The first thing an ascending new pharoah did was to erase the past and anything negative: etchings on pyramids were removed and replaced with the new Pharoah being agrandised.
Care to back up that statement with the evidence IaJ?

That the ancient egyptians were known to fib rather than report a negative of themselves?
And the Israeli people were incapable of the same?
Aside from this being generally quoted and accepted by many scholars, its not easy to prove - there is no scroll of self admission by the pharoahs found yet: PROOF THEY DID IT!!
Which scholars and what is their evidence? So, no scroll of self admission constitutes proof in your eyes? Please promise never to serve on a jury would you?
we know that Israel was not destroyed by Egypt in the period stated in the Mernepath stele. And that the stele contains less than true reports is gnerally accepted - here's one such assessment:
And the bible has its share of incorrect statements and inflated storytelling and outright mistakes and lies so what is your point? That humans of ancient times were similar to those today? I would not expect that to be very enlightening would you?
