Description
Deutsch: Akrotiri (griechisch Ακρωτήρι (n. sg.)) ist eine archäologische Ausgrabungsstätte im Süden der griechischen Insel Santorin (gr. auch Thira; agr. Thēra). Die Stadt wurde in ihrer Blütezeit durch einen Vulkanausbruch verschüttet und so für über 3500 Jahre konserviert.
English: Akrotiri is the name of an excavation site of a Minoan Bronze Age settlement on the Greek island of Santorini, associated with the Minoan civilization due to inscriptions in Linear A, and close similarities in artifact and fresco styles. Akrotiri was buried by the widespread Theran eruption in the middle of the second millennium BC (during the Late Minoan IA period); as a result, like the Roman ruins of Pompeii after it, it is remarkably well-preserved.
