I have also thought that the 1450 destruction of the Minoans may have been part of crop failures and other disruptions by the vulcanism I want more information on. This would have caused freebooting and invasions by hungry people.
I have some info in a book, I'll go see if I can dig it out.
New Ice-Core Evidence Challenges the 1620s age for the Santorini (Minoan) Eruption

I picked up a video at the library on the Exodus. It was pretty stunning. The thesis of this was that the parting of the sea actually was on the other side of Saudi Arabia.
It also showed some underwater photography of chariot wreckage and from the wheel design it could be dated back to Moses time. Most of the wheels where encrusted with coral but there was one that was brass plated that was very well preserved.
This is all in Mussie land so it is unlikely that permission will ever be granted to examine it closer. Probably if you picked anything up from under the sea you'd be shot immediately or worse.
Also the underwater geography make it so that there is a shallow 'walkway' exactly where you could walk across. Also the description of the land fits the bible to a tee.
I guess it is obvious that I thought it was convincing.

Think about the coral formations -- the claim is that just the wheels and axle survived, set on one end, while the body of the chariots rotted away, and then got covered in coral.
