Ah - yep - the volcano musta killed them. Barbs can't do it, and none of the civs are expansionist. Only other possibility was that a warrior got popped from a hut with a city and the warrior went and took athens.
Can't be barbs as they don't destroy towns. I'll go with Marsdan's first suggestion; it must surely be a volcano.
The barb hut theory is a non-starter IMO. I don't know the map size you were playing but I can't imagine that the min distance was low enough for that series of events to happen by 3850BC. It's only three turns so the two AI capitals would have to be just 4 squares apart and I thought that the lowest of the min distances was 8 tiles on a Tiny map. Also even with popping a warrior from a hut. that would have to be some highly unusual activity for an AI to attack so early.
(You might get some additional thoughts through one of the more active forum areas.)

It'd have to be volcano. I can't think of another possibility.
I was thinking the barbs might have killed the settler, but AIs don't wander, do they? So the barbarians wouldn't have been able to destroy the town.
Maybe they settled in a swamp and the town sank?
