Removed unclear and apparently unsourced statement

[edit]

Took out the section below. It gives three references, but at least the second and third ones which I can access make no reference to the papyrus (or any papyrus). . The claim that "the papyrus is linked" to an eruption in the early 1600s BCE makes little sense in a papyrus dated to the mid 1300s or would at least require some significant clarifications - what is linked? The text itself makes reference to Amenhotep III in several places (mid 1300s), and the German Wikipedia article for the papyrus gives 1350 as a date, citing Westendorf. If you would like to put the section below back, please clarify what "linked" was supposed to mean and cite only references that establish such a link. Thanks!

The papyrus is linked to fallout from the Bronze Age Santorini volcanic eruption, also referred to as the Minoan eruption, dated to 1629–1628 BCE.[1][2][3]
