Many scholars view the biblical account of the 10 plagues of Egypt as fiction. But a remarkable manuscript from ancient Egypt records events that align extraordinarily well with the events surrounding Israel’s exodus from Egypt. The Ipuwer Papyrus, also known as the “Admonitions of Ipuwer,” was written by the royal scribe Ipuwer and described a time of terrible starvation, drought, death, and violent upheavals in ancient Egypt. The lengthy scroll dates to circa 13th-century B.C.E... but is known to be a copy of an earlier manuscript. The dating of the original is unknown; dates for its compilation range from the early 20th century b.c.e. to the 15th-century b.c.e.—the latter matching more closely with the date of the Exodus.
