Minoans are the people who lived
thousand and thousands of years ago.
They lived in the island of Thera (now
called Santorini) and in the island of
Crete (another island in Greece)
Did the Minoans escape this
eruption?

No, there was no way that the Minoans
could have escaped. There was
supposed to be life boats to save them
from the eruption. But they didn’t come
,it was to risky for them.
What happened to Thera since
this eruption?

This eruption was soo big that the
island of Thera is formed to a shape of
a half moon.

thing?

The eruption pretty much destroyed
everything,but after a while of looking
people found a whole city burred under
neath the ash! Now it’s a great tourist
attraction. Its amazing how they found
a whole city in my opinion!
