I read somewhere, and I cannot now find where, that the only reference to the Israelites in the Egyptian records claimed that they'd been destroyed by the Egyptians. I cannot now find where, as I said; if you can, I'd appreciate it. I've pretty much exhausted my guesses. (Maybe Boorstin somewhere?)
