The Egyptians were pretty good "record keepers" in their time.?

Question

An Egyptian border guard recorded watching two Hebrews try and escape "over the wall" in one instance, which shows how vigilant those Egyptians were. So how come they TOTALLY missed recording the mass escape of 600,000 Israelites in the Exodus. A 200-mile long crowd of people "on the run" and no-one thought it worthy of mention?

Answer 1

did you also notice -- NOT ONE contemporary of the jesus-myth wrote about him. not one writer, not one historian.

nobody wrote PLUMPUS about him until at least 40 years after he died. and suddenly, it was TIME TO CREATE THE STORY...

what a mindless joke...

Answer 2

Glad to see someone else out there is on their toes. You don't see much recorded of the Hebrew exodus because much of those records were destroyed along with anything to give recognition to the heretic Pharoah Akhenaton, who by the way is the king of Egypt who "released" these slaves. Much of what Akhenaton did in the 17 years he was Pharoah "embarrassed" many in the land of Egypt and nobody wanted this Pharoah to be remembered in their history. There are many "hints" left though to give clues as to the fact that it was him who fell victum to hebrew beliefs, thus abolishing the faith in all the ancient egyptian deities. One fact of recorded hebrew history is this "plight" into the desert of the Sinai. This LAND belonged to Egypt so how can they proclaim to have LEFT Egypt, having lived there for 40 years after what they call their EXODUS?? The FICTION of the whole story comes into reality when you are made to believe 600,000 people can live 40 years in a desert that could not support 60 much less 600,000, but then those are the MIRACLES of faith aren't they...............

Answer 3

The Egyptians were notorious for revisionist history. For example, Ramses II built a temple recording his great victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Unfortunately, the "great victory" was really a "great draw." Egyptian pharoahs were supposed to be gods, so any failure on their part could have resulted in a breakdown of the system. Interestingly, Pharoah Merneptah (Ramses II's successor) recorded on a stele that he had destroyed all the seed of Israel in Canaan (which is patently false since the jews are still around). All in all, it would have been highly unlikely for a pharoah to say "Oh by the way, I was defeated by a foreign God, and I let the Israelites go."

Answer 4

They didn't miss it and there is a record. The record survived states the records of Moses were stricken from Egyptian record. In US courts some children I knew when I was a child had records of crimes, but when they reformed in time thier record was stricken from the records. That means then in Egypt the same as it dose today, that a record was made and later after striking it is no longer in the books accessable. The word strike or striken appears to show the place of where it once was but now is burried. It never means that this record never existed. So if you seek, you will find.

Answer 5

Your wrong, it was recorded, look up the Tempest Stele, an ancient Egyptian record.

Answer 6

they also recorded things that were embrassing to them so if it did happen they would have recorded it. They is also no record of all those people on the run in the desert either, such a large number would have left things behind.

Answer 7

I'm of the belief that the Egyptians did not want to record their greatest failure in their history. They kind of wanted to sweep that under the rug.

Answer 8

lol, i Heard that before too. Thats why I'm not a jew/muslim/christian. The bible is based off of middle eastern pagan beliefs.

You can also ask why no nation has a record of the "lost tribes of israel" who supposedly were suppose to be scatterd all thoughout asia according to the bible. lol.

Answer 9

It was only two people - Charlton Heston and that other guy. The rest weren't members of Actors Equity, so they didn't count.

Answer 10

Because they were walking on their tiptoes silly
