Alexander IV History's video: Sinking Atlantis 2008 720p Documentary

5000 years ago the Minoans flourished on the island of Crete. Their advanced culture became the setting for many famous Greek myths about Theseus, Icarus and the Minotaur. Yet in their heyday the Minoans were wiped from the pages of history. The cause of their downfall has remained a mystery of the ancient world. Sinking Atlantis explores, and discounts, the usual theories about the disappearance of the Minoans -- from a massive volcano that buried them in ash, to Greek invaders who conquered and killed them. Drawing from the archaeological records, new revelations about Minoan language and religion, and shocking new geological discoveries, the film connects fact with fiction, and reveals the truth behind the reign and fall of the great Minoan civilization.
