The Santorini Cataclysm; Greece’s Recently Discovered Megaeruption
During the early Bronze Age, one of the largest and most destructive volcanic eruptions in human history occurred, striking a primary settlement of the Minoan civilization. This destructive event originated from Greece’s island of Santorini, tearing an hole (a caldera) in the middle of the island. Yet, recent evidence has suggested that this was not the first similarly sized eruption to have originated from Santorini. As, around half a million years ago, a volcanic megaeruption caused pyroclastic flows to race across thousands of square kilometers of ocean, going on to reach the islands of Anafi and Christiana.
