This is about the Pharaoh and Moses story in the bible. What is the name of the pharaoh and was his mummy discovered in the valley of the kings in Egypt?

As far as surviving texts are concerned, none mentions Moses, the flight of the Israelites from Egypt or the Red Sea incident.
This does not prove that the event did not happen, simply that the Egyptians did not record it - military defeats were never recorded in official records.
Most of the mummys found in the Valley of the Kings are unidentified, since they were removed from their tombs in ancient times and all associated artefacts stolen. Very few have been found in their original tombs complete with names and other means of identification.

the pharoah at the time of moses was ramesses II. he is the pharoah being considered as the greatest and most powerful egyptian pharoah of all of egypt's history....and about the his mummy....Ramesses II was buried in the Valley of the Kings on the western bank of Thebes in Egypt, in KV7, but his mummy was later moved to the mummy cache at Deir el-Bahri, where it was found in 1881. In 1885, it was placed in Cairo's Egyptian Museum where it remains as of 2007.so the drowning stuff may just be a product of an ancient over active mind after all.....

Many people think that the Pharaoh of the Exodus was Rameses II. I am not sure that this is correct
