Calamities that befell Pharaoh

Sura 7, verses 130 and 133 clearly the calamities that the Egyptians faced.  Each time, prophet Moses (PBUH) prayed to remove the calamities.  These calamities were not known to archeologists until the beginning of 19th century when a papyrus was obtained from a tomb in Egypt.  The papyrus was translated from the ancient Egyptian language to English.  Amazingly, it matches how the Holy Qur'an describes those calamities!

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

We punished the people of Pharaoh with years (of droughts) and shortness of crops;

 that they might receive admonition.  7:130

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَـٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَـٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ

So We sent upon them the flood  and locusts  and lice  and frogs  and blood  as distinct signs,

but they were arrogant and were a criminal people. 7:133 

Please note that some of these calamities are also described in the Bible.
