Good question. I was wondering that too...
Another one you may want to ask is if there was any proof of a Jewish enslavement during the time of Ramses. And, what happened to those people?

Edit 1
Complex-what are your sources? I would be interested in studying them sometime myself.

Actually the people of Egypt know very well of the history of the Egyptians and of Israel and the prophet Moses. 400 thousand Jewish people lived in Egypt as late as 2000 years ago. The Egyptians reverence of Moses is very intact until this time.
There is a great collection of artifacts that also atest to the Jewish history in Egypt as well and also at the location of the crossing of the red Sea there have been located under water remains of the chariots that were destroyed.
History is worth studying.

There is no account of Moses, parting the Red Sea, the flood, Joseph, the Hebrews or any other bible story in Egyptian history.

See the ipuwar papyrus in Leiden. even with each and everything the destruction and mayhem that preceded the parting of the sea and the form itself, there possibly weren't very many left to checklist something. that's stated that Egypt entered right into somewhat a gloomy Age acceptable around the time the Exodus surpassed off....it there any contemplate whether a intense proportion of the inhabitants, which incorporate various the army replaced into destroyed and the rustic emptied of its wealth?

I know there have been archaeological findings that prove that the children of Israel existed in Egypt (hieroglyphs, structures, remains of their way of life), but I think the crossing of the Red Sea would be a rather hard event to document; or just something the Egyptians would rather forget....(taking into consideration Pharaoh's entire army was obliterated.....). But here are some links, (although a bit lengthy), that might help you out.

Good luck!

PS. I like Thomas A's answer....

2nd intermediate period (1640-1550 B.C.) This is another period of anarchy, this time caused by the high floods of the Nile. During this period, a group called the Hyksos was able to invade Egypt and rule it for a time. It is believed that the Hebrews were able to enter Egypt at this time.
New Kingdom (1550-1070 B.C.) This was a stable time period, full of military expansion. This was also the time that the Temple of Karnak and The Valley of the Kings were built. It is also believed that this is when the Hebrew slaves were able to escape Egypt under the rule of Ramses II.

No accounts of them even being there.

What is even worse is attributing the story to Ramses. He certainly wouldn't have been judged so powerful by history if he had presided over an insurrection that was lost.

any Egyptian that could have written about it died in the Red Sea. The ones that were left were too ashamed to have been beaten down by what they considered to be an inferior race, so they swept it under the rug, so to speak.

this isn't about Moses, but BBC did a documentary on Joseph and a lot of stuff was uncovered in Egypt. Check it out. Pretty cool!!! BBC religion--Joseph.

Yep. Just find the translations of the hieroglyphics of the pharaoh that took the place of the one that drowned.
