The Bible appears to say that 600 Egyptian charioteers died in pursuit of Moses and the Israelites. The extensive Egyptian records of the time associated with the biblical Exodus never mention, even indirectly, the loss of any slaves or so much manpower in pursuit of them. In fact, over ninety per cent of scholars are said to have concluded that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. On this view, no Egyptian charioteers were lost in pursuit of Moses and the Israelites. If indeed the Exodus really did occur, the Egyptians had no reason to take any risks, as all of Palestine and Syria, including the Canaanite cities, were under their firm control. No matter where the Israelites fled, they would merely end up in Egyptian hands, so Egyptian loss of life need not have been high.
