there is actually some historical and archaeological evidence supporting his existence and the events that happened. this article explains it a bit: http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v15/i1/moses.asp

Just because the Hebrew name for Moses wasn't identical to the Egyptian name doesn't mean they were different people. He is likely in a number of Egyptian records; it's possible that his name was damaged or defaced deliberately after the fact.

If you were so bigoted against a race of people living among you that you ordered all their male babies killed, and then your daughter tricked you into adopting one of those babies and raising him as a son, how much ink would you devote to him? But don't forget, Joseph had another name when he was a ruler in Egypt and was so thoroughly assimilated into Egyptian culture that his own brothers didn't recognize him. Likely Moses had an Egyptian name too.

As real as Jesus, god, Adam & Eve, the talking snakes, the flying donkeys and the rest of the characters in that fantasy

He was a minor person at court. The people he freed were slaves and none of them did anything for Egypt except remove some slaves. Nothing noteworthy for the hygoglifics to note when telling Egypt's history and religion.

Remeber that Egyptians were the bad guys. Moses was nothing but a rebel slave to the Pharaoh.

No, it's now accepted by the majority of biblical scholars that Moses is in fact a composite of several different figures.

Moses is a fiction, and like the prodigies he did. Nobody open the Red Sea with a piece of wood. Nobody take water out from a rock. Nobody make insects rains, animals, fish, etcetera. Do you understand it? Yes...! Then, now you can understand why Moses never mentioned the name of the Egyptian King, the biblical name of the Pharaoh. Do you now why? Because the biblical Pharaoh is the name of the Great Pyramid, the God of Jews in Egypt and this is the reason of intelligence why Moses manifested the Jews were slaves of Pharaoh. Do you understand now...! Yes my friend... Moses manifested in double literal sense that the jews were slaves of conscience from Great Pyramid. Who is Moses? Sure. One of the writers of the Torah. Who? I really don't know, but be sure the biblical personnage never existed, the biblical writer only.

We are not certain of his existence. The accounts in the Torah, Bible and Qu'ran cannot be considered historical, and various theories exist. "Academic view: The German scholar Martin Noth: - Accepts that Moses may have had some connection with the preparations for the conquest of Canaan - Recognizes a historical core "beneath" the Exodus and Sinai traditions But on the other hand, Noth holds that: - Two different groups experienced the Exodus and Sinai events and each group transmitted its own stories independently of the other one. - "The biblical story tracing the Hebrews from Egypt to Canaan resulted from an editor's weaving separate themes and traditions around a main character Moses, actually an obscure person from Moab." Other scholars such as William Foxwell Albright have a more favorable view towards the traditional views regarding Moses, and accept the essence of the biblical story, as narrated between Exodus 1:8 and Deuteronomy 34:12, but recognize the impact that centuries of oral and written transmission have had on the account, causing it to acquire layers of accretions. Historiography: Known extra-Biblical references to Moses date from many centuries after his supposed lifetime, and contain significant departures from the Biblical account. In addition to the Judeo-Roman or Judeo-Hellenic historians Artapanus, Eupolemus, Josephus, and Philo, a few gentile historians including Polyhistor, Manetho, Apion, Chaeremon of Alexandria, Tacitus and Porphyry make reference to him. The extent to which any of these accounts rely on earlier sources is unknown. Moses also appears in other religious texts such as the Midrash, Mishnah and Qur'an No other surviving written records from Egypt, Assyria, etc., indisputably referring to the stories of the Bible or its main characters before ca. 850s BCE have been found, and there is no known physical evidence (such as pottery shards or stone tablets) to corroborate Moses' existence." "There is considerable uncertainty as to what date the Bible implies for the Exodus taking place. Suggestions are from 1648 to 1208 BCE " "A more recent and non-Biblical view places Moses as a noble in the court of the Pharaoh Akhenaten (See below). A significant number of scholars, from Sigmund Freud to Joseph Campbell, suggest that Moses may have fled Egypt after Akhenaten's death (ca. 1334 BCE) when many of the pharaoh's monotheistic reforms were being violently reversed. The principal ideas behind this theory are: the monotheistic religion of Akhenaten being a possible predecessor to Moses' monotheism, and the "Amarna letters", written by nobles to Akhenaten, which describe raiding bands of "Habiru" attacking the Egyptian territories in Mesopotamia." "Challenges to his historicity: There is also the suggestion that Moses was not a real historical figure and that the Exodus did not occur at all. Some archaeologists have claimed that surveys of ancient settlements in Sinai do not appear to show a great influx of people around the time of the Exodus (given variously as between 1500–1200 BCE), as would be expected from the arrival of Joshua and the Israelites in Canaan. This suggests that the biblical Exodus may not be a literal depiction. Archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein, Ze'ev Herzog and William G. Dever, regard the Exodus as non-historical, at best containing a small germ of truth. According to Prof. Ze'ev Herzog, Director of the Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University "This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel.... The many Egyptian documents that we have make no mention of the Israelites' presence in Egypt and are also silent about the events of the exodus. In his book, The Bible Unearthed, Finkelstein points to the appearance of settlements in the central hill country around 1200, recognized by most archaeologists as the earliest of the known settlements of the Israelites. Using evidence from earlier periods, he shows a cyclical pattern to these highland settlements, corresponding to the state of the surrounding cultures. Finkelstein suggests that the local Canaanites would adapt their way of living from an agricultural lifestyle to a nomadic one and vice versa. When Egyptian rule collapsed after the invasion of the Sea Peoples, the central hill country could no longer sustain a large nomadic population, so they went from nomadism to sedentism. Dever agrees with the Canaanite origin of the Israelites but allows for the possibility of a Semitic tribe coming from Egyptian servitude among the early hilltop settlers and that Moses or a Moses-like figure may have existed in Transjordan ca 1250-1200. Biblical minimalists, such as Philip Davies, Niels Peter Lemche and Thomas L. Thompson, regard the Exodus as ahistorical. Hector Avalos, in "The End of Biblical Studies," states that the Exodus, as depicted in the Bible, is an idea that most biblical historians no longer support."
