I don't speak to you.

Rusa you giving us a wonderfull...

- Will dispower over us.

You tell us you know the gods will.

But, they don't speak to you!

Yishharu!

Yishharu!

Get down!

Where's Yishharu?

- I don't know.

One of the Minoans' most

powerful gods was the Earth Shaker.

And for good reason.

Structural damage uncovered on Thera

shows that around 1620 BC

they were exposed

to an enormous earthquake.

Measuring more than

seven on the Richter scale.

Their buildings were designed to

withstand minor tremors and quakes.

Thick timber frames had been

used to give them extra strength.

Until finally, this quake, strong

enough to shatter these stone steps,

set in motion an irreversible chain

of events for the people of Thera.

Stay still.

Hey, little lady.

Has your husband left you already?

You should try the temple.

He used to find his peace there.

Quick! Over here.

Is he all right?

Looks like he's alive.

Hold on, there's someone else.

We need to get this town back on it's feet.

All your messing around, married now,

it's going to stop.

It has.

It wasn't what it look like.

You expect your new wife to belive that.

What can I do, what can I say?

- Nothing!

Only you know why you went to the Templ.

Pinaruti only knows what she saw.

Or we also.

There is no excuse for you done.

Listen,

you think fight and damage

challenging bull is brave,

believe me,

marriage is the true test of courage.

Besides, father is important bussines ally,

not if she decides to divorce you.

A legal code discovered on Crete,

suggests that Minoan women

had more rights in marriage,

then an any other society at the time.

If they divorced, women were

in title to reclaim the dowry.

In cases of adultery, only the men

were punished.

Look, I only went to the temple

to get away from my father.

I didn't know she'd be there.

I don't want your excuses.

Everyone knows what you've

been doing with that woman.

Even your father jokes about it.

You've humiliated me, Yishharu.

I won't stand for it.

As soon as I knew she

was there, I told her...

You told her it was over.

I told her that...

- It was a goodbye.

Yeah, it was goodbye.

We need to restore normality

as soon as possible.

Get them back into their homes.

- It's too soon.

Their homes aren't safe yet.

The houses may be damaged, but

most of them are still standing.

The houses have been weakened.

We need to make them safe

before the people return.

And expect people to leave

everything behind for

thieves to steal?

Anything of value

can be safely stored.

In the basements

or under the door frames

where the buildings are strongest.

Then we seal up the doors.
