Another answer from our community:
Firstly, it is not surprising that there are no Egyptian records of the Israelites specifically. The Egyptian historians and Pharoah's never recorded instances which were unfavorable to themselves and there are a number of known examples of this in their history. This event which was a great tragedy for the nation of Egypt, would likewise not have been recorded as a normal practice.
Secondly, it is not surprising that some believe that no evidence of the Exodus has ever been found, since they are looking in the wrong time period, hundreds of years away from when the Exodus occurred in 1446 BC. This partly answers the belief that there is no evidence since they are looking in the wrong place in time where no evidence could or should exist.
Thirdly, it is not at all surprising that little evidence exists, since the Israelites were nomads at that time. Nomadic people often leave little or no trace of where they have been as their dwellings are temporary by definition.
Conclusion:
Thus the question itself makes an assumption based on the premise that there is no evidence.
What else can I help you with?
2.5 million Israelites roaming the desert for 40yrs during Exodus must be like a floating island and must be noticed by other tribes - Are there any records from these other tribes?
There are no records at all found to date from these other tribes, and so there is obviously no record of the Israelites in terms of writing. There is however, in the archaeological record plenty of evidence which supports the historicity of the Exodus event. Modern archeologists have also noted the existence of what they term as 'invisible nomads' which we know from other sources to have existed historically but which have left no 'archaeological footprint' or records themselves, even in relatively recent times. In this light the absence of records is not surprising. Perhaps the adage 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' applies here.
