Re: The "Sinking Atlantis" Tsunami Myth Debunked
Hi Shepard -
It looks to me like the end of LM1B occurred when the Minoan appenage forces serving under Te' Hantalishi were killed by an impact. At least that's what their contemporaries claimed:
http://archaeologica.boardbot.com/viewt ... =10&t=2247
That left Crete open for the Achaeans.
Personally, I'd much rather be at Amnissos right now, closely studying the tsunami's effects, as well as looking for evidence for a pyroclastic surge.

And maybe drinking some Retsina and eating some Domales...

Maybe skip my diabetes pills for a day and get tanked on raki....
I have this feeling I'm not the only one here who feels this way. Hell, we could probably get group rates...
On the other hand, I have some major site work to do here, location and identification, and the sites are are interesting and important... but still, none of them matches the Aegean... so far...
No wonder that many Cretans live to be 100...

“No wonder that many Cretans live to be 100...”
What!!
In spite of being (in Paul’s un-original words) “Cretans are always lairs injurious, wild beasts, unemployed gluttons?”
Seems like a nice place.
Live to 100 while living like that.

Re: The "Sinking Atlantis" Tsunami Myth Debunked
Many years ago I saw a recruiting poster for the University of Miami. It featured a couple of student bodies lying on the beach along with the come on "We've got your degrees"
So I've come up with a hypothetical daily schedule for the foreign archaeology students at the University of Crete's smaller centers:
10 AM: Day begins with first class: coffee/tea and conversational Greek, discussion of previous days finds, lectures on the archaeology of Crete
11:300 AM, 12 Noon or so - 2 PM: Meal time with a full English breakfast
2 PM - 7 PM : Field work, visits to other sites
7PM, 8:30 - 9 PM or so: light dinner
9 PM or so - 1, 2 AM or so: physical exercise, conversational German, Swedish, Norse, English, etc., depending on the student's aptitude and interests
1, 2 AM or so: Massage following physical exercise, depending on the student's luck
2 - 10 AM : sleep
Saturday's open for shopping, text work
Sunday's open for religious services, preparing for the next week's field work
Any student who wishes can live in a primitive field camp on the south side of the island digging through 10s of feet of volcanic deposits looking for very early maritime remains.
(kb, I added that last study track especially for you.)
