| Minoan eruption of Thera releases 24 cubic miles of debris and destroys the nearly circular caldera already present. Some speculate that this could have been the seed for the stories of Atlantis. Others speculate that this eruption triggered the plagues of Egypt as mentioned in the Bible. Exact dating remains questioned, and the VEI is estimated at 7. | Minoan eruption of Thera releases 24 cubic miles of debris and destroys the nearly circular caldera already present.

| Linked to a 1500 year climate cycle, the oscillation was first identified by Swiss botanist Heinrich Zoller. This was a pulse of freezing temperatures not quite as bad as the Younger Dryas event, but still significant, none-the-less. Most scientists apparently agree that the "6.2 kiloyear event" (as it's more commonly called) is linked to a meltwater pulse that threw off the thermohaline current. | Linked to a 1500 year climate cycle, the oscillation was first identified by Swiss botanist Heinrich Zoller.
