Description
Separated by 1704 years, two cities forever “frozen” by ash and lava within their historical time give us a “snapshot” into the daily lives of people living at the moment of the cataclysmic eruption that essentially “blasted” their world from the face of the Earth. Is Akrotiri (Thera, 1625 BCE), as some claim, the source of Plato’s Atlantis? Why are there no bodies or great treasures found in Akrotiri’s ruins? What happened to the ancient Minoans? What was the seaport of Pompeii like before the disaster (Vesuvius, 79 CE) struck? Why were there so many lives lost at Pompeii? Join us for this and more!
