5 Древних Городов, Которые Исчезли За Одну Ночь

Five ancient cities that disappeared almost instantly. Some were swallowed by the sea, others were covered by volcanic ash, and still others were buried by sands and flows of molten lava. In this episode, we examine real archaeological finds and try to understand what connects these catastrophes and what signal the Earth gave before each of them. In the video: • Helike, Greece — a city that sank underwater overnight in 373 BC • Akrotiri, Santorini — a Bronze Age settlement abandoned before an eruption • Thonis-Heracleion, Egypt — a sunken port raised from the bottom of Abu Qir Bay • Skara Brae, Scotland — a Neolithic village uncovered by an 1850 storm • Cuicuilco, Mexico — an ancient city with a circular pyramid, buried by lava This is an educational video, based on the works of archaeologists and historical sources.

Goddio and the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM), Hilti Foundation (Thonis-Heracleion) — Historic Environment Scotland and reports by V. G. Childe (Skara Brae) — Akrotiri excavation data (ongoing since 1967) — World History Encyclopedia: materials on Cuicuilco and Xitle volcano — U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on soil liquefaction And which camp are you closer to: these people had no chance at all, or the signal simply wasn't heard?
