Did you know, that the (in Dutch) "minoische beschaving", think it is called in English Minoic Civilication, from 1500 before Christ disseappeerd due to a vulcano erruption???

This erruption was so big, that the city was under so much ash, and they found it completely and in tact. Also some people managed to escape, but others died.
This vulcano erruption was followed by some huge waves of water, and so it was destroyed.

But the people that managed to survive, the lived for over, at least 50 years somewhere else... near a island.
Another part of the dissapearing is that they didn't obay the king any more. They thought that he could rule everything, even mother nature. Due to the vulcano and the huge waves, they started to dislike the king. The tried other things to keep mother nature calm.. like offering their childeren. So this civilazation bacame week.. and the greeks took over everything.

Heheh, read a great book today. and saw a video about it. That was nice to see... and learnt a bit more about it.
It is soooo cool, that (art) history!
