Summary

Imagine living through the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried Pompeii in ash – way scarier than any horror movie! The Great Flood from ancient myths, like Noah’s Ark, would have been a terrifying sight with water everywhere. The Bronze Age collapse around 1200 BC saw entire civilizations fall apart, causing chaos and fear. The volcanic eruption in Santorini around 1600 BC devastated the Minoan civilization and sent shockwaves through the region. And let's not forget about the tsunami that hit the Minoan civilization around the same time, wiping out entire cities in a flash. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
