Historians look at the extensive archaeological evidence found in Egypt for the relevant period. For Egypt to have lost a very substantial number of slaves and then an entire army in pursuit of them, there must be a mention somewhere in the archives. Yet, although we have numerous letters, commercial contracts and royal records, and although we know much of the minutiae of life in Egypt, there is no direct or even indirect suggestion of the event, even if the numbers of Hebrew slaves was greatly exaggerated in the Bible. Now, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that there never really was an Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible. And without an Exodus, there is no puzzle regarding the parting of the Red Sea - it simply did not happen.
