I mean, yeah...people can make shit up...but Judah didn't get hit hard by Santorini, either.
Crete? Greece? Turkey? Different story.
Not having ash clouds blown over your head or tephra falling on your land doesn't mean not getting hit hard.
Santarini eruption was comparable in magnitude to the 1814 eruption of mt. Tambora in Indonesia. The global climactic effects of tambora eruption, half a world away from Egypt, caused some of the worst famine in egypt's recorded history.
Certainly santorini eruption has the capacity to totally screw up season, rainfall, temperature, flood pattern , and cause dramatic visual changes like color of sky and sunset, in Egypt in the following few years.
