A few leaps. More like a few thousand. Ramese III and Thutmose II or their successors were the only ones that would fit within that time frame. There are no indications that they died anything other than by old age. No record of any unusual plagues etc., even though that sort of event was recorded regularly.
The Romans were even more obsessive about event like that and did have several chroniclers during that time frame. Again no real mention of anything novel or unusual events in that time frame. You would think that given the spectacular nature of those miracles, someone other than the Israelites or the Christians would have noticed.
