Maybe the Egyptians didn't want to acknowledge that the Hebrew God was actually greater than their "gods" so they refused to put it in their history, perhaps? It would be admitting that their "gods" weren't powerful enough to protect them. The Egyptians were a very proud people, after all.
i've always been full atheist, however religion gets my attention in philosophical sense and historical sense, and i've always been interested what differences can people note between the translations and what influence can they possibly have, since it's not a topic you see often when debating Christianity and its roots and influences

There are tons of differences between the different versions and only the Authorized King James version went thru such a lengthy and laborious process of translation from the original texts to make sure it matched them precisely. Don't remember the exact number but King James commissioned several dozen of the best translators in the world at that time to translate the original texts into english.
There are many videos on You Tube that talk about the differences in the different versions if you're interested. The You Tube video called "New World Order Bible Versions" is really good and goes into great detail about not just the differences the modern version have compared to the King James but the bloody history of how the 1611 King James Bible finally came into being. It's quite fascinating. I highly recommend it when for atheists such as yourself. You don't have to be s a Christian to enjoy learning about the differences and histories of the different versions.

I know because it is the only one translated directly from the original texts.

The KJB is also the greatest selling book of all-time.Charlie Darwin's fantasy novel "On the Origin of Species" certainly doesn't hold a candle to it lol.
But, considering evolution is taught basically everywhere on Earth outside of a few fundamentalist theocracies, I'd say Darwin's work is actually consumed by far more people than the Bible, Quran, Rigveda or any other religious text.
There are tons of countries and cultures where Christianity has little presence, if any. That's not really true for Darwin. Even in most predominantly Christian/Buddhist/ Hindu/Shinto/etc cultures, they are still learning Darwin.
Evolutionary theory is everywhere.

I'm not saying popularity makes something correct, and people are welcome to their beliefs; however, the power of science is undeniable.

That is incorrect.It's pretty easy to outsell a science book though, as the general populace doesn't read them in their free time. Not that it matters either way...

No, it's not incorrect.
Darwin's book was not a science book, moron, no matter how much you've convinced yourself it is. It is a racist, fairytale book. So sorry that I've hurt your fee fees by talking bad about your pathetic, loser idol Charley Darwin's "masterpiece"lol.
Evolution "theory" is a friggin' joke; only brainwashed people call is "science" and it's clearly obvious you're butthurt mad that the King Jamea Bible far exceeds Darwin's book in all-time sales. People don't learn evolution "theory" they are brainwashed/indoctrinated into believing in it
Don't want to be accused of being a bigot (even though I already have been many times over by retarded lefties) so I apologize for insulting your evolutionary religion. 👆

Again, not sure what u r saying here. The Bible is what says that angels are actually angels. The Bible is the Word of God. Looks like you're problem is with the authority of the Bible itself. That is something we will never agree on though so it's kind of pointless to argue over it.
