Or where his remains are or where he is or not. The revelation in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran mentions in detail the events that led to the Pharaoh drowned and died with his army, while the water gave way to Moses and his people to pass by the command of Allah.
But the Bible and the Torah are silent about what happened after that, But there was a very strange thing said in the Qur'an about the end of Pharaoh which no one understood what it meant, even the Muslims themselves would have read it and passed on without realizing that what is it about. This is what was said in Surah Yunus about what happened to Pharaoh after his death. "So We will take your body (out of the sea) and save it so that you may be a lesson to those who come after you." (Al Qur'an,Surah Yunus, verse 92)
This incident took place three and a half thousand years ago. After the drowning of Pharaoh, the sea threw his body out by the command of Allah while no trace of the rest of the army was found. One of the Egyptians recognized his body lying on the shore and told the courtiers.
Pharaoh's body was taken to the palace. They made a mistake in the process of mummification, because Pharaoh drowned in the sea and after staying in the water for some time after his death, a layer of sea salt was left on his body. The Egyptians did not remove the salt layer from his body and mummified him along with it. As time went on, the earth and the sky saw many revolutions under which everything went hidden, with passage of time the mummified bodies of the Pharaohs hid inside the earth,their names left only in books, on their constructions and in people's minds.
Two thousand years after this event, the last prophet of Allah Muhammad PBUH, came to this world. In the last book of Allah that was revealed to him, the story of the Pharaoh was narrated in great detail.
A verse revealed about how the Pharaoh's body was preserved,on truthfulness of which was firmly believed by all the believers but they were unable to understand where the body of the this claimant of divinity was preserved and how it would be made a sign.
In 1871, Ahmed Abdel Rasool, a poor and ordinary thief from Ghornia, Egypt, gained access to a secret passage leading to the corpses of pharaohs. Ahmed Abdul Rasool used to steal and sell antiques. One day he was walking along the banks of the Nile at Tabisa when he discovered a secret passage for stealing. There he was digging for antiquities when he was apprehended by some people and handed over to authorities.
When the path leading to the place where the thief was digging was continuously excavated, in 1891, along with other mummies, the body of the same drowned Pharaoh was also found. These mummies were taken to Cairo by experts.
When these mummies were examined in detail, the layer of salts on the mummy of Pharaoh confirmed that it was the same Pharaoh whom Allah had drowned in the water with the worst end. It was a huge event that archaeologists and scientists from around the world flocked to Egypt to confirm. After conducting various scientific tests, scientists from all over the world confirmed that only the corpse of Pharaoh had a layer of sea salt, as compared to all the other corpses. After this confirmation, it was declared the body of Pharaoh and preserved in the museum.
When Pharaoh's mummy began to deteriorate in 1982, the Egyptian government of that time requested the French government to prevent Pharaoh's mummy from deteriorating and to find out the cause of his death by modern scientific means. The government arranged for Mummy to be taken to France,
When Pharaoh's body was flown to France, the French president himself was present, along with senior government officials, all ministers and army officers, at the airport to receive the Pharaoh's Mummy.
Pharaoh's body was greeted like a great living king, saluted by troops. Pharaoh's mummy was handed over to a team of specialist doctors. The team was led by Dr Maurice Bucaille. Microscopic tests of all the parts of the mummy revealed that sea particles were still present in his body and that the cause of death was drowning.

The death of a king by drowning was a surprise to Dr. Maurice. When he tried to find out more about this mummy, he found out that the circumstances of the death of this king are recorded in detail in the book of the Holy Qur'an which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
He reached the Middle East out of curiosity. He was a scientist. He met a Muslim scientist in this matter. This scientist opened the Holy Qur'an and recited the verses 90-92 of Surah Yunus word by word. Pharaoh's claim to divinity, his drowning and then his body being mummified and completely hidden from the world till thousands of years, and then reappearing of his body again, and then his body studied by scientists and then to be adorned in a museum. The allusion to these events was one-sided and very clear.
"I will make you a sign for those who will come later."
Pharaoh's body has been preserved and placed in front of the world in such a way that it is in a pitiful state in front of the eyes of billions of people on a single click of the internet, in magazines and journals, on TV channels and in museums,for a lesson, for thinking that worthy of worship and everlasting is He Who is the Creator and Sustainer of all. When Dr. Maurice Bucaille heard the translation of the verses, he immediately Said, "Allah is true, the Qur'an is true, and Allah's Prophet Muhammad PBUH is true," and became a Muslim. After that he wrote a famous book "La Bible, le Coran et la Science" (The Bible, the Quran and Science ).
