record of the successful exit of a large bunch of foreign slaves (with loss
of a full chariot squadron) would ever have been memorialized by a king in
the temples in the Delta or anywhere else." (p. 246. K.A. Kitchen. _On the

You seem now to be arguing that:
a) There is evidence of an Exodus of Hebrews from Egypt.
and
b) The reason there is no evidence is that Egyptians didn't note their failures.
Huh?

Uh, Daffy, if you go back and reread this thread you'll find where I state "absence of evidence for a couple million hebrews in the sinai is rather stark."
Have I said there is evidence for the exodus?
No.
I've simply maintained that egyptian records do in fact speak of pr.w, or habiru, which are likely references to the Hebrews.
