Regarding Sea Peoples

I have heard of some theories that tied the migrations of the sea
peoples to a natural event. The island of Thera (currently known as
Santorini) exploded in a vulcanic eruption around 1400(?)BC. Some
suggest that this was the origin of the Atlantis story - although Thera
is not outside of the Mediterranean and is only 1/10 the alleged size
of Atlantis.

In any case, it is possible that the eruption and subsequent tidal
waves (which would have been dramatic in the Mediterranean basin)
contributed to the destruction of the Minoan civilization and prompted
migrations of displaced populations.
