[Verginius Rufus]

I never knew there was a connection between the construction of the Suez Canal and the rediscovery of the Bronze Age site on Thera (Santorini). I wouldn't have thought they would need to dig through Thera to construct the Suez Canal. I've been told that my great-grandfather worked on the Suez Canal but I never got a chance to talk to him about it.

There was a report about 1987 that analysis of volcanic ash which fell on Greenland (discovered from cores drilled through the Greenland ice cap) indicated a date around 1628 B.C. for the great eruption of the volcano on Thera. There may be some scholars who still prefer a later date for the destruction of the Bronze Age civilization on Thera.
