The rest of the Thera keyword, sorted, probably some chaff in here:
Headline is not plausible. Skeletons are already dead and can’t be killed.
Was he vaccinated?
He might have died in the tidal wave generated by the eruption of the Santorini super-volcano, which happened around 1620 BC.
Same story written slightly differently.
Among other things, it was unclear exactly when the volcano erupted. So far, experts have assumed the 16th or 17th century BC. Earlier studies focused primarily on deposits of pumice stone, ash and loose lava fragments, write the researchers from Turkey, Israel and Austria.
In contrast, they draw their conclusions mainly from the tsunami deposits in the city of Cesme-Baglararasi. The then regional center is located west of Izmir on a headland on the Turkish west coast about 230 kilometers from the volcano. In the deposits, the team found the first documented alleged victims of the flood disaster – two skeletons, of a young man and a dog.
After analyzing layers of the earth containing residues from marine life such as lagoon cockles (Cerastoderma glaucum) and limpets (patella), the team assumes that the site was hit by several tsunami waves at the time. The researchers also conclude from the one-sided alignment of the rubble that the destruction came from tsunamis and not from earthquakes.
For example, parts of the fortress wall and adjacent houses were washed inland. Isolated deep pits within the tsunami layers therefore testify that people were looking for survivors and dead in the rubble. “The human skeleton was about three feet below such a pit, suggesting that it was too deep to be found and was therefore (probably unknowingly) left behind.”
Lots of conjecture in the writing, but they tell a good story from the rubble left behind.
