    Excellent video! And thanks very much for mentioning Swallow's Dance. I was lucky enough to visit Akrotiri with a wonderful guide, as well as the great little museum in Thera while I was researching the book. It was incredibly moving.

    It was so cool to see how the volcano shaped Santorini! Pictures never conveyed to me just how steeply the island rose from the ocean

      I think that the Island did not rise from the sea. Thera Island was round ... The eruption tore apart most of the Island leaving only the croissant that we have today. In the center of the caldera after a new eruption in the year 46-47 AD a small island rose named Kameni. Kameni translates in burned... In 1570 and 1770 AD other landmasses rose near the previous.
      The Volcano is still active and spits regularly lava..

    Well done!
    And the role of Minoans in spreading proto-Greek mythology to Phoenicia/Canaan/Hebrew mythology cannot be overstated.

    Would you have left the island after the earthquakes? What do you think it would have been like to be a refugee in the Aegean Bronze Age?

      Exactly the question I started with when I wrote Swallow's Dance!

    By means of woodrings on a tree in Turkey, the Akrotiri eruption has been established at 1560.

    I love the book "Unearthing Atlantis" about Thera.

    Pompeii is the Roman Akrotiri since it predates Pompeii and was much larger.

    I don't understand why Thira would have been on an important trade route between Crete and Cyprus. Thira is north of Crete and Cyprus is east

    Remains could still be found. Some remains were found on Thirassia.
