That doesn't weaken my point. If anything, it strengthens it. Do you expect papyrus to survive a year-long submersion.
Secondly, what papyrus? What are you talking about?
We have examples of writings on papyrus used by the Egyptians going back to close to 4000 BCE.
The Egyptians were prolific record-keeper. We have more or less an unbroken series of writings from around 4000 BCE until today. It is interesting that the Egyptians never mentioned the occurence of a global flood.
Are you talking about the Torah Scroll from which the story of Creation and the Flood come?
Does that Torah Scroll still exist and how old is it?
First of all, the rains fell for forty days and forty nights. The actual Flood lasted for a solar year. It might pay to actually read the text you are debunking.

I still don't understand what this "papyrus" was that you keep raving about. What was it, an ancient romance novel or something?

Bully for you.

Did they mention that a bunch of slaves once kicked their sorry @$$es and drowned them in the Red Sea?

Torah Scrolls are organic and eventually decay, at which point they have to be buried in a Jewish cemetery, next to the grave of a pious sage. But the original Torah Scroll exists in every kosher Torah Scroll in existence, which is written according to the strictest set of laws in existence to assure that each and every one is an exact duplicate of the original dictated by HaShem to Moses.
Besides, if the original Scroll still existed wouldn't you simply point out that it was written after the fact and is therefore unreliable?
Interesting that nothing in the Bible can be accepted without outside corroboration while things written by ancient pagans are accepted on faith.
