They must have been in Egypt to have experienced the fallout but to have not seen the volcano. Saying it's all myth is as bad as a Christian saying it's all the actual word of God. It's more complex than either or.
Interesting. Three sentences before you deride the Christian's common practice of offering up certainty for something unprovable, you do the same thing regarding the plagues.
(I hope I didn't just defend Christianity there. Yikes.)
