correction

all Egypt was not destroyed however the army was as was Pharoah's government infrastructure and the country was laid to waste. However Egypt did Teshuvah after that being that most crops/livestock/wealth was taken from them

Irina,It does not say all of Egypt was destroyed. Clearly all the soldiers that chased after the jews were drowned in the red sea. However there still remained many women and non soldier egyptian men who survived and continued to propogate. The reign of Egypt over the jews was destroyed and the enslavement of the jewish people ended. But nowhere does it say Egypt was obliterated from the face of the earth to the extent that it should no longer still exist.

It says that Egypt was destroyed but we know that it wasnt... should we completely ignore ALL of history and discredit everything in favor of the torah?
