Did the ancient Egyptians leave an account of the Red Sea (Yam Suf) crossing? Most people who have studied this would respond, "But the ancient Egyptians never monumentalized their defeats." However, there is an Egyptian legend (not the el-Arish Shrine) about a battle between two Egyptian "gods," and in this battle, the "good god," who represents Egypt, loses (something very rare), and the "bad god," who represents the foreigners, wins, and it takes place at the bottom of the sea And what is of more interest is that this takes place right in front of the four place names of the Red Sea/Yam Suf crossing, as given in Exodus 14:2 (Pi-hahiroth, Migdol, Baal-zephon, and "the sea.") But because this Egyptian legend was said to have happened in an unexpected location, it has been passed over. Also, both the Bible and Josephus (1st century AD, Jewish historian) say Israel left from the west side of the Nile River, not the east Nile Delta.
