Kallikantzaroi - Christmas Trolls

Kallikantzaroi

These mythical, goblins like spirits are said to pop up between Christ's birthday and Epiphany on Jan. 6th. Between these days they devote their time to wreaking their unique brand of havoc.

The Kallikantzaroi cause mischief, they intimidate people, urinate in flower beds, spoil food, tip things over and break furniture!

The Kallikantzaroi are of Greek origin.

History's Mysteries: The Lost Minoans

The Lost Minoans

On the Greek island of Crete once lived a great civilisation known as the Minoans. This civilisation is probably best to remember for its legends of Theseus and the Minotaur.
The civilisation flourished more than 5000 years ago, but after a volcanic eruption on the neighbouring Thera Island, the civilisation declined and was wiped out 50 years later.
It is not known what ended this thriving civilisation, but theories include volcanic ash, devastated croplands, and invasion of Greek armies
