THE SUNKEN CITY THAT INSPIRED ATLANTIS: Finding the Real Myth | MythByte Chronicles

Описание: The legend of Atlantis is perhaps the world's greatest mystery, but what if the story we know is just a second-hand account of a real, terrifying disaster that changed the course of ancient history?

In this deep dive for MythByte Chronicles, we journey back 3,600 years to the beautiful Aegean island of Thera (modern-day Santorini). We analyze the staggering evidence suggesting that the catastrophic volcanic eruption and subsequent megatsunami that wiped out the powerful Minoan civilization wasn't just a natural disaster—it was the geographical and historical template Plato used to create the myth of Atlantis!

Did arrogance sink Atlantis, or was it a supervolcano? Join us as we uncover the astonishing parallels between the sunken island's legend and the tragic historical chronicle of Thera.
