The eruption that formed the caldera dates to 22,000 years ago (that’s not 2,200, but ten times that); there was no tsunami, no “super-eruption” in the 2nd M BC, IMHO it’s a persistent delusional system, and actually originated in the 19th century, but has been periodically revived since then. There’s literally no connection to the super-eruption, which is imaginary; historically the only known eruption from literate antiquity is circa 200 BC.
Even this more conventional date of 1500 or so BC would, if true, have zero connection to the fall of the Minoans, which was nearly a century later, and sudden, and all signs point to a sacking, burning invader. Not by coincidence, the Mycenaean Greeks took over the former Minoan areas and trade routes.
Forcing this supposed eruption to 1620s BC means that the sudden end to the Minoans happened something like two centuries later, which actually helps illustrate the nonsensical claim that there’s any connection whatsoever.
Thanks, that is actually very interesting. I have seen programs on “The History Channel” stating that the tsunami was what ended the Minoan Civilization tho also admitting that it also coincided with the rise of Mycenae and Tyrins.
