Exodus chapter 14 says that the king, or pharaoh, and hisentire army were engulfed and killed by the waters of the Red Sea.

However, we know the fate of every Egyptian king of the relevant period and all of them have been accounted for as dying by other means. There is no Egyptian record of an entire army being lost in pursuit of slaves. In fact, all extant Egyptian records show Egypt as continuing to prosper and rule the subject Canaanite city-states throughout this period. For some reason, the biblical record is wrong. Or, as Israel Finkelstein says, there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible.

Pompey the great when he died and how?

Pompey the Great was betrayed stabbed to death in 48 BC by Achillas (one of the guardians of the king of Egypt, Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator, and commander of the king's troops) Septimius, a Roman soldier. After he was defeated by Julius Caesar, Pompey fled to Egypt hoping to find sanctuary there because he had been friends with the previous king of Egypt, Ptolemy XII Auletes. Instead, the advisors of the new young king suggested killing him to gain Caesar's favour. When Caesar reached Egypt in his pursuit of Pompey, Pompey's head and seal were presented to him. Caesar was disgusted and put the assassins to death.
