Egypt is silent about Zerah

Egyptian scribes were silent about the Hebrew Exodus;Egyptian scribes were also silent about Ethiopian Zerah's 1,000,000 man army which had to pass through Egypt on its way to attack Judah's king Asa. (2 Chronicles 14:9-15)

Egyptian historians constantly praise the ever flawed Egyptian history. If they don't have an answer, they say its a mystery. You would think they would have noticed a 1,000,000 man army entering their land. It happened in the reign of Osorkon I the king following Shishak 1 Kings 14:25. Egyptian king Osorkon I was contemporary with the reign of Judah's king Asa.

Egyptians hid their defeats;Egyptians only recorded their victories. Today, the Arabs want to move Israel's borders back to the pre-1967 lines as if the Six Day War never happened. Israel has won four major wars the Arabs don't want to talk about. The Arabs are no different in recording history than the ancient Egyptians wanting to leave ancient history as a mystery.
