<div>The eruptio of Thera (now Santorini) about 1615BCE is blamed for a
lot of mythical catastophes, from Atlantis to the events of Exodus.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It was certainly a monster, probably 4 or 5 Krakatoas.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But the realitiy is, if you're caught up in a natural disaster of
some sort, you have no idea how big or widespread it is. Mount St
Helens in 1980 was a pipsqueak of an eruption by geological standards -
small consolation if you happened to be one of the unfortunates caught
in it. For them, it was every bit as devastating as Thera.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Earthquakes, eruptions, tsunamis, giant storms, all will have
occured to everyone's ancestors sooner or later. Teasing out which is
referred to in a particular myth is impossible unless you have a fluke
of archaeology.</div>
