I LOL'd when I read this. Yes, with the 24/7 news cycle and the internet, I'm sure we would hear about this. However, in ancient Egyptian times, nations were very isolated, so Egypt's neighbor would likely not even know about the plagues, or maybe just hear romors. |
Your knowledge of the matter is way off. Egypt was a trading power in ancient times, there was a major trade route through the Sinai Peninsula connecting Egypt with Asia. Travelers and traders visited Egypt and other nations quite often. There are numerous records of nations making records of other people during this time, the Armana letters of Egypt (around the suspected time of Moses) gave precise details about Egypt's neighbors. The Habiru people, expected to be the Hebrews, were talked about and recorded by several ancient civiliations.
Its utterly ridiculous to think that other people would not heear about the Nile River would run red with blood and over a hundred thousand people first born children dying. The Bablyonians recorded how much grain they traded with Egypt and and what characteristics a group of nomads had in the desert, but you claim that they and other civilizations didn't bother or even heard about such a huge supernatural event.
