Answer 3

Since The Bible shows the Exodus from Egypt as taking place around 1440 BCE, the plagues should have taken place a little earlier - around the middle of the fifteenth century BCE. However, there is no evidence in the Egyptian records that there were any such plagues. Egypt seems to have been at the height of its power, economically and militarily and, even if we assume that for some reason the records would not have mentioned the plagues directly, the empire was not distracted from its ongoing activities.

Answer 4

If you mean the Biblical plagues, there is no written evidence of ancinet Egpytain nature to support them. Plagues, however, do happen naturally around the world year round. The "flu season" can be called such.
