Greece: Secrets of the Past (2006)
From "Atlantis" to the Parthenon
15 February 2006 - 9 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
Viewed at San Diego Cinema Society event. This is an archaeological film with a little geology and mineralogy thrown in. It tells how an evolving Bronze Age culture on the island of Santorini off Greece was being explored along with how they dated the volcanic eruption which wiped out the bronze age community from Greenland ice cores. It also seems reasonable to me that it may be the real site of the mythical Atlantis. It then went on to some discussion of how Greek archeology is being studied in much the same way through scientific reconstruction aided by computer graphics. Scenery includes terrific aerial views over archaeological sites and one brief but spectacular satellite view. A very nice film.
