Gibt es in Ägypten schriftliche Quellen zum Thera-Ausbruch?

2013

Abstract

Some previous scholars have proposed to recognize allusions to the Thera eruption in some Ancient Egyptian texts, espe cially the so-called »Tempest Stela« of King Ahmose (i6th Cen tury B. C.). A detailed analysis of all text passages examined up to now shows that none ofthem can stand up to close scrutiny. There is no mention of the Thera eruption in Egyptian textual sources, and it is not even to be expected that any could befound.
