In the Bible, Moses and an Egyptian Pharaoh Were Involved in a Bitter Dispute. Were the Events like the “Angel of Death” and Various Plagues by “Yahweh” Recorded by Egyptians?

I couldn’t find any sources that didn’t involve using the Bible as proof of these series of events. I’m curious if the Egyptians ever recorded some or all of these events in their perspective. In my eyes, any source outside the Bible makes the story of Moses more credible. Is the story of Moses, specifically in reference to his dispute with an Egyptian pharaoh for the freedom of his people, have any evidence of it happening? Does it have any historical basis outside of the Bible?

The phrase for these types of questions is 'historicity of (event)'. Hope this helps!

Follow-up question: what about the argument that the Egyptians wouldn't record, or wouldn't record extensively, a humilliating defeat like the one the Exodus would be? Did Egyptians record their defeats, sucessful slave revolts, stories that would degrade king or nobility, etc?
