The Bible says that Moses led 600,000 fighting men out of Egypt, which would mean at least two and a half million people, including women, children, proests, sick and elderly and even exectant women. The Bible also talks of the Israelites taking their livestock, wagons and other accroutrements with them.
Artistic representations always show a small group of people being quickly led across the seabed of the Red Sea, chased by the Egyptian army about to be overcome and destroyed by the waters. However, the number of people represented in the Bible would have taken days or weeks to cross, especially when we consider the sick and elderly as well as women in the late stages of pregnancy, and would have extended for several kilometres in all directions. The Egyptians should have had no difficulty in cutting down the multitude.
On the other hand, the clear consensus of more than ninety per cent of scholars is that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. There therefore was no parade of people that Moses led across the Red Sea.

How long after leaving Egypt did Moses die?
----------------------- The traditional view is that Moses died forty years after leaving Egypt with the Israelites, at the age of 120 years. The Bible contains an anomaly that can be read to mean that Moses died long before the Exodus from Egypt. This occurred because the ancients did not have computers and could not check the details of their narratives for consistency. Exodus 12:40-41 says that the Hebrews spent 430 years in Egypt. According to Genesis, Moses' grandfather, Kohath, was alive at the time of the migration to Egypt and lived 133 years, while Moses' father, Amran, lived 137 years. So, Moses must have been born sometime between 15 years and 270 years after the arrival in Egypt. Even assuming the patriarchs really lived to improbably great ages, Moses died, aged 120 years, at least 40 years before the Exodus from Egypt. The respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein says that, for other reasons, over 90 per cent of scholars believe that the Exodus from Egypt never occurred as described in the Bible. So, on the scholarly view, there never was an Exodus and Moses is most unlikely to have existed.

Why did Moses got angry with his people adoring the golden calf upon his descent from Mt Sinai when the Ten commandments were still unknown to them?
The people had lost patience with Moses as he had been on the mount a long time communing with God. Though the Lord had brought them out of the land of Egypt they were still had within them the memory of the Gods of Egypt. Rather than wait for the return of Moses some build an idle to worship rather than stand around idly. Aaron could have stopped them but gave in to their demands. Moses on his return was of course angry at the lack of faith his people were showing and had all of the instigators killed. He broke the tablets containing the Higher Law of Commandments and instead of God re writing them he gave the people a lesser law to live by.
