• Thera volcanic eruption of 1650-1628 BC -1450 BC caused tsunamis in the Aegean sea, destroyed Minoan fleet, leaving Crete open to mainland invaders; possibly the basis for the legend of the mythical Atlantis. Kevin Pang has suggested that this event might relate in some way to the start of the Chinese Shang dynasty.
