Santorini volcano

[Charlie Marlow]

Looks like a massive volcano eruption could be imminent in the Santorini area.

Santorini is in the Mediterranean Sea

Italy is also surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea

Nick Sirriani is of Italian heritage

Eagles win the Super Bowl obviously

Yes but

San Tornini means Taylor Swift in Latin as well as "biased ref" in sanskrit.

This is sound logic. I have nothing to refute this.

I was in Tokyo just a couple of days before the big 2011 tsunami. Would everyone like my expert analysis?

No??? Haters.

Are people from Crete called Cretins?

Plunged the entire eastern half of the Mediterranean into a “nuclear winter”. We have Egyptian records saying ash falling on northern Egypt and several years of darkness/limited daylight and toxic/acid rains during that period.

Isn't that the god of “fair catch”?

when I went to crete my tour guide said they would steal your underwear off you in athens..
but they found baby bones in cooking grates off the coast of crete so...maybe a good flood is required once in a while..idk

I read the "seed of israel is no more" in the cairo museum...so maybe they embellish a bit..idk

A lot of speculation around the fall of the Minoan empire/civilization. Lots of evidence of internal strife, conflict and demise before the tsunami devastated the entire northern coast of Crete. Unfortunately we have very few archaeological artifacts displaying their written language. It’s a hieroglyphic style language that has never been translated. Nevertheless, the eruption was still a huge catastrophic event for Minoan people. And yes, people from modern day Crete are called Cretans. Pronounced exactly like the English word “cretins”.

But I’m sure you know all this having been to Crete. I hope I get to go someday. As now I’m just a guy with history minor who still finds this stuff fascinating 20 years later. 🙂

the guy with a bulls head in a maze..always creeped me out...I guess they were pretty good at jumping bulls and doing a back flip at the same time....I was in san antonio earlier this week and trapped for 3 hours in the buckhorn museum, cause they closed the street off for a cattle drive...made me think of jumping bulls to get back to my car...

I mean, knowing exactly how extensive the effects the eruption were on places like Egypt and Israel isn’t an exact science so to speak. The event happened almost 4,000 years ago and the only non-geological evidence we have are from 3-4,000 year old Egyptian hieroglyphs that we just learned how translate in the last 100 years.
