Correct. Also consider that the Pharaoh was regarded as the descendant of Sungod. So what a shame it must have been for the Egyptians to face defeat on the hands of a bunch of slaves, their leader (Moses) and a foreign God! So, its not strange that... there is no record that threatens to maculate the glory of the Egyptian Empire.

Or if you consider Bible from the standpoint of a sceptic and believe only in hard evidence, then there would be bad blood. You would be provoking a hornet's hive.

If you forget faith altogether, and cannot find any mention of the events of Exodus or Moses or a Great Flood in the Egyptian inscriptions or papyri, you could say... that there was no Exodus ever!

But I think that there is some record of a massive flood and slave uprising. I will look it up.
