Note that the precise location of the splitting of the Sea of Reeds is no longer known for sure.

An answer is found in Exodus 1:8, which you may think means that Egypt forgot Joseph. However, it does not state that. Rather, "the king of Egypt did not know Joseph" (Exodus 1:8), which does not necessarily mean that every Egyptian no longer knew of him. To this day there is an ancient aqueduct there, which the locals have always called "Joseph's waterway."

Moreover, it may be that the king found it politically convenient to deliberately turn away from the memory of Joseph, as opposed to having literally been unaware of him (Rashi commentary, ibid., quoting two Talmudic opinions concerning this possibility).


If, however, your intention is that they forgot the Plagues, that is not stated anywhere. Rather, they considered the matter and Pharaoh commanded his army to sortie against the exiting Israelites (Exodus ch.14), despite the plagues that had happened.
