The volcanic explosion that obliterated much of the island that

The islands that make up the small circular archipelago of Santorini,

once was a single island, before <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/realtsunamimayhaveinspiredlegendofatlantis/33678658/SIG=11pdcdv8q/*http://www.livescience.com/history/080225-hs-thera.html"><SPAN id="lw_1255095658_3" class="yshortcuts">one of the largest volcanic eruptions in human antiquity</SPAN></A> shattered it in the <SPAN id="lw_1255095658_4" class="yshortcuts">Bronze Age</SPAN> some time <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/realtsunamimayhaveinspiredlegendofatlantis/33678658/SIG=11u9ijmo7/*http://www.livescience.com/history/060427_olive_volcano.html"><SPAN id="lw_1255095658_5" class="yshortcuts">between 1630 B.C. to 1550 B.C</SPAN></A>.

Speculation has abounded as to whether the Santorini eruption inspired the <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/realtsunamimayhaveinspiredlegendofatlantis/33678658/SIG=120grj0af/*http://www.livescience.com/history/atlantis_theory_041115.html">legend of Atlantis</A>,
which Plato said drowned in the ocean. Although the isle is often
regarded as just an invention, the explosion might have given rise to
the story of a lost empire by helping to wipe out the real-life <SPAN id="lw_1255095658_6" class="yshortcuts">Minoan
