At any rate, I'd have to go through my books again, but I believe my information comes from Don't Know Much About the Bible, by Kenneth C.

However, since I have several books on the subject, I could well be wrong--but then again, it could be in more than one of them.
I see.

Although, it seems to me if one asserts "the only egyptian record..." one might be able to recall what that record is.
