What you have written about denying the eruption of Thera and your claimed non-existence of the Sea People is sheer nonsense. So, for the benefit of the other readers the following links will provide some interesting reading and illustrations. You can go ahead and wallow in the ignorance of your fantasy world.

Speaking of straw men, you’ve just constructed two: there was no supereruption of Thera (or “catastrophic eruption” as you put it, claiming it wasn’t the same thing but claiming the same effects for it) in historic times, there was however an eruption as late as 200 BC which covered up Akrotiri AS I’VE STATED ABOVE. The Sea People were not, as you claim, some kind of large alliance of otherwise unattested and unknown people all arriving and defeating a bunch of great kingdoms — AS I’VE STATED ABOVE that is a ridiculous fantasy made necessary by the conventional pseudochronology.

There are numerous topics on FR about Thera, no need to run off to other sites to find the delusional system that there was a supereruption there which brought about the end of the Minoan civilization — either 80 or 180 years later, as they must have it, since the (imaginary) supereruption and the termination of the Minoan civilization were not simultaneous.
