-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
Prehistoric museum of Thera, Fira
The unique Prehistoric Museum of Thera can be considered an extension of Akrotiri's archaeological site, since it houses the frescoes and artifacts of this ancient great urban center.
Santorini | Museum Οf Prehistoric Thera
Santorini is one of the oldest continuously-inhabited islands on the whole Mediterranean Sea, with a history going back to before 3,000 BC. You can view some of the amazingly ancient artifacts at the Thera Prehistoric Museum.
This museum is often confused with the Akrotiti archaeological museum, which also contains finds from prehistoric times. The Thera Prehistoric Museum is conveniently located in Fira, the main town of Santorini, so if you're staying in the town, no special trip is needed.

Santorini: The Prehistoric Museum at Fira
An eruption dated to 1540 B.C. destroyed Thera (now Santorini) cratering out the island, leaving The Caldera, or cauldron. The Minoan settlement at Akrotiri was covered in pumice. This is where the oldest frescoes in the world were found.
The Large Ship fresco, which was under restoration, depicts a naval battle, city walls, human figures, landscape, fish, and animals. The scene may be a representation of a seasonal maritime festival or even a scene from a lost epic poem.
The wall painting of The Blue Monkeys, showing them climbing rocks in an effort to escape two dogs, is dated from 1700 B.C.
The Fisherman” (1650 BC) has a partially shaved head, dyed blue, giving an offering of fish, likely performing a religious ritual.
These frescoes, along with the three that follow, on display in The National Archaeological Museum in Athens, were also found at Akrotiri.
This fresco is the first example of landscape painting, along with spritely gazelles and well-heeled boxers.
SANTORINI ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM FIRA
A Fine Collection of Exhibits
While many outstanding archaeological finds from Santorini will be found at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the Historical and Cultural Archaeological Museum of Santorini in Fira contains artifacts from excavations on the island ...
It was built in 1960 by the Ministry of Public Works in order to replace the old museum (built in 1902), that had collapsed during the earthquake of 1956.
Noteworthy are a fine collection of geometric red and black vases from the fifth century BC Inscriptions are plentiful among the displays in the museum and a certain amount of Minoan ware is also on exhibit.
The museum also hosts impressive frescoes as well as sculptures of the Hellenistic period, Byzantine works of art and even some remains of prehistoric times.

