Quote:Then there's the idea that the plagues of Egypt were the result of the Santorini eruption.
Problem there is that a) Santorini has been triangulated by ice core evidence, dendrochronology and c14 dating to 1628 BC, and b) Egypt suffered only a mild direct impact from Santorini as the ash cloud was blown to the North East - bad day to be in Anatolia or the Greek Islands - but other than some tsunami effects on the coast Egypt was in the clear.
