The problem with that is that those pharoahs reigned during Egypt's golden age and there is nothing recorded in Egypt during this time which bears the slightest resemblance to the events of the Exodus.

There is no record of famine, destruction of crops, massive destruction among cattle and other domestic animals, dreadful pollution of the Nile nor economic ruin of Egypt.

True. There weren't the type of building projects during the time of Rameses II which would have required the use of slave labor on the same scale as the building of the Pyramids. They weren't built by slaves either. The work was performed by entire villages of paid workmen living with their families during the period of the Nile flooding.

The problem with that is......

The Exodus probably did happen except that it was such a trivial event the Egyptian historians did not take note. Later writers embellished the event much as Bill Clinton is doing to his legacy today.
