Dr Iain Stewart describes the theory that a volcano-triggered tsunami was the inspiration for the Bible story of God parting the Red Sea to save Moses and his Hebrew followers. There was a massive eruption at Santorini 3,500 years ago - around the same time that Moses and his followers fled slavery in Egypt, according to some scholars. If Moses really traveled through an area east of the Nile Delta once called the Reed Sea, as some experts believe, a volcano-triggered tsunami in the Mediterranean may have first drained away the water and then flooded the coast, drowning the pursuing pharaoh’s army.

Tsunami’s they are the smoking gun of history!

Except that the Sinai is in the way of any tsunami.
