Moses on the other hand is a myth who never existed anyway.
Religious  nutjobs have proclaimed various dates for his

Ancient Greece already existed.

WHAT?? Moses never existed!! But MY Bible tells me so!! ;-)

 It also tells you that he summoned god to part the Red Sea
and let the Israelites escape from the Egyptian army... Which
may not be as bonkers as the Adam/Eve 'rib' thing, but even so
I'd tend to go with 'unreliable narrator' for that part of the
story!
 

I'd tend to go with 'unreliable reader' for that part of the story. It's not the Red Sea that was parted it was the Reed Sea, ie. Yam Suph in the biblical Hebrew text which means Reed Sea.
We know from Egyptian inscriptions, Diodorus Siculus and Manetho that Moses was Amenmesse = Messuy = Ammosis.
We also know from the Septuagint (the oldest extant biblical text which predates the extant Hebrew) that the god of Moses is explicitly named as On which means The One (I am who I am) which implies that he was Ktes = Proteus = Setnakte, since supernatural entities are clearly all bullshit so he must be a real person to be able to speak to Moses.
So it is quite conceivable that Setnakte helped Amenmesse to leave Egypt voluntarily by parting the Reed Sea for him so he could cross into Canaan.
