Did the Egyptians throw their babies to the crocodiles?

Answer 1

No, not Egyptian babies, Jewish babies. In the "Book of exodus" it mentioned the Jewish population(Whom were slaves at the time) growing too vast in Egypt.
So the Pharaoh (who was frightened that if their population grew too vast, the Hebrews would revolt and overthrow Egypt) decided that they would use the Hebrew babies as crocodile feed as a way of keeping the Jewish population down. So a the mother of moses, A Jew whom feared for her sons life, instead let him be raised by Egyptians as an Egyptian so he wouldn't fall victim to the same slaughter as the other children. Then he came back some years later and asked the pharaoh to let his people go, and so on.
Cruel, yes.
Factual, I'm not sure.
this was in the Five books of moses, ( the Torah, and The Bible.)
So if you're Christian, Catholic or Jewish, then Yes. This did happen.
But if not, don't trouble yourself with this fable.
As for myself, I just really like Theology. :)
Hope I could help.

Answer 2

Yes, that did indeed happened. The Egyptians were punished by God as Moses warned Ramesses II if he didn’t released his (Hebrew) people from slavery. As stubborn and prideful the Pharaoh was, he did not listen, and so a deadly plague took place all over ancient Egypt.

The Plague started by turning the Nile River waters into a deep, crimson red color. Resembling blood! Then, frogs invaded the country and it just gets worse from there with the pestilence and the famine. But what stroke me the most, is the last punishment: ALL FIRST-BORN SONS SHALL BE KILLED, unless they smear animal blood on their doorstep (they shall be speared) you can say that……the Egyptian Pharaoh got a taste of his own medicine when his first-born son was killed.
