It's definitely an amazing place. We've been working hard on an overall Akrotiri video that we're excited to release today. -Veronica

Very interesting.

[@vice4134]

Excellent video with details! I hope there are more videos with details about those Minoan (Atlantis) people.

[@dorfmanjones]

Terrific murals and paintings.

Thank you. So, these rhyton lion's heads were like pitchers without a handle, I suppose.

0:10 the fresco shows war ships with a Naval RAM, meanwhile books state that naval rams were invented much later (at least 500 years later)

This is not 3500 years old. 1600 BCE the volcano erupted but the city is much older than it's demise by 1600 years. Why do you think we have castles that are 500-1000+ years old in all of Europe and they are still alive. If there would be lava flowing over it, is the castles lifetime gone? No. And Akrotiri is also much older than 1600 BCE. It's likely atleast 4000 years old at the very least

Yes and No! Don't forget this is a highly seismic zone who compelled its dwellers to frequent renovations. We just don't know how recent of ancient these buildings are because we don't have enough excavations and study done. How I wish Archaeology was a priority, economically speaking, for many countries around the world. But USA & EU prefer investing in weapons in Ukraine ...

@@massimosquecco8956 minoans were famous for its anti earthquake architecture. I have been to many of its archaeological sites and know that its anti earthquake techniques have been used in the 3rd millennuim BCE. And also the blocks of the Palatial period of 2000BCE onwards are huge. It would be pretty earth quake resistant. Aside of that. Knossos was among the longest continous liviing towns/cities with a conrinuity tracing back 7000BCE.

Interesting how advanced people were in those days

The site always seems to be closed to visitors whenever I’ve visited.

Houses with windows in the Bronze Age ?
