"I traveled to Crete and Sanotini back in '71 and had been aware of the impact that the Theran explosion had on the entire eastern Mediterranean. If this was in 1500BC, then the theory that it was partly responsible for some of the miracles [parting of the Red Sea] during Moses' age now need to be revised."

This event was a worldwide affecting event. The tree-rings world wide recorded an event at 1628BC+- which I believe provided all the plagues and fire-works for the Exodus. The plume would have had to be 30 miles high to have been seen in the Nile Valley, "Torch by night - Staff by day."
. The Pinatibo equption was 26 miles high and the recent Alaskan eruption was 34 miles high.

I've seen the "pillar of fire by night" and "column of smoke by day" around here when a big chunk of the Eastern Shore on the Delmarva Peninsula was in extreme drought and grass and brush fires raged all over the place.

Quite an interesting display. Consequently, if Thera were at all responsible for the effect seen by the Hebrews as they fled East, it must have been in the cooling effect that fostered the growth of grass in the Sinai which then burned.

That'd place Exodus at 2 or 3 years later than this event. Aftershocks could have been felt in the Nile Valley for half a decade ~
