Discover the cataclysmic eruption of Thera that reshaped the Minoan civilization! What really happened? #MinoanCivilization #TheraEruption #HistoryMystery #AncientCivilizations

Around 1450 BCE, the eruption of Thera, a massive volcano on Santorini, dramatically impacted the Minoan civilization on Crete. This cataclysmic event unleashed a violent explosion, sending ash and pumice into the atmosphere. The subsequent tsunami devastated coastal settlements, causing widespread destruction. The aftermath was even more dire, as the ash fallout likely altered the climate, leading to severe agricultural failures and famine. This catastrophe is often blamed for the Minoans’ decline. Additionally, some historians suggest that invasions by Mycenaeans may have compounded these effects, leading to a dual crisis for the Minoans, making their fall an intricate blend of nature's fury and human conflict.
