Why dont you study a little egyptian history and maybe you will find the tale of the red sea from the pharohs side. this isnt only in the bible the egyptians also wrote about it.
There are some people who claim to have found correlations betwen Egyptian records and the Bible, but the claimed correlations require such tortuous reworking of known dates that few find them believeable. The mainstream view is that none of the events of Exodus are recorded outside the Bible.
From Egypt & the Wanderings:
quote:
For all the momentousness of the events of the migration for the Hebrews and the dramatic nature of the rescue, including plagues and catastrophes raining down on Egypt, the Egyptians do not seem to have noticed the Hebrews or to even know that they were living in their country. While we have several Egyptian records of foreign groups during the New Kingdom, they are records of actively expelling groups they feel are threatening or overly powerful. The Hebrews never appear in these records, nor do any of the events recounted in the Hebrew history of the event.
Or, from An Anthropologist Looks at the Judeo-Christian Scriptures:
quote:
Egyptian records do not document the existence of biblical events such as the Exodus or wars of conquest by the Hebrews in Canaan. Such silence about events on as grand a scale as those reported in the Hebrew scriptures would be surprising if the biblical account is accurate. This has led most contemporary scholars to view the biblical version of events as retrospective glorification of the roots of the Monarchy, as legend rather than history.
