If you simply want to spout off and not be questioned on it you are in the wrong place.
Egypt was not particularly hard hit by Santorini. Portions of the coast which were not shielded by Mediterranean Islands probably caught hell from tsunamis but the ash cloud went to the North East ( Turkey ) and if you would bother to consult a map of the Aegean you would see that it would have been a bad day to be on Crete or the Dodecanese Islands or Rhodes or the Greek Peloponnese, and you wouldn't want to inhale too deeply in SW Turkey.
You know, we actually do have a pretty sound basis for Egyptian history which does not rely at all on fucking bible fairy tales. C. 1620 Egypt was ruled by the Hyksos who were actually Canaanites ( although nothing suggests that they were in the least bit "Jewish" ) and they ran the northern part of the country. They were not slaves. It is possible that the damage sustained by their trading partners in the Aegean and Levant as a result of Santorini enabled the rulers of the southern part of Egypt to begin a successful revolt. Oddly....or perhaps not so oddly depending on your point of view... the Egyptian leader who threw them out was Ahmose I. ( Take a good look at that name, btw. ) However, Ahmose laid siege to the Hyksos capitol Avaris for 3 years so, if anyone was saying "Let My People Go" it would have been Ahmose saying " GO! GTFO!" Inscriptions indicate that after taking Avaris, Ahmose chased the Hyksos back into Canaan and crushed them at Sharuhen. This initiated a 400 year Egyptian domination of Canaan which the bible omits! Ahmose, as founder of the 18th dynasty is generally dated to about 1550 BC or so.
There is no room for any "Hebrews" in this history. In fact, modern archaeology now understands that the groups which later became "Israel" and "Judah" developed at the beginning of the Iron Age in the aftermath of the Sea People devastation of the region.
I suggest you read "The Bible Unearthed" by Israel Finkelstein and/or "Who Were The Early Israelites...." by William Dever. Then, throw your bible in the trash.
