A detailed introduction to the Greek island of santorini

Santorini Island was called Scylla Island in ancient times, and was later renamed santorini Island in 1207 to commemorate Setilin. It is a well-known island in the Aegean Sea, and it is the southernmost island in cyclades, with a distance of 0 nautical miles from Athens 1 10. Santorini Island consists of three small islands, two of which are inhabited, and the 1 island in the middle is a sleeping volcanic island. There have been many volcanic eruptions here in history, and the most serious one occurred in 1500 BC. The center of the island collapsed in a large area, and the original round island presented today's crescent shape. Ferra, the capital of santorini Island, is located on the west coast of the island.

Santorini is an island ring composed of a group of volcanoes in the Aegean Sea, located 200 kilometers southeast of the Greek mainland. Located between 36.40 N and 25.40 E, between the deepest trenches of the two continental plates in the world. The largest island in santorini Island Ring is also called santorini Island, also known as Tila Island. Santorini Island is located at the southernmost tip of Cycladesislandcomplex, with an island area of 96 square kilometers, a coastline of 69 kilometers, and a population of about1.4000, mostly Greeks. "santorini" was named by Venetians in13rd century and originated from Saint Irene. Previously, this island was called Scylla, Calisti or Strangely. ?

Santorini, located at the southernmost tip of cyclades, is one of the most famous Greek islands. 3500 years ago, the most violent volcanic eruption occurred here for thousands of years, leaving a crater and hundreds of meters thick volcanic ash, which indirectly led to the demise of Crete civilization in Crete. ?

Santorini has special black gravel beaches and black beaches. Santorini consists of three small islands. On one side of the island, near the crater, there are four small towns: Thira, Imerovigli, Firastefani and Oia.

Ancient santorini: Later Phoenicians and Dorians came to rule the island respectively. The Greek city of Scylla, located at an altitude of 396 meters, was founded by Dorian colonists in the 9th century BC. According to legend, their leader is Scylla (θ? ραν)。 They lived here until Byzantine times. According to Herodotus (4. 149- 165), after seven years of drought, Scylla sent many colonists to establish many cities in North Africa, including Cyrene. Like other Greek territories, santorini was later occupied by Romans, Byzantines and Franks. 1579, the control of the island fell into the hands of the Ottomans. ?

Modern santorini Island: 19 12 santorini Island is under Greek jurisdiction. The main settlements on santorini Island are Akrotiri and Ferrara (φ η ρ? )，Oyiya (ο？ α)、Amporio (ε μ π ο ρ ε？ ο), Camarri (κ α μ? ρ ι), Imo Lowery (η μ ε ο β? γ λ ι), Pilgos (π? ργο? ) and tin Lahja (θ η ρ α σ? α)。 The ruins of Minos in Akrotiri are large archaeological excavations for tourists to visit. ?

There are no streams on santorini Island, so there is water shortage. ? Until the 1990s, the water used by the islanders mainly depended on rainwater imported from roofs and patios, small springs and even from other places. Now the island is equipped with a desalination plant to provide daily water for residents and tourists. The main economy of the island is tourism. In order to protect the crater, 1986 closed the pumice yard on the island. Santorini also has a small wine industry, relying on the local unique grape variety "asir Tico" (α σ? ρ ι ο) and a little famous. Grape branches in Tico, asir are very old, because they are immune to the grape nodule aphid, so they were not removed when the disease was prevalent in the early 20th century. According to their habits, the spacing between plants is very large and they are wet by dew. They are planted in baskets and grapes are hung inside to keep out the wind. The local specialty is also red and sweet but very strong San Santo wine (β ι ν σ? ντο)。 ?

1704 A submarine volcano broke through the surface and gradually formed the present New Kameni Island, the center of volcanic activity. There were three eruptions in the 20th century, the latest one was1950; 1956 santorini Island suffered another devastating earthquake. At some point in the future, it will eventually regain its strength.

