No! There are no Egyptian records of the Exodus that have been found. The only evidence so far is circumstantial.
There are two possible theories to explain why there are no records.
+The one theory is that Egypt was under the rule of foreign rulers. the Hyskos, at the time of the exodus and records were not kept.
+The other possibility is that the exodus was so unimportant that it was not recorded by the Egyptians.
Kent Weeks, the archaeologist, has found the tomb KV 5, which contains the remains of Ramses' sons. It may be possible that one of the skulls is the Pharaoh's first born son who died in the plagues. But there is no written record of the exodus.

No.
However it does seem to dwell on mummies and such.
No doubt one of those mummies was the moron that would not let go of the Israelites.
I don't think that Egypt wants to think about being wiped off of the face of the Earth.
That is just about what happened.It was the most destroyed nation of all time.
Everytime that they get into it with Israel,they get thumped.
Modern history is replete with that truth.
I give you the years:1947,1953,1967 and 1973 as prime examples.

Would they fail to hush up a humiliating episode like that? You're kidding.
