Significant Find by the Israel Antiquities Authority

Yet there is nothing in Egyptian literature which indicates such an event or any change in the Egyptian mythology. I know that some nudniks - namely Simcha Jacobovici - have tried to shoehorn the much later Tempest Stele of Ahmose I into an eyewitness report of Thera but no one takes Jacobovici seriously.

Also, geography comes into play:




Carpathia and Rhodes would have shielded much of the Eastern Med from the tsunami. We know Crete caught hell and I imagine it was a tough day on Cythera and Melos but actual evidence for a significant impact on Egypt is hard to find.
