The wonders of the ancient world that one would find in Egypt are the Great Pyramids of Giza, which were built durig the century prior to 2500 BCE. Notice that date.
Supposing that the ancient Hebrews really were slaves in Egypt they could not have arrived before about 1800 BCE, as they are portrayed in the Bible as leaving Egypt in 1440 BCE after a 400 year sojourn there. By the time of their arrival in Egypt, the pyramids were already quite ancient. No serious historian would believe the ancient Hebrews had any part in building the pyramids.
In fact, the clear consensus of historians is that the Hebrew nation was never in Egypt, there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, and no conquest of Canaan. They say that the Israelites were actually rural Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities and settled in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.

Over time, the league evolved into an Athenian empire, with Athens exerting significant control over its members, which led to tensions and conflicts, notably the Peloponnesian War. Ultimately, the league's initial intent of mutual defense shifted towards Athenian dominance and expansion.
