Akrotiri: Greece's own Pompeii from the Bronze Age
Original: Greece has its own Pompeii: Thera buried Akrotiri in ash 17th-16th century BCE
The Minoan settlement of Akrotiri on the island of Thera, modern Santorini, was buried under volcanic ash in the 17th-16th century BCE, preserving a sophisticated seafaring Bronze Age society much as Pompeii preserved Roman life. The site features multi-storey buildings, frescoes and advanced drainage, drawing renewed attention to its archaeological significance.
Why now: A feature article comparing Akrotiri to Pompeii has renewed public interest in the Bronze Age site.