Santorini Island is a well-known island in the Aegean Sea, which is the southernmost island in cyclades, with a distance of 0 nautical miles from Athens 1 10. Santorini Island consists of three small islands, two of which are inhabited, and the 1 island in the middle is a sleeping volcanic island. Santorini Island covers a total area of 96 square kilometers, with 13 villages and towns and a total population of about 7,000 people. The capital is Ferra, located on the west coast of the island. ?

In the second half of the 20th century, archaeologists excavated ancient city ruins in Tilly, Acoro, south of the island, and discovered wonderful mural art, thus adding tourism charm to santorini Island.

There have been many volcanic eruptions here in history, the most serious being BC 1500. The center of the island collapsed in a large area, and the original round island presented today's crescent shape. It is said that the mysterious destruction of Atlantis (myth? Yes? That? Lost? Atlantis) originated from the volcanic eruption on the island. When you visit santorini Island, you will see black, red and white volcanic rocks, which are all products of volcanic eruption. ?

The disastrous eruption of Mount Scylla was the most important historical event in the Aegean region before the fall of Troy. This eruption may lead to great climate change in the eastern Mediterranean, and it is also the largest volcanic eruption event on earth for thousands of years. ?

There are white volcanic ash deposits about 60 meters thick on santorini Island, the bottom of which is the ground at that time. The stratum can be divided into three different levels, corresponding to different eruption stages. ?

A series of earthquakes may have occurred before the volcanic eruption, which warned the local residents of the danger of disaster and gave them time to pack their bags and evacuate this dangerous area. Because no remains of victims of volcanic eruption were found in Akrotiri site, the only body was proved to belong to the tomb that existed before the volcanic eruption. The thickness of the first layer of volcanic ash and the way this layer of sediment is eroded by rain indicate that the volcano has warned people months before eruption (not years ago). It is urgent to investigate whether further excavation can find the bodies of residents who gathered on the beach because they failed to escape in time, just as Herculaneum failed to survive the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. ?

Some scholars think that archaeological chronology should be revised according to the conclusion of carbon dating, others think that the conclusion of carbon dating is completely wrong, and some seek a compromise between the two and find a scheme that can take into account both. It is not feasible to revise the archaeological chronology of the bronze age of Aegean civilization, because it requires the revision of the mature general Egyptian chronology at the same time, which is quite unacceptable. This argument continues. ?

The data of three tree rings show that a major event occurred before 1629- 1628, which affected the normal development of trees. It may be the first 1644 event found in Greenland ice. But there is no conclusive evidence to equate the two events, and the two events may even be unrelated. At present, there is no strong evidence to prove or falsify the relationship between the annual ring anomalies before 1628 and the outbreak of Scylla. ?

China's records. Some scholars try to link the natural disasters recorded in the history books during the reign of Emperor Jie in the late summer with the climate change caused by this eruption. For example, Chronicle, an ancient bamboo book, records "Eloquence Exhaustion", "Three Days Out Together" and "Thunderstorm". But because the chronology of Xia Dynasty was not established; Moreover, the chronology of bamboo books has increased and decreased in the process of circulation, and the historical authenticity needs to be verified; Coupled with the lack of evidence to explain the connection between these disasters and eruptions, this statement has yet to be confirmed. ?

Egyptian record. Strangely, there seems to be no record of this eruption in Egypt. It was once claimed that santorini volcanic ash was found in the Nile Delta, which was later proved to be a false detection. Others think that the eruption of Scylla and the collapse of the mountain inspired the mythical imagination, such as the Titan War in hesiod's genealogy, and the advice (exhortation? Yes? The disaster in ypres). ?

There have been many volcanic eruptions here in history, the most serious being BC 1500. The center of the island collapsed in a large area, and the original round island presented today's crescent shape. It is said that the mysterious destruction of Atlantis (myth? Yes? That? Lost?

This site can be traced back to BC16th century. Archaeologists found a two-or three-story building complex here, and the walls were divided into many rooms. I found a ladies' room, so I thought there was a difference between men and women at that time. There is also a complicated canal system. When the Tilly site in Acoro was excavated, archaeologists couldn't find any bones and jewels, and there were wine stains on the unearthed wine bottles. ? The most wonderful thing in the site is the mural on the wall.
