Torah scrolls burnt

The reason why there is no existing manuscripts from the time of Moses is, all the Torah scrolls were burnt.

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the LORD." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. (2 kings 22:8)

Rashi Commentary

I have found the Torah Scroll. It was hidden under a layer of stones where they had concealed it when Achaz burned the Torah.¹  According to II Divrei Hayomim 34:14, this was the original Torah Scroll written by Moshe. God had commanded Moshe to write this Scroll at the end of his life. See Devarim 31:24-26.

Ahaz nullified the Templeservice and sealed the Torah, prohibiting its study, as it is stated: “Bind up the testimony, seal the Torah among my disciples” (Isaiah 8:16). Manasseh excised the mentions of God’s names from sacred books and destroyed the altar. Amon burned the Torah and sacrificed a gecko, an impure creeping animal, upon the altar. ( Talmud Sanhedrin Daf 103b)

There were five events that happened to our ancestors on the seventeenth of Tammuz and five on the ninth of Av. On the seventeenth of Tammuz: The tablets were shattered; The tamid ( offering was cancelled; The [walls] of the city were breached; And Apostomos burned the Torah, and placed an idol in the Temple. ( MISHNAH Mishnah Danes Chapter 4)

The Gemara further asks: Anddoes anyone who performs one mitzva in addition to his other merits have goodness bestowed upon him in this world? The Gemara raises a contradiction from a baraita: Anyone whose merits are greater than his sins is punished with suffering in order to cleanse his sins in this world and enable him to merit full reward for his mitzvot in the World-to-Come. And due to this punishment he appears to observers like one who burned the entire Torah without leaving even one letter remaining of it. (that would be Apostomos) (Talmud Kiddushin Daf 39b:5)

On the seventeenth of Tammuz the tablets‏ ‏were broken [by Moshe Rabbeinu upon‏ ‏seeing the golden calf], the Tamid [twice-daily] offering ‎ceased, the city‏ ‏‎[Jerusalem] was breached, Apostomus‎‏ ‏burned the Torah and an idol was‏ ‏erected ‎in the sanctuary. ( HALAKHAH There Orach Chaim, Siman 549:1)

On the ninth of that month the Temple was burned and the Torah with it. (Rabbeinu Bahya, Bamidbar 33:38:1)

And the city of Jerusalem was breached at the [time of] the destruction of the second Temple. And Apostimos burned the Torah and set up an image in the [Temple] chamber. (Arukh HaShulchan, Orach Chaim 549:3)

Therefore the Sages relate that when the Torah scroll was burned by the Romans together with Rabbi Chanina ben Teradyon, the letters flew off and only the parchment was burned (Avodah Zarah 18a). Similarly, in the pogroms of Poland thousands of Torah scrolls were burned (MUSAR Kav HaYashar Chapter 102)

Interestingly, the rabbis admit the scrolls of the Torah were burnt by the Romans. MUSAR Kav HaYashar Chapter 102 to save the embarrassment tries to cover the story by saying the letter flew off? Sorry sir such story wont work with us.

If you don’t believe the Torah which Moses wrote was not burnt, then where is it now? In fact, you don’t have to go as far as showing us the Torah scrolls which Moses wrote on, just show us the Septuagint manuscripts copied by the Hebrew (note the original Septuagint manuscripts not copies of copies). Again, Christians will fail to show us the original scrolls written by Moses or any of the original Septuagint manuscripts.  

Now lets get back to the verse which says

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the LORD." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. (2 kings 22:8)

Notice how the high priest said he found the “Book of the Law” in the temple? Now why would that be such a big fuss if they had multiple copies of the Torah with them? unless they didn’t have the Torah with them, then it’s a matter of urgency to declare such a discovery. Thus, the Torah was already gone burnt and somehow this one survived withing the pillars of the temple and rediscovered later to be lost again.
