That's what brought me here,Barbara J. Sivertsen trying to link Thera to Exodus.Egyption Ptolemaic historian Menetho saidMoses story based on usurper Pharaoh Amenmesse around 1200BC which seems to be confirmed by Flavius Josephus who describesMoses contentious relationship with Pharaoh of his time way Egyptian records describe contest between Amenmesse&Seti II.Egyptian records describe Exodus type event during reign of Setnahkte about 15 years after Amenmesse disappeared from records.That would put Exodus about year 1186B.C. Scripture says Exodus occurred 430 years after regional famine brought Jacob to in egypt.If you go back 430 years from 1186B.C. your at 1616B.C. 1 of the proposed dates for Thera eruption is 1601bc to 1627bc.Excess sand and in ocean cores show regional Mediterranean famine at exactly that time,so it's more likely the Thera volcano responsible for what's known as Jacobs Famine in Genesis.

I found your information as a source while researching an old Reader's Digest World History book from the 1960s. The "Thira" Eruption they called it dated to sometime around 1500 BC and is thought to be the event that ended the Atlantis Civilization. At least that is the version of the story that I have on my lap :) Thanks for doing REAL history!!!

The eruption did not kill all the remaining Minoans on Crete, and only caused temporary devastation to the Minoan culture. For example, as Wikipedia says, "After the eruption, the Minoans [on Crete] quickly recovered, and the subsequent period is considered the zenith of Minoan culture." (Wikipedia) That most famous Minoan site on Crete, Knossos, what you see there is mainly post-eruption. The subsequent decline of the Minoan culture about 100-200 years after the eruption appears to be through conflict, not natural disaster.

The pumice of Thera shows up in Thutmoses III/Amenhotep II reigns in Egypt. This dates Thera eruption to the 1400s (1490s - 1420s). Are the Egyptian dates for these 2 Pharaohs TOTALLY WRONG or is the date for the Santorini eruption wrong? This is a difference of possibly 150 years from the radiocarbon dating of Thera eruption. 150 YEARS!!!!!

15. What did the 1600 B.C.E. Minoan eruption of Thera measure on the Richter Scale? 16. How did the eruption of Thera compare with that of Krakatoa? 17. What other ancient civilizations mention effects from the eruption of Thera? 18. How high into the sky did the ash cloud from the Thera eruption reach? 19. What is the estimated height of the tidal wave generated by the volcanic eruption that struck Crete? 20. What happened to the Minoans who fled Thera in boats before the main eruption?
