Thera's Volcanic Eruption Challenged Bronze Age Beliefs

The darkness after the eruption disrupted weather, crops, for 20-25 years according to this article. The latest theory is that the Nebra sky disk and Stonehenge were both abandoned as a result of this event. Either the old beliefs were abandoned, or the disk was buried to placate the gods.  The Stonehenge abandonment was not the real point of the article, and you would not think abandoning it would placate the gods, but anyway the researchers seem to think the volcanic eruption explains the abandonment of Stonehenge, too. The eruption happened 3600 years ago.  This is given in the article as both the date the disk was made, and abandoned, which makes no sense. Still the pictures of the Nebra sky disk, and the ideas about it are fascinating. It is the earliest surviving picture of the sky, that has been found.
