Solved, Mystery of Atlantis

INILAH.COM, Jakarta - a volcanic eruption that eliminates many of the island, likely to inspire the emergence of a rich civilization legend of Atlantis after scientists found evidence of distant tsunamis hundreds of miles to reach Israeli territory at this time.

New discoveries about past tsunamis that can shed light on the potential disasters in the future, the researchers said.

Island-a small, circular archipelago of Santorini, about 120 miles (200 km) southeast of Greece is the remainder of the once-worth only one island, before one of the largest volcanic eruption in human life to destroy it in the Bronze Age between 1630 BC to 1550 BC.

Speculation abounds whether the eruption of Santorini inspired the legend of Atlantis, which Plato said sank in the sea. Although the story is often considered only as a legend, but the eruption may have given birth to stories about the kingdom with the Minoan civilization that once dominated the Mediterranean.

The main allegations are damaging Minoan civilization is a giant tsunami triggered by the eruption. However, the precise effects of the eruption and the emergence of the killer waves is still a mystery for decades.

Now scientists have discovered that a tsunami was strong enough to drive as far as 600 miles (1,000 km) from Santorini to reach the farthest east coast of the Mediterranean, and left a thick layer of debris with more than one foot on the coast of Israel.

Researchers dig up to 65 feet (20 meters) on the coast of Caesarea in Israel to collect sediment tubes, along more than 6 feet (2 meters) from the seabed.

Researcher Beverly Goodman, a marine geologist from the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat Israel said, in essence, they found evidence of almost 16-inch rough sediment, on the date of the eruption of Santorini.

Various sizes of particles showed that the deposit may be caused by the tsunami at the time. This discovery is more accidental, Goodman noted. They actually studied the demise of the ancient port of Caesarea, which is still a debate, because of what anything, including the possibility of earthquakes and tsunamis.

"I'm testing the remains of Roman and Byzantine tsunami by examining the grain size of sand, gravel, stones, pieces of ceramics - the remains of it. I do not think that the remnants of the Santorini event will be included in the core". [Ito ]
