An even more convincing reason for discarding this hypothesis is that almost all scholars now say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible. Without an Exodus Moses, the leader we read of in the Bible, did not even exist.
That was the Biblical god of Abraham, not a Egyptian god or goddess.
According to the Biblical historical record they were treated well until 'there arose a king that knew not Joseph.' (Exodus 1:8)Then they were enslaved and also there was a decree that all the male children were to be killed. Interestingly, in one of the cities where slaves were employed in building work, an interesting archaeological discovery has been made. Hidden under the floor of what was the residences of the slaves were many graves of babies. Inscriptions on the wall also refer to the hard labor of the slaves. So, the treatment of the Jews varied according to which era is being discussed. There is some debate around the revision of the chronology of the Egyptian Pharaoh's. But Thutmose III is believed by many to be the Pharaoh who enslaved the Israelites, followed by Amenhotep II when the Exodus occurred. Interestingly, Thutmose was known to have been a great builder.

Archaeological finds since the nineteenth century have provided us with an insight into the cultures and religious beliefs of the nations around ancient Israel. By studying these, we learn of ancient myths about the creation of the world, the great flood of Utnapishtim and many other beliefs similar to the biblical stories. From these ancient beliefs, biblical scholars believe they can learn the origins and evolution of the earliest biblical stories.
StoneAnswer:The Egyptian pyramids are made of limestone blocks, weighing up to 15 tons. In the Great Pyramid, granite monolith blocks were used in the interior which weighed up to 70 tons per block. - ShaniAnswer:Every text ( and old Biblical epic movie) reports that the pyramids were made of limestone blocks positioned by thousands of slaves but Joseph Davidovits (a French Cemical Engineer) proposed, in the 1980's, that they were made of concrete. The lower tiers were done by the sweating slaves method, but the higher layers were made by workers carrying bags of wet cement to moulds.MIT is actually reviewing this proposal by duplicating the theorized Egyptian cement mixture.
According to the Biblical narrative, Pharaoh's failure to release the Hebrews from bondage resulted in the Egyptian people suffering from the Ten Plagues.
