I don't know if they did or not. I assume not, because we've been struggling to pinpoint the date of the eruption for some time, and an egyptian reference would pin it down.

The Theran eruption should have been visible to ancient Egypt, but the prevailing winds should have been been toward Canaan and parts east, so there may have been no real impact on Egypt at all.

The Theran eruption should have not only been visible but disrupted sea trade and the Minoans and impacted the climate. It's not every year that you see a huge pillar of flame and smoke on the horizon.
