There is a ton of archaeological evidence to support the Biblical stories that continue to be discovered in the regions where the historical events of the BIble occurred. See the link below for just a sampling of some of the evidence.

Or here’s a thought: the entire story is mythological and not meant to be taken literally. We might as well wonder how big was the lion killed by Herakles or what kind of wood the Trojan horse was made out of.
People waste valuable time trying to figure out causes for events that did not actually take place. There is no evidence whatsoever for the ancestors of the Jewish people being in captivity in Egypt, nor any evidence for a 40-year sojourn in the Sinai desert, nor for the conquest of Canaan. Read the stories for their literary merit, not as actual history.

Further support can be found in the Bible stating that the Hebrews followed a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night, possibly evidence of the connection with this huge eruption.

The wind did not “part” the Red Sea. What actually happened was the volcano at Thira (Santorini) exploding. The massive seismic event caused by this explosion pushed the Red Sea down the gulf rather than actually parting it. The sea “retreated” as it it often does during earthquakes and came back later with a vengence destroying Pharoahs army.

The ongoing eruption at Thira prior to the cataclysmic explosion would also explain many of the ‘plagues’ which occured in Egypt prior to the Red Sea incident..

OF COURSE, HOW STUPID TO THINK THAT MILLIONS OF HEBREWS LADEN WITH THEIR BELONGINGS PLUS LIVESTOCK AND GRAIN JUST HAPPENED TO BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND THAT THIS “WIND” BLEW AN EXACT PATH ACROSS THE SEA FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER, LEAVING THE GROUND TOTALLY DRY,AND THAT AS SOON AS ALL THE HEBREWS CROSSED THE WIND JUST DIED AND THE CHASING EGYPTIANS DROWNED.?????
IT WASN’T MOSES THAT PARTED THE WAVES, IT WAS GOD USING MOSES AND HIS STAFF AS INSTRUMENTS OF GOD’S POWER.
