Archaeologists believe that a huge volcanic eruption on the island of Thera, possibly with an accompanying earthquake and tsunami, caused devastation in Crete. This could have reduced the prosperity of the Minoans, as well as weakening their ability to defend themselves, as they were either invaded or otherwise taken under the influence of Mycenaeans from Greece in the late 15th century BC.
