Many different cultures (Native Americans to Chinese) have global flood accounts as part of their oral tradition. Explain that fact.

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?

I think that Occam's Razor applies here. You have multiple cultures who lived near places prone to flooding with global flood stories. Which is easier to believe? That they just happened to all come up with the same global flood story simply because they lived near an area that was prone to flooding and few of the inhabitants had a chance to go elsewhere to confirm that, in fact, it didn't flood all over the world or that some 4000 (or more or less) years ago the God of the Old Testament sent rain for 40 days and 40 nights, wiped out all living things except for one male and one female of each species except for humans (of which an entire family survived, from whom we descended to this day) and fundamentally changed the properties of the planet and its geology?

Really, I think that the obvious choice is clear. Unless you're a commie hippe atheist liberal.

Not sure there isnt. They do have a water God. Reading about him leads you to different kinds of stories about floods. Beyond that though there are other cultures that record it.
People will view the historical records along with the myths and legends from different peoples at the time as support of the Biblical flood.
I guess it depends on your perspective.

Nice dodge. Most cultures have a global flood account that is approx. 80% similar. You know. A guy in a big boat with lots of animals. And most cultures at that time didn't like Hebrews or Hebrew 'myths'.

Concerning Egyptian records, how many kings and cities have been swept away by the desert sands? Your asking me to disprove a negative. (i.e. Why is something not there?) I'm not taking the bait.

Do Egyptian records tell anything about the Hebrews that lived among them?

Joseph? Moses? ???
