Of course I have read it. Do you think you are the first to trot that out as "evidence?"
Did you read the end? It is a philosophical discussion between Ipuwer and some god about the nature of chaos. This is why it is regarded as mere "literature" by many Egyptologists.
You have to understand, Hannah, that bible-thumpers will always see their 'god' in everything. They are highly motivated to make such representations. That is why they are unreliable as scholars.
The noted con artist, Simcha Jacobovici, took the Ahmose Stele and proclaimed that it matched the plague story and thus ( TA-DA) exodus was true.
Unfortunately for Simcah, we have translations of the Ahmose Stele:
http://www.therafoundation.org/articles/...gnofahmose
It describes a flood in a specific area and the pharaoh arrived with aid and assistance...doing a much better job than Bush did with Katrina, for example!
Alas, if you can read that you will find as much evidence for the 10 plagues as you have in Ipuwer.
Jacobovici is a known con man. Don't be like him.
