Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend
BBC One
The new drama and documentary that was released by BBC One on Sunday 8 May 2011 tells the dramatic story of the greatest natural disaster that shaked the ancient world, a disaster that triggered the downfall of a civilisation and spawned a legend. Around 1620 BC a gigantic volcano in the Aegean Sea stirred from its 19,000-year slumber. The eruption tore the island of Thera apart, producing massive tsunamis that flooded the nearby island of Crete, the centre of Europe’s first great civilisation – the “Minoans”. This apocalyptic event, many experts now believe, provided the inspiration for the legend of Atlantis. Based on the work of leading scientists, archaeologists and historians, this drama immerses viewers in the exotic world of the ” Minoans”.
