Santorini was such a massive event that even across 3500 years some kind of partial historical record nearly has to remain of it, not just the almost certainly linked Atlantis legend.Try Exodus.

I've seen the History channel show proposing the Santorini / Exodus connection. It's VERY interesting although I'd like more detail (I'm working through their website and have added a book to my shopping list to try to learn more detail.) The Exodus story focuses on the consequences and leaves the details of how HE might have arranged this off stage. He seems to want his people to believe by free will and by faith so He hasn't provide a complete detailed undeniable proof either to the His audience then or to us now. Moses's followers believed, Pharoah chose denial. Modern audiences seem to want different kinds of evidence (fortunately less messy evidence) but are still offered a choice between faith and denial. Those with faith should expect to be provided with suggestive supporting evidence, but not with enough evidence for a rigorous scientific proof.
