"Some of them were burned, but that's consistent with sacking by human hordes."

This occurred within 50 years after the tsaunami hit Crete. Some suspect the 'hordes' were the Mycenes(sp).

Hey, I'm lighter than air. ;') Since the tsunami never existed in historial times, the hordes must have come first. :') The Mycenaeans were indeed the horde though. Regardless of what PBS says, there is absolutely no evidence of any tsunami in historical times on Crete, other than those of recent centuries, all of which were mild, and in each case caused by earthquakes. There's some ancient damage which could have been caused by earthquake.
