the Egyptians embalmed ALL their Pharoahs, not just Menerptah. Therefore, there was nothing unique about him being "saved in body" because ALL Pharoahs were "saved in body". That disqualifies what Muhammad said about him as being a "prophecy." It was known all over the Middle East that ancient Egyptians excelled in the art of embalming/mummification. Muhammad just stated an interesting fact about mummies.
The Christian missionary is claiming that the "Miracle of Pharaoh" is not a miracle that his body was saved because Egyptians were masters in embalming the dead and all the bodies were saved not just Remesis II ( or the Pharaoh which Quran mentions ) He also says that it is possible that Muhammad went to Egypt since he was a trader and learned about that the Egyptians were masters in embalming so he just added in his book.

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims." (10:90)
So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless (10:92)
his body was drowned in sea, and for his body to be sign for future generation; his body shall remain intact and not harm by animals of the sea or bacteria decomposing body. till the period body got extracted to land.
