Santorini: Looking for Atlantis

The video explores the discovery of seashells on high ground in the Mediterranean, suggesting a link to the myth of Atlantis. It delves into the history of the Minoan civilization on Crete, which was devastated by a mega tsunami caused by the eruption of the Santorini volcano in 1630 BC. The eruption led to a massive wave that may have contributed to the civilization's decline. The video also connects this event to Plato's writings on Atlantis, proposing that the myth may have originated from the Minoan's fate.
