The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The theory of a volcano eruption destroying Crete shown to be incorrect by using scientific methods to date key events.

Historians have been researching on the destruction of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, Greece. There have been many theories but the general idea is that the Minions were affected by the eruption of the Santorini volcano, approximately 3,500 years ago. The key point of the new investigations is trying to explain the correlation between the volcanic explosion and the total destruction of the Minoans. Using scientific methods to date key events, scientists are questioning the original date of the eruption, 1450 BV, and now scientists believe than the explosion could have happened around 1628.
