I don’t have time to read all the links tonight, but have long thought that Egypt was influenced by something other that the Santorini vulcanism. My guess was the major eruption of Mt. Etna of 1,500 BC +- 50 years. I have been unable to find very much info on this eruption.
However, I have also discovered in more recent periods of volcanic activity that there may be several major actions around a tectonic plate within a short period of time, and perhaps this is what happened here. Look forward to delving more deeply into this interesting link. Thanks again SunkenCiv.
Scientific Evidence Supporting A Pole Shift - In December of 1985 the discovery of volcanic ash twenty feet underground in the Nile delta was found to be identical to the ash from an enormous eruption approximately 3,500 years ago on the Greek island of Santorini. This discovery proves that the effects of the eruption (22,000 times greater than the effect of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima) reached as far as Egypt and supports a theory (presented in chapters two and eight of Noone's book) linking the eruption to the seemingly miraculous events associated with the biblical Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. -- (refers to Richard Noone's 5/5/2000)
