How many years were the Hebrew children slaves in Egypt?
The Israelites lived in Egypt for a total of 430 years:-
Exo 12:40
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Exo 12:41 And it came to pass at the endof the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:42 It [ie Passover]is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
Exo 12:43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover:
The Israelites were enslaved ("afflicted") 400 years:-
Gen 15:13
And he [God] said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed [descendants of his son Israel, ie Israelites] shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Gen 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
This means that for the first 30 years the Israelites were treated well, but not for the remaining 400 years.
To get a brief account of events , read the summary in Acts chapter 7 : ( the entire account is basically from Genesis 15 to Exodus 15, so Acts is much shorter ).
(1). God prophesied that the then-childless Abraham's grandchildren and their descendants would be enslaved and oppressed for 400 years (verse 6).
(2). One pharoah showed favour to Joseph by making him Prime Minister of Egypt (verse 10).
(3). The Israelites grew in population (verse 17) .
(4). Another pharoah "arose who did not know Joseph" after Joseph died (verse 18; Exodus 1:8) This pharoah did not know Joseph personally: it does not mean that he did not know of Joseph at all, let alone his greatness and achievements, because he died at 110 (Genesis 50:26) and was embalmed. (You don't embalm someone you don't know of).
(5). Joseph died at 110, and he was about 40 when he was elevated to power and brought his father and brothers to Egypt, so he died about 70 years after the start of the sojourn in Egypt.
(6). It helped to understand things when it was discovered by scholars and historians that Joseph was made Prime Minister by one of the non-Egyptian Hyskos pharoahs, who were hated by the Egyptians and later thrown out of Egypt by force. Joseph reminded this pharoah of Egypt's subjugation and humiliation by the Hyskos foreigners, and this pharoah did not want to know this Hyskos-appointed Joseph.
(7). Moses was born 80 years before the end of the slavery of the Israelites (verse 20, 23, 30, 36.)

Act 7:32 saying, "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." But Moses trembled and dared not look.
Act 7:33 Then the Lord said to him, "Loosen the sandal on your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."
Act 7:34 "I have seen, the affliction of My people in Egypt, and I have heard their groan; and I came down to pluck them out. And now come, I will send you into Egypt."
Act 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? God has sent this one to be a ruler and a redeemer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the Bush.

What were ancient Egyptian boats made from?
Early Egyptians learned to make small boats out of the papyrus plant. They were easy to construct and worked well for fishing and short trips. Most of the papyrus boats were small and were steered with oars and poles. The typical boat was long and thin and the ends came to a point that stuck out of the water. Eventually the Egyptians began to make boats from wood. They used acacia wood from Egypt and imported cedar wood from Lebanon. They also began to use a giant sail in the middle of the boat so they could catch the wind when heading upstream. The Egyptians built their wooden boats without nails. Boats were often made from a number of short planks that were hooked together and tied tight with ropes. Steering was accomplished by using a large rudder oar at the back of the ships.
