There is about 3 grams of iron in our blood, coloring the blood red. Knowing there is about 5 liters of blood in your body, you don't need much of it if you shovel it into the waterways at the right spots, and you wouldn't need nearly as much to dye water red. Like I said there's a lot of red henna soil in Egypt, henna is among other things used to dye fabrics and hair, nails and eye lashes. There was and is plenty of iron oxide available along the Nile, a handful men could easily make the Nile red.

I suppose an army of Hebrew assassins also killed all of the first born in Egypt in one night. Even stealing into the Royal palace and killing the Kings son.

Exactly how it happened, I don't know, but lets say that being a first-born son in Egypt brought about responsibility the other children didn't have, being a first-born had religious implications and at times they were gathered to eat a sacrificial meal annualy. Nice place to poison them with ricin or other agents available to Moses &al. Or are you saying miracles and the Angel of Death is a more plausible explanation?

to kill of a generation of Egyptians as revenge for the Egyptians killing off the Israeli first-borns. One surviving such was Moses himself.

Ah, either it is magic or it wrecks the story. Believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny as much as you like, but the truth is slightly less fun. Disinfo is much easier to tolerate than conspiracies and plots to kill of a generation of Egyptians as revenge for the Egyptians killing off the Israeli first-borns. One surviving such was Moses himself.

Exodus 1 explains how the Pharaoh orders all Israeli first-born sons killed. Then Ex. 2 explains how Moses manages to survive since his parents place him in a woven float and sends him into the river at a place where the Egyptian high-society women bathed. Thinking the child was a reborn Osiris, Moses was saved and brought up as an Egyptian prince. Ex. 11 explains Moses' revenge, his tenth horn, divicing a plan that kills off all Egyptian first-born sons. Now what is twisted up here? Appart from the whole story being twisted in the first place that is.…
