Exodus and Ipuwer were describing the same event, and you're saying the
Exodus never happened?  Humm.  Here's some more data, a bit more firm on
dates that when this or that document might have been written, based on
THINGS, not writing, that also point to 3,600 years ago or so as the
last passage.

   Radiocarbon Dating Evidence for Mammoths on Wrangel Island,
   Artic-Ocean, Until 2000-BC.
   In Radiocarbon, 1995, Vol 37, No. 1, pp 1-6
      Radiocarbon dating results of mammoth tusks, teeth and bones
      collected on Wrangel Island between 1989 and 1991 reveal a
      unique mammoth refugium during the Holocene. We used an
      improved chemical procedure to  obtain and purify collagen
      from bone. Benzene synthesized from the samples was
      measured using a liquid scintillation counter. The validity
      of our data has been confirmed by the results of our
      measurements on two international control sample series
      (IAEA and TIRI) and by parallel measurements of Wrangel
      Island mammoth remains at other laboratories.

   Discovery magazine, April 1999
      The heyday of the woolly mammoth was the Pleistocene
      Epoch, stretching from 1.8 million years ago to the end
      of the last ice age 11,000 years ago. Mammoths thrived
      particularly well in Siberia, where dry grasslands once
      stretched for hundreds of miles, supporting a vibrant ecosystem
      of mammoths, bison, and other jumbo herbivores. .. The
      mammoth fossils on Wrangel Island are the youngest that
      have ever been found. It was there, apparently, that mammoths
      made their last stand. They died out only 3,800 years ago.

   Earth in Upheaval, The Ivory Islands
      Fossil tusks of the mammoth - an extinct elephant -
      were found in northern Siberia and brought southward
      to markets at a very early time.  Northern Siberia
      provided more than half the world's supply of ivory,
      many piano keys and many billiard balls being made
      from the fossil tusks of mammoths.

      In 1797 the body of a mammoth, with flesh, skin, and
      hair, was found in northeastern Siberia.  The flesh had
      the appearance of freshly frozen beef;  it was edible, and
      wolves and sled dogs fed on it without harm.  The ground
      must have been frozen ever since the day of their
      entombment;  had it not been frozen, the bodies of the
      mammoths would have putrefied in a single summer,
      but they remained unspoiled for some thousands of years.
      In some mammoths, when discovered, even the eyeballs
      were still preserved.

      [All] this shows that the cold became suddenly extreme ..
      and knew no relenting afterward.  In the stomachs and
      between the teeth of the mammoths were found plants
      and grasses that do not grow now in northern Siberia ..
      [but are] .. now found in southern Siberia.  Microscopic
      examination of the skin showed red blood corpuscles,
      which was proof not only of a sudden death, but that the
      death was due to suffocation either by gases or water.
