legendary aftermaths of the volcano. Other than the washing out of the civilizations in Crete and Mainland Greece, the eruption is said to be behind the plagues and floods that disrupted Egypt in the time of Noah.
The massive ‘tsunami’ caused by the destruction of the mountain destroyed fleets and settlements from Minoan Crete to the Mediterranean shores. Volcanic ashes spread along the ground adding to the death toll as well as blocking the sunlight for weeks. Gases of the volcano is said to have risen up to the stratosphere and moved with the high winds, causing climatic consequences across the globe.
The calamity is made more mysterious with the myth of Atlantis. Plato’s Atlantis had attracted historians to research the timeline and after-effects of the Santorini Volcano. The NGC series is set to stir up interest and curiosity regarding the area. Scientific finds from the research will throw light into the past of Santorini and Crete, Plato’ Atlantis and maybe even a future mega-eruption.
