He has posted the name of the document I referenced which means his knowledge must be complete and we all now have to take him at his word!!!Roland Enmarch . . . (1 among others) has published an extensive study of the Ipuwer Papyrus, which is available in it's entirety, with a translation, here:
If only, their was a web site that actually had the document translated, and then compares the Ipuwer Papyrus side by side to the bible to show where the two do indeed describe the same event...

He states "Even if a literal interpretation of Ipuwer as an eyewitness account of historical events were to be accepted, several of the its laments would contradict the Biblical account, and imply that they described different occasions. For example, the Egyptian poem actually laments the invasion of Asiatics (e.g. Ipuwer 1.9; 2.2; 3.1; 3.1–2; 4.6–7), rather than their large scale emigration." He believes that the reference to a red river points to the eruption of Thera.
Many actual scholars are in agreement. I chose to believe people who are doing actual research, rather than people who grasp at straws desperately trying to prove that their pet myths are true.
You didn't look up who the Ancient Egyptians the "asiatics" to be did you?
