The Egytptians were compulsive record keepers -- a good idea in
a country where the property lines of your most important real
estate get washed away every year. A country with a formal
system of scribes, and a climate that preserved enormous
amounts of their written material.
Don't you think that if the rivers turned to blood and every
family lost a son, all on the same night, followed by a
not inconsiderable portion of the labor force taking to
their heels -- someone might have thought to jot down a
note about it?
Somehow, they seem not to have noticed.

And you have no evidence to refute the written eyewitness accounts
that the Bab was fired upon by a 750-man firing squad, but could
not be killed until He Himself allowed it. This was only 150
years ago, not several thousand. Do you believe that too?
I don't.
