## Contribution

It proposes a new chronological framework connecting Thera's eruption to biblical and Egyptian timelines, accounting for chaos and foreign rule effects.

## Key findings

- Thera eruption dated to 1627-1600 BC by C14.
- Chaos from the eruption distorted traditional chronologies.
- Accounting for foreign domination aligns Egyptian and Israelite timelines.

## Abstract

The Exodus was causally connected to the eruption of Thera. The time of this geological event is determined by C14 dating as 1627-1600 BC. The chaos that followed this catastrophe led to upheavals which distorted the chronologies. Taking periods of foreign domination into account leads to an agreement between the chronologies of Egypt and Israel.   -----   Der Exodus wurde durch den Ausbruch von Thera ermoeglicht, welcher als geologisches Ereignis durch C14 Datierungen auf die Zeit 1627-1600 BC festgelegt ist. Das durch die Katastrophe bewirkte Chaos fuerte zu Umwaelzungen, welche die Chronologien verzerrten. Die Beruecksichtigung der Zeiten der Fremdherrschaft fuehrt zu einer Uebereinstimmung der aegyptischen und israelischen Chronologien.
