The BBC turns to the story of the greatest natural disaster that shook the ancient world, the disaster that caused the collapse of civilization and gave birth to a legend, in the film BBC. Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend.
Around 1620 BC, a giant volcano in the Aegean Sea awoke after sleeping for the past 19,000 years. A powerful eruption destroyed the island of Tyra (better known as Santorini) and caused huge tsunamis that flooded the neighboring island of Crete, the center of the first great European civilization - the Minoan. This catastrophe, as many experts believe today, served as the inspiration for the legend of Atlantis.
The philosopher Plato, who outlined in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias the story of the death of a highly developed civilization called Atlantis, posed a mystery to many generations of researchers who tried to find the location of the legendary country. As many scientists believe today, it was the eruption on the island of Santorini that caused the appearance of myths, on the basis of which the story of Atlantis appeared. Written by BBC. Atlantis: The End of the World, the Birth of a Legend decided to recreate the world of the inhabitants of the island and the catastrophe that befell them.
With the help of state-of-the-art film technology, including CGI technology, they unfold a picture of the terrible disaster that has gripped the island and its inhabitants, giving the opportunity to see so closely one of the greatest disasters in human history. close
