I’m surprised at the lack of mention so far of the Minoans, Crete and Santorini/Thera.
I’m convinced that Plato’s story of the lost continent that most folk today refer to as Atlantis was influenced by the Minoan civilisation.

Quote from website mentioned below:
“In this Timewatch special, historian Bettany Hughes unravels one of the most intriguing mysteries of all time.
She presents a series of geological, archaeological and historical clues to show that the legend of Atlantis was inspired by a real historical event - the greatest natural disaster of the ancient world.
She is tracing the origins of the Atlantis myth and presenting evidence that the Thera eruption inspired Plato's account of the mystical land.”
