There is no evidence at all of the israelites ever being in Egypt. The Egyptians kept detailed records of their everyday lives, but never mentioned the Israelites. There is no archaeological evidence of large-scale Hebrew presence in Egypt, nor of the 40 year sojourn in the desert, nor of the conquest of Canaan. The respected Israeli archaeologist Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars believe that the slavery and Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt did not really happend as described in The Bible.
The Israelites were not enslaved in Egypt, politically, physically or spiritually. The story of Moses and the Exodus arose centuries after the time the events supposedly occurred.
