It was the second-largest volcanic eruption in human history, completely destroying Santorini and the surrounding islands.
An impressive video from the YouTube channel Homemade attempts to recreate the eruption of the Santorini volcano, which, according to recent studies, took place after 1600 BC.
Known as the Minoan eruption, this event occurred during the Late Bronze Age on the island of Strongyli, leading to the formation of what we now call the Santorini caldera and the destruction of the prehistoric civilization on the island.
The Late Bronze Age was a period of great prosperity, during which the influence of the Minoan civilization left a lasting impact on the cultures of the Aegean.
