Santorini Unraveled: Dating the Minoan Eruption and the Bronze Age World

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

A Deep Dive into the VEI-7 Santorini eruption and its global reach. We map the four explosive phases, megatsunamis, and the archaeological clues from Akrotiri and Crete, then tackle the fierce debate over the eruption’s date and why it matters for Bronze Age chronology. With radiocarbon science, ice-core signals, and geochemistry, this is a detective story about how one catastrophe rippled across civilizations—from Egypt to Greece—and possibly even inspired myth.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
