Akrotiri, the Minoan Pompei, is presented with reference to the latest research results. The video uses scenery animations, AI images and on site video footage. It focuses on questions as: Was the Cycladic culture part of a Minoan advanced culture? What do we know about power structures and everyday life in Akrotiri? When did the great cataclysm take place and what impact did it have on Akrotiri and the entire Cycladic and Minoan culture?
