An ancient Egyptian manuscript known as the Ipuwer Papyrus is stirring renewed interest, with many pointing to its striking parallels to the biblical account of the ten plagues in Exodus. Written as a lament by a scribe named Ipuwer, the text describes famine, societal collapse, mass death, and natural disasters that bear uncanny similarities to the plagues God sent upon Egypt. One line reads, “There’s blood everywhere…Lo, the River is blood,” closely mirroring Exodus 7:20, where Moses strikes the Nile and its waters turn to blood. Other passages speak of stripped trees, ruined crops, and widespread hunger—echoing the hail, locusts, and famine described in Scripture.

Though the papyrus was discovered in the 19th century and is housed in the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities, it has recently resurfaced on social media, where many are amazed they had never heard of it before. While scholars debate its exact dating and interpretation, the similarities have sparked discussions among believers who see it as another piece of evidence affirming the truth of the biblical record. For those who hold to Scripture, the papyrus stands as a reminder that God’s Word is not myth but history—His judgments and deliverance recorded for all generations to remember.
