it depends on who they are written by. The Egyptians are notorious for expunging or simply not recording defeat. They've even wiped out whole pryamids of rulers they did not like, and attempted to erase away any signs of the One God that ruler had the nation worship.. If there exile was for only fourty years, that very generation could have wiped their own shame from history. Now add the fact that the Babylon did not make it to modern times (as they were the one to defeat eygpt) It would be logical that we would know nothing about Egypt's defeat.
History is written by the victors and maintained by who is left. Meaning your 'written record' is only as reliable as those who orginally wrote it, and every single generation dedication to perserve it from that time to this. Neither of which would be in egypt's favor to perserve this defeat.
In short you dont know, what you don't know.
