- What will you see at Akrotiri's West House and what was found in there? On the Greek island of Santorini there was a major volcanic eruption around 1,500 B.C. It reshaped the island and buried the ancient city of Akrotiri, its buildings, and advanced technology for its time. The West House is a three story home at Triangle Square with indoor plumbing, frescoes, tools, and luxurious accommodations. We will tour the ruins and what was found in the house, including a description of the rooms and the items found within. We will look at the frescoes of the fisherman, flotilla, and a river landscape.

this is one of the most incredible places on the planet, the earliest evidence of civilised man
It's definitely an amazing place. We've been working hard on an overall Akrotiri video that we're excited to release today. -Veronica
Excellent video with details! I hope there are more videos with details about those Minoan (Atlantis) people.
Very interesting.
0:10 the fresco shows war ships with a Naval RAM,
meanwhile books state that naval rams were invented much later (at least 500 years later)
Terrific murals and paintings.
Thank you.
So, these rhyton lion's heads were like pitchers without a handle, I suppose.
The site always seems to be closed to visitors whenever I’ve visited.
This is not 3500 years old. 1600 BCE the volcano erupted but the city is much older than it's demise by 1600 years. Why do you think we have castles that are 500-1000+ years old in all of Europe and they are still alive. If there would be lava flowing over it, is the castles lifetime gone? No. And Akrotiri is also much older than 1600 BCE. It's likely atleast 4000 years old at the very least
Interesting but the music and speaker voice was annoying.
Houses with windows in the Bronze Age ?
Omg the bad vibe music is killing me.😮
