There is no record of it. It would be wonderful if there were some documentation of the Exodus. The Egyptians liked to brag about everything they did militarily, even if the campaign wasn't so great.

All perished when the Red Sea covered them. No Egyptian soldier was left to tell what happened, which suggests that the Pharaoh also perished. Exodous 14:28

There should be something along the lines of "The great Pharoah chased the Jews out of the country. The Gods were pleased with the cleansing of the country"

Something, anything. If there is a scroll, an inscription, anything in Egypt that suggests a couple million people took off, I would like to know about it.

There may be such a record in hieroglyphics, much of which is still untranslated, and some of which was destroyed by both man and nature.

Historically the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodous is thought to have been Amunhotep II, son of Thutmose III(18th Dynasty~1440BC) or Rameses II, son of Seti I(19th Dynasty~1290BC)...and now I see that Blam has found evidence of a 16th Dynasty possibility.

"and now I see that Blam has found evidence of a 16th Dynasty possibility."

A number of people believe there are errors in the Kings List. Most of the dating is dependent on this list.

A few other things I've read about the Exodus:

* Moses was 80 years old at the beginning of Exodus

* Most of the Jews who left on the Exodus died enroute.

* Archaeologists have dated charred wheat found above the Santorina ash layer (1628BC) but underneath the collapsed walls of Jerico.