Museum of Prehistoric THERA(Santorini)
Museum of prehistoric Thera
Museo de Prehistoria de Thera (Santorini, Grecia) - Museum of Prehistoric Thera
Museo de Prehistoria de Thera (Santorini, Grecia) - Museum of Prehistoric Thera,
El poblado prehistórico de Akrotiri es una de las más antiguas y más importantes centros urbanos del mar Egeo, por lo que, en términos de importancia, el Museo de Prehistoria Thera se considera igual a la Acrópolis y a los museos Vergina.
Pequeño pero conciso, bien estructurado, el museo ofrece un viaje en el tiempo único en el pasado lejano de Santorini, en Grecia y ayuda al visitante a descubrir, paso tras paso, la continuidad y el progreso de la civilización de Thera a través de los siglos.
Habitado desde al menos mediados del V milenio a.C., fue en el III milenio a.C. cuando Akrotiri pasó de ser una aldea de pescadores a un notable poblado en la costa. A pocos metros de la entrada del Museo, las figuras de mármol y los jarrones de pie que encontramos nos recuerdan el papel activo que desempeñó Thera, no sólo en la civilización cicládica temprana, sino en la zona del mar Egeo en general.
Después de eso, las habitaciones de al lado no nos van a sorprender, pero sí sorprende el alto nivel de desarrollo alcanzado en el siglo XVII a.C. cuando se convirtió en un puerto comercial. El pueblo de Thera inventó sus propias formas de medición de la calidad, la propiedad y la procedencia de los productos básicos. Jarrones en formas estandarizadas y decoraciones, amplia gama de contrapesos de equilibrado de plomo, sellos en los vasos con los productos que llegaban de Creta, todos ellos nos hacen imaginar lo que debe de haber sido ser un comerciante en aquella época.
The Museum of Prehistoric Thira houses finds from the excavations at Akrotiri, conducted under the auspices of the Archaeological Society at Athens, the earlier excavations at Potamos made by members of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens, and rescue excavations at various other sites on the island, which were carried out by the 21st Ephorate of Antiquities for the Cyclades and Samos. Also on display are other objects discovered fortuitously or handed over.
The exhibition is structured in four units, referring to the history of research at Thira, the geology of Thira, the island's history from the Late Neolithic to the Late Cycladic I period (early 17th century BC) and the heyday of the city at Akrotiri (mature Late Cycladic 1 period, 17th century BC).
In the last unit, various aspects are presented, such as the plan and architecture of the city and its organization as an urban centre, the emergent bureaucratic system, the development of the monumental art of wall painting, the rich and diverse pottery repertoire, the elegant jewellery, the reciprocal influences between vase painting and wall painting, and the city's and island's complex network of contacts with the outside word.
The exhibits include fossils of plants that flourished before the human habitation of Thira as well as archeological objects.
Among the Earliest Pieces are :
- Neolithic pottery, Early Cycladic marble figurines, Early Cycladic pottery, including interesting pieces of the transitional phase from Late Cycladic II to Late Cycladic III period (Kastri group) from the Christiana islands and Akrotiri (3300-2000 BC)
- Middle Cycladic pottery with a series of impressive bird jugs, many of them decorated with swallows from Ftellos, Megalochori and Akrotiri (18th-20th century BC)
- Early Cycladic metal artefacts from the last two sites.
Noteworthy among the numerous exhibits from the period when the city at Akrotiri was at its zenith (17th century BC) are the plaster casts of furniture, the household equipment, the bronze vessels, tools and weapons, the objects that bear witness to the practice of metalworking, the sealings, seals and Linear A tablets.
Impressive too are the magnificent wall painting ensembles (wall painting of Ladies and Papyri, wall painting of the Blue Monkeys) and fragments of others (the African, Adorant Monkeys, Bird, floral motifs).
Last, there are numerous and luxurious clay vases including the remarkable pithos with the bull, vases of stone and of clay imported from different parts of the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, and the gold ibex figurine, a remarkable recent find.
The exhibition endeavours to sketch the course of Thira in prehistoric times, through selected finds from the thousands in the storerooms. This was a dynamic and creative course which established the city at Akrotiri as one of the most important Aegean centers during the 18th & 17th centuries BC.
Cyclades Islands in 4K, part 1 - Santorini (Firá, Museum of Prehistoric Thera), Greece
W skład archipelagu Cyklady wchodzi około 220 wysp i wysepek rozsianych na Morzu Egejskim. My odwiedzimy 8 najpopularniejszych wysp: Santorini, Naxos, Paros, Delos, Mykonos oraz Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni i Thirasia. Jak wyglądało nasze zwiedzanie Cyklad pokaże cykl filmów, których tytuły będą zaczynać się od Cyclades Islands in 4K - . Z lotniska Santorini udajemy się do naszego hotelu i po zakwaterowaniu zaczynamy zwiedzać Santorini. Wyspa Santorini (Thira, Santoryn) uważana jest za jedno z najpiękniejszych i najbardziej romantycznych miejsc na ziemi. Stolicą wyspy jest Firá i tam udajemy się w pierwszej kolejności. Do Starego Portu można dostać się idąc zygzakowatą drogą, którą też chodzą osiołki i muły wożące turystów. My do portu bez problemu udajemy się kolejką gondolową. Na filmie widać jednak jak wkrótce utworzyła się gigantyczna kolejka do kas biletowych. Dość powszechnie przyjmuje się, że Santorini to legendarna Atlantyda. Świadczyć mają o tym ruiny prehistorycznego miasta Akrotiri, zniszczonego przez wybuch wulkanu pod koniec XVII wieku p.n.e. Podobnie jak ruiny Pompei, szczątki minojskiego miasteczka są wyjątkowo dobrze zachowane, są jednak starsze aż o 1600 lat. Zanim udamy się do Akrotiri wcześniej oglądamy eksponaty tam wykopane, które znajdują się w Muzeum Prehistorii Thiry w Firá.

ISLAND of SANTORINI: EXPLORING the MUSEUM OF PRE-HISTORY (2000BC), GREECE
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a tour around this beautiful museum located in the capital of the Greek island of Santorini and let's admire the displays of items that were used and made by the Greeks over 2000 years before the birth of Christ, amazing!! Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Santorini (Greek: Σαντορίνη) or Thera (English pronunciation and officially Thira (Greek: Θήρα), is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece's mainland.
Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.
