    Santorini Explosion

    The Santorini Explosion caused the sun to go black, known as the Great Raash by the Hebrews. It displaced the Sea Peoples from their home and caused a famine, so the Sea Peoples began raiding other countries, displacing Nubians and Libyans into Egypt to begin the 22nd, 23rd, and 21st (Tanite) dynasties. This happened in 765 B.C.
