Thanks, that is actually very interesting. I have seen programs on “The History Channel” stating that the tsunami was what ended the Minoan Civilization tho also admitting that it also coincided with the rise of Mycenae and Tyrins.

Oops I think that city is spelled Tiryns probably to keep it from being confused with Tyre.

Yeah, isn’t that peculiar? There’s literally no credible evidence for the tsunami in the Aegean; the collapsed side of the caldera points toward the Greek mainland, where the Mycenaeans were; there’s no evidence of a tsunami there, either, but if any such tsunami had happened — as the supereruption advocates claim — the Mycenaeans would have taken the brunt of it; and since there’s no sign of a decline among the Minoan towns for another 80 or so years, wouldn’t it make much more sense to have the Minoans take over the tsunami’d remains of mainland Greece instead? :’)
