Are there ancient Egyptian records of the ten plagues?

Best Answers

The Ipuwer Papyrus is an ancient document that provides a possible independent record of the ten plagues in Egypt. It describes a great disaster that took place in ancient Egypt. The oldest copy dates to around 1400 BC, placing it close to the time of the Exodus (circa 1446 BC). read more

There are indeed records of the plagues, and not just Egyptian records. The events were fairly well known throughout the known world. Ethiopian records are the closest to those provided for us in the Old Testament. read more

There are problems with individual kings, individual reign lengths, and so on, however I will recommend Hornung's edited Ancient Egyptian Chronology, which you can find online. Hornung is one of the leading Egyptologists, and every single contributor is a titan in the field. read more
