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?

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.

That's kind of a dodge. Something as massive and world-shattering as a global flood is not likely to be told of in metaphor.
