worldhistoryfacts:Fresco of a fisherman from the Minoan period, ca. 1600 BCE, in Akrotiri, Santorini, Greece. The settlement at Akrotiri was a major spot for sea travel and trade, as it was in between Cyprus and Crete, the core of Minoan culture. A volcanic eruption destroyed much of the island in the 1500s BCE; the climate change resulting from the eruption is suspected to have begun the decline of Minoan civilization. -- source link
