 Higgaion » The Exodus Decoded: An extended review, part 6
1500 BCE is also 14–25 years after Ahmose’s death and 23–46 years after the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt (the dates here must be given in ranges to acknowledge the debates over the “high,” “middle,” and “low” chronologies for the 18th dynasty).
But that does not mean that Thera erupted around 1500 BCE, because the pumice traveled to Egypt across the Mediterranean Sea and was subsequently collected and moved from its original point(s) of landfall.
The first five parts of this extended review showed how the proposed “evidence” for dating the exodus around 1500 BCE fails, and this one has addressed the synchronism of the Santorini eruption, which belongs more than a century before Jacobovici’s proposed date.

Worth noting though, is that Goldstein _never_ makes the observation that 1528 BCE falls within the reign Ahmose I who expelled the Hyksos, in fact, he does not attempt to identify what Pharaoh this date aligns with because his major focus is in refuting the notion of an Exodus ca.

CHAPTER TWO - DEVELOPMENT OF Around 1500 BCE (some historians argue even earlier), Aryan tribes came through the Khyber Pass and moved into the Indus river valley; this was part of the larger Indo-European movement from the west.
Following 1500 BCE, the evolving culture in the Indus Valley and the rest of the sub-continent reflected the merging of two traditions - the earlier legacies of the Indus civilization carried on by the Dravidian inhabitants blended with the new ideas, beliefs, and language brought in by the Aryans.
The period between 1500 - 300's BCE was in fact a critical, formative period during which two populations and cultures blended - forming the bases of traditional Indian culture as we know it today.

 Ancient Scripts: Cypriot
While the earliest examples dating from as early as 1500 BCE cannot be read, comparisons clearly show that the Cypriot syllabary seemed to have derived from Linear A, and therefore is like a sibling to Linear B.
For this reason, sometimes the script at this very early stage is called Cypro-Minoan, to distinguish it from the Cypriot script used for writing Greek after the 12th century BCE.
According to tradition, Greek settlers colonized Cyprus around the 12th century BCE, and they likely adopted the Cypro-Minoan script for their own use.
