	A forró pontok
		A population of 8 thousand people lives on the two main islands, Thira and Thirassy (in the two cities of Phira and Oia), while the lesser islands of Palea Kameni, Nea Kameni and Aspronesi are deserted.
		The catastrophy that sinked Thira in the sea was on the one hand, reconstructed by monitoring past eruptions (like the Krakatau’s activity in 1883), and on the other, researchers exploring layers from the metal age were stunned by the elemental power of the explosion.
		To demonstrate well the eruption’s amplitude, the „voice” of the Krakatau was perceived inside a 4800 kilometres big circle, the Aegean eruption’s sudden energy blow could be overheard 6000 kilometres away on the Northern part of the Madagaskar-island or in Iceland.

	Santorini Archaelogical sites Akrotiri digs Ancient Thira archeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In the 4th century BC, the most important era in the history of the island, Ancient Thira was transformed into an Egyptian naval base with the installation there of a large garrison.
		Of the buildings that have been discovered, the public ones were constructed of dressed limestone blocks, a material found in abundance on the island, while private houses were made of small stones of irregular shape.
		This is because from the 5th century BC and afterwards, the development of ceramics in other region (Attica, Rhodes, Corinth, Ionia) and the location of Thira at a crossroads on trade routes made it easy for the island to accept the wares of potters of other regions, and so local production stagnated.
