Does the Ipuwer Papyrus solve the Biblical mystery of the Egyptian Guard?

In this podcast, I want to discuss an issue that has puzzled many people namely: why don’t we find any mention of the devastating 10 plaques or Israel’s departure in Egypt’s archaeological records.
Though Egyptian pharaohs were notorious for downplaying their defeats and glorifying their victories, you would think there would be at least some hint of Israel’s exodus.
Well in fact there is a reference to the plagues, but it hasn't caught most people's attention because it puts the Exodus 300 years earlier than traditionally believed.
It is found in the Ipuwer Papyrus.
And as strange as this sounds, this papyrus also helps solve the mystery of the Egyptian guard.

Good stuff. Really well put together.

Great but the pharaoh of the Exodus was Amenhotep II. The date fits with 1 Kings 6:1 i.e. 480 years before the building of Solomon's Temple. Also, Amehotep II followed Thutmoses III who reigned for 53 years. Moses ran away from the pharaoh for 40 years until it was safe to go back. There were no other pharaohs that reigned oover 40 years around that time except Ramses II who was 200 years later. Amenhotep II also took a huge number of slaves into Egypt. The number is so big that people do not believe the records. He would have replaced the Hebrew slaves that he had just lost. His firstborn son also died.

This totally makes sense. 🇨🇦

The Ipuwer Papyrus wording was written in 1440. The experts said what was found was a copy of the original because there are words missing, not fully written out or spelled wrong because it was hard to read the original. It puts it right at the Exodus. Hatshepsut was the princess who drew Moses from the water. Amenhotep II was the meanest Pharaoh and was known to be cruel to the slave men. He was the Exodus Pharaoh.
Poor Hatshepsut was sad because she couldn't have a son and prayed to her gods for a son. God sent Moses because He knew she was so desperate for a son she would've protected Moses. Thutmoses III and Amenhotep II worked to eliminate any mention of Hatshepsut and her daughter from everything. I believe since she raised Moses as her son and wanted to make him Pharaoh they also kept Moses off everything as well.

Very interesting information.. I am curious, does the Ipuwer Papyrus tie in with the Brooklyn Papyrus, which includes lists of Hebrew slaves during the reign of Sebekhotep III?

[@opentheword204]

Thanks for your comment. I have heard about the Brooklyn papyrus, though there is disagreement on its actual dating several archaeologists I read date it to the 15th and 14th century BC, the same period of time as the Ipuwer Papyrus.

What is the guard?

[@markwhite6298]

That’s good research but, you keep bringing the Israelites into this instead of the Hyksos. This is the expulsion of the Hyksos and if that’s the case then the Israelites are really Hyksos

Did you watch the video?
Because he did not explain that

1- the book of Jasher is a midrash. A much later Jewish tradition to fill in gaps in actually inspired scripture.
2- the major Djoser in history was a ways before Abraham. Not ruling at the time Abraham's great grandson went to Egypt (around 17th century BCE). Although relating Djoser to Joseph with the name Imhotep suggests you're referring to the Famine Stela (which is also quite similar to the end of Genesis). But, the Stela was created during the Ptolemaic dynasty (Greek occupation, after Alexander the great). They may have got the story right, but the Pharoh wrong.
