Summary
In his philosophical dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, Plato writes of an ancient but advanced society of unparalleled wealth that in "one grievous day and night" was "swallowed up by the sea and vanished". Brand new geo-archaeological evidence suggests that Plato's story was inspired by the greatest natural disaster of the ancient world: the eruption of the Thera volcano around 1620 BC. An island in the Aegean Sea, now known as Santorini, Thera was the trading hub of Europe's first great civilisation-the Minoans. Featuring interviews with the world's leading experts, this film delves into the amazing lost world of the Minoans and highlights the startling parallels between Bronze Age Thera and Plato's Atlantis.
