I actually watched a show on the History Channel that suggested that it wasn't the "Red Sea" but the "Sea of Reeds" (they believed it to be a mistranslation) which is a shallow near the coast in Egypt. They showed that a volcanic eruption across the Mediterranean sea could cause what appeared to be a "parting" of the "Sea of Reeds".
They were even able to show how certain time periods the plagues could be caused by nature as well.
It was a fascinating show.
It could be a disease though. Described as such. There was some specific bug that came with the frogs or something. I'd have to watch the show again. It was a long time ago. It was extremely well done and they showed how a flood caused by rain in an exact area upriver could cause the water to be red like blood, that the drainage would cause... It was a chain reaction type of thing.
I'll see if I can find the link. It was a good show.
Regardless of how well-produced your documentary may be, my point still stands: I don't know of many diseases in nature that only kill first-born males.
