.....Moses led an estimated two million Israelite slaves out of pharaonic Egypt.....

Ha....

Although there may have been an Exodus, it was such a minor event it was not mentioned in Egyptian history. The Exodus probably involved a handful of people that crossed the marshes. It took them decades to multiply to the point they could attack and secure a significant piece of realestate.

???

Flawed Western logic.

Show me where ancient Egyptian history ever played up a crushing defeat?

Why would any ancient Egyptian historian point out that a Pharaoh was unable to maintain control over two million Hebrew slaves and lost his life in pursuit of them?

Especially when Modern Egyptians cannot even get the story of the six day war correct?

Please...

Think before you post.

You forget that the egpytians even attempted to delete their own pharao's, when they didn't like them anymore, out of the history acocunts. Do you think they would have made a whole informative show of how a bunch of slaves escaped their mighty empire? Besides, there is an account of a pharao who drowned in a 'whirl' while chasing 'the perpetrators' whith a group of chariots. Coincidentally, the place that was mentioned this took place was the same place as the Tora mentions as the crossing of the Red Sea! Also the shallowest bit of the Red Sea, may i add. Ofcourse maybe egyptian Pharaos regularly drowned in the same location of the Red Sea during a chariot chase? Who knows!
