It's quite strange that almost exactly at the time these nomads appears, so does a notion of monotheism. The problem is what comes first, and which influences the latter. Is Akhenaten's religion the basis of Judaism? Or was it the reverse? If Akhenaten influenced the Jews, there would need to be some method by which these people adopted that idea, but they had already left egypt.
If the Jews "receive the torah" Aka, by Jewish accounts, this is the moment they accept a "Single God Supreme", then it's possible that sometime between the Amarna letters and the events described about the invasions of the nomadic hebrews the idea of a single god began to spread. That's all we really know. To what degree Moses standing before the Pharaoh and saying "OUR GOD IS SUPREME!" this influences Akhenaten to convert, we aren't sure. Later on, the sea peoples narrative starts to make sense too. Even the Eruption of Thera and the invasion of Doric peoples into Greece would make sense for an Archado-Cypriotic invasion of the levant. And the dissapearnace of their genetic markers would be contextualized through the lens that we understand "archado-cypriots" to be ethnically similar to Phoenecians, and other Semites.
