Were The Ten Plagues of Egypt Associated With The Santorini Eruption?

The huge volcanic eruption that vaporized the Aegean island of Santorini/Thera caused the huge ash cloud and mega-tsunami that devastated much of the eastern Mediterranean, including the Minoans. Tree-ring data has shown that a large event interfering with normal tree growth in North America occurred during 1629–1628 (±65 years) BCE. Now, ice cores have nailed down the date to 1646 BCE.

Note that many other environmental disruptions would have accompanied this huge volcanic series of explosions.

Many have linked the biblical ten plagues of Egypt to this historical event. Though the Exodus of the Hebrews’ story occurred during the reign of Pharaoh Rameses the Second, who ruled between 1279BC and 1213BC, we need to remember that the Old Testament wasn’t recorded until most of the events described were past historical events that were, thus, largely oral history passed on from generation to generation. Stories of actual events became blended with one another creating a beautiful tapestry that, nonetheless, kept the moral essence vibrantly alive.
