The Destruction of Akrotiri: Bronze Age Atlantis

Exploring the Rise and Fall of the Minoan Civilization at Akrotiri. Was this the real source of Plato's Atlantis? We investigate the Thera eruption and the lost city of the Minotaur. Long before Plato taught his students about Atlantis being destroyed by a cataclysm, there really was a great ancient civilization that was destroyed by one of the Earth's most violent natural disasters of all time... This is the story of the Rise & Fall of one of the greatest cities to ever exist in the ancient world: Akrotiri. Thank you to American Financing for sponsoring this video!
