So its impossible that the people who wrote the Bible could have exagerrated at all? The Hebrews could of had an army of several thousand, and if thats true then their feats aren't that spectacular. If they had an army of 40,000 thats still smaller than the Egyptian army that marched back and forth through the same desert at this time. So they had enough gold to supply a huge army for a long period time but they drank it all, I dont think I'm the only one not buying that one.

You dont think that other people in the world would have heard about this? Egypt was a major trader in the Middle East, it wouldnt take much for word to spread via trader or traveler to other nations. One would have to give the Egyptians credit for covering up both politically and archeologically the death of hundreds of thousands of children at once, but we would also have to comment on the carelessness of foriegn leaders, scribes, and the general population for not bothering to mention it in their texts and stories.

If every first born child in Iran was killed by some astounding miracle, I'm sure we in America find out about it and bother to record it.
