The biggest stumbling block this theory runs into is a simple question--If the plague started in ancient Egypt, were are the mass graves which would be associated with a plague? At this point, no such mass burial has been found.

It might not have been "bubonic" plague, but another kind. There is phonemic evidence and the hieroglyph of the plow that I played with a long time ago, will try to find, that connects the sounds for flea, plow, and death.

If there was a plague in Egypt..would they have recorded it? They wouldn't have recorded it in the temples, would they? As the temples were places where the triumphs of the kings and gods were recorded, they would not have recorded what they would have seen as a punishment from the gods, would they??

The papyrus we have documenting the dieases in ancient Egypt are the Ebers and Smith papyri that were writen originally by Imhotep. Later dyansties added on to these papyrus over time. If any traces of this diease was to be found then one of these papyri would have documented them.
