Answer 1

This book is good on the excavations at Thera:
Pellegrino, Charles. Unearthing Atlantis An Archaeological Odyssey. New York: Random House., 1991
Spyridon Marinatos was key in discovering ancient cities there including Akrotiri.

Galanopoulos' works include: Galanopoulos, A. G.: 1957, The seismic sea wave of July 9, 1956, Prakt. Acad. Athenes 32, 90-101, Galanopoulos, A. G.: 1960, Tsunamis observed on the coasts of Greece from antiquity to present time, Annali de Geofisica X111, - 4), Rome, 371-386, and Galanopoulos, Angelos G. and Edward Bacon.

Answer 2

"Professor Angelos Galanopoulos, director of the Seismic laboratory, at the University of Athens also believes that Santorini is Atlantis. He says that Plato used a popular literary license and exaggerated the explosion date by a factor of ten. This puts it at 1490 BC, the same as the explosion date on Santorini. He also claims that Plato exaggerated the size of the island. Galanopoulos kept the metropolis the same size and superimposed a drawing from Plato’s description of a map of Santorini. It fit. Even though now underwater, the concentric circles described by Plato can still be seen.

Many archaeological findings about Santorini match what Edgar Cayce said about Atlantis. In 1967, Mavor’s expedition to Santorini led to an article in the New York Times Minoan City Found After 3,400 Years, is Linked to Atlantis. Edgar Cayce also predicted that in the 1960’s an attempt would be made to find Atlantis by changing its location and date.

Atlantis was supposed to be ruled by ten priest-kings. This matches the history of the civilizations on Santorini. Atlantis, like the Minoan civilization, was said to be a golden society, without war, poverty, crime, or hunger. Until, that is, visitors form outside came and corrupted society. Then the Atlantians set out to conquer the greatest military nation on earth. This was probably Greece. Unfortunately for them, they failed. But before they had given up the fight entirely, the island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Then, another came and sank it almost entirely, except for a crescent shaped fragment. What is now left of Santorini is a crescent shaped fragment."
