    There seems to be growing evidence that Crete was subject to a massive tsunami around the end of the Minoan civilization. Observations of the aftermath of the Indonesian tsunami in 2005 have contributed a great deal of understanding to what places that have been so affected look like.

    Anyway, Timewatch has put together an episode on the current findings, with what looks like plenty of reenactments. It will air tonight at 8:00 PM in Britain.

    For everybody else, there is an article here with a short clip of some animation of the wave hitting Palaikastro.
