Someone posted a while ago that we have written records from Egyptian pharaohs who lived at about the same time as the supposed flood. Yet, none of them mention anything about such a deluge. No one has explained that, either.

Many different cultures (Native Americans to Chinese) have global flood accounts as part of their oral tradition. Explain that fact.
"Someone posted a while ago..." Talk about peer-review.
easy: until the advent of mechanical transport, most people lived and died within 30miles of the place where they were born. A local flood to such an isolated primitive would indeed seem to be a world-drowner. Add generations of the "telephone game" effect as oral traditions are handed down, and a piddly little flood gets built up into Oroborus Eats The World.
Moreover, 15,000 years or so ago, there WAS a massive global flood which inundated the coastlines of all the continents, raising the sea-level an hundred or more feet, drowning miles and miles and miles of coastal plain... where most folks lived... in a relatively sudden flood. This flood was accompanied by massive climatic shifts and widespread torrential rains. These rains swept the Sahara on-and-off for decades, as an example.
We call it "the end of the last glacial period"
Primitive cultures live and die by what the rivers around them do. Pretty much all early agrarian cultures arose around rivers. It's not surprising that stories about terrible floods are common.
The Egyptians kept detailed written records of pretty much everything that went on in their kingdom. By 2500 BC, the Old Kingdom was in full swing. And yet, there is no mention in Egyptian records of any global flood. How do you explain that?
