my main problem with the hebrews is there no record of hebrews ever being slaves in Egypt
however there are records the hebrews were used as mercenaries by the Egyptians because they were nomadic warrior tribe
the bible mentions the hebrews building the city of Ramses, but the city was renamed that it by the Pharaoh it was already built before
and of course the last pyramid built predates the bible and they singular thought of Religion
Observe and others have brought this up before, and I look at it like this. The Bible IS the record of Israelites being in Egypt, but I know many people won't/don't accept that. But let's think about this, if a nation had slaves working for them, why would they specifically need to put in their records who the slaves are. They are obviously viewed as being inferior somehow (hence them being slaves), so why would they need to add a title to who they exactly are? Israel is right above Egypt, so it would make sense that Egypt enslaving them would be highly possible. Also, we all know the story of God bringing plagues and destroying most of the Egyptian Army in the Red Sea, so why would Egypt want something as embarrassing as that in their records also? Plus, just because records are not known/having been discovered yet, doesn't mean they don't exist.
