Been here two times. It's an amazing site, and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Fira was incredible. The standout for me was the frescoes from the houses — they are breathtaking. The details on the fishermen are stunning.

And there is a gold ibex: "The figurine was discovered in 1999 CE in mint condition having been originally placed inside a wooden box within a clay chest. It is hollow and was made using the lost-wax technique. The legs, neck and tail were soldered on and finishing touches were added using a small hammer, indentations from which remain visible." It's something I think about weekly.

Worth going to Santorini just for the site and the museum.

p.s only roughly 5% of the site has been excavated, so lots more to learn

Was there anything that you found surprising when doing this reporting, and was there a difference in reporting on tech vs. other industries?

P.S. Really enjoyed Catch and Kill.

I once helped clean up after a festival in the UK—a relatively small venue that hosted around 10,000 people. It was incredible to see £450 tents, used for just three nights, simply abandoned. Among the most surprising finds were £300 Rab sleeping bags still in their original packaging (apparently the weather had been too warm to need them) and cash scattered across tent floors. Walking through the aftermath felt like browsing an outdoor gear store virtually anything you could want was there, barely used after just three days.

I was guessing, its water in a container with bomb bay like doors, when the payload is released the doors open and the water goes into some complex structure that takes the energy out of the water. but only a guess.
