I have been working on this idea myself (idea originated with Mike Baillie) for the last few years trying to connect 'tidbits' of information to this Exodus event. The 1628BC explosion of Santorini/akatori/Thera, in my opinion, provided all the fireworks for the Exodus saga.
Freeper LostTribe and I have been fussing about the 1628BC date for the Exodus for a couple of years now. He subscribes to a less ancient date.

1. The ash from Santorini has been found all over Egypt.

2. The Red Sea was landlocked during the Ice Age, go here and see that it is so and that the Persian Gulf was completely dry, another 'flood story?'
Earthquakes or tidal waves from Santorini could have breached the dam seperating the Red Sea from the world's oceans and swept the Egyptians away.The Red Sea was reconnected at some point, why not then?

3. One account has Santorini erupting due to an asteroid/comet impact

4. The bibical 'staff by day, torch by night' quote could be from the erupting plume of Santorini. The plume would need to be thirty miles high to be seen in Egypt. The recent Pinatubo volcano was 26 miles high.

5. The rubble from the destruction of Jerico is appropriately dated (charred wheat) just above the Santorini ash layer.

There are other 'tidbits' that I cannot remember presently but will add later on to the thread if/as I remember them.
