A series of six Chronicle programmes about the application of scientific research to the problems of solving the secrets of prehistory.
3: The Ashes of Atlantis
Introduced by Magnus Magnusson Excavations on Santorini - a volcanic island 60 miles north of Crete in the Aegean-have revealed a Minoan city buried, like Pompeii, under a preserving mantle of volcanic ash. Does it hold the clue to Atlantis - Plato's legend of a lost idyllic land? Chronicle cameras try to find the answer.
