Genesis

:22:01

a city buried by the cataclysm-

:22:04

the home of the Minoans
of Thera- Akrotiri.

:22:11

ln these ruins of this
extraordinary civilization

:22:14

many find the source of one
of the world's great legends-

:22:18

of a magnificent civilization
which disappeared into the sea-

:22:23

of a lost continent
which Plato called Atlantis.

:22:55

The tectonic process continues

:22:58

and from the center
of the caldera

:23:00

the volcano rises again,
building a new Thera to destroy.

:23:05

This shattered island
remain a mounment

:23:08

not to the wrathful power
of Minoan gods

:23:11

but to the power
of Earth's tectonic forces

:23:15

over the course
of human history.

:23:29

A third tectonic process occurs

:23:31

when continent collides
with continent

:23:35

Neither of these great plates
is driven to destruction

:23:38

in the heavier,
underlying mantle.

:23:40

insteadm they override
and compress with titanic force

:23:45

pleating huge rock strata
into accordion folds

:23:49

heaving them up

:23:51

driving enormous mountains
into the sky.
