No evidence, though, that the Hebrews worked as slaves for the Egyptians. In fact, it is know widely recognized that the pyramids were built by paid laborers who were organized into work groups who took pride and ownership in their contributions to the pyramid that they built.
The Egyptians were masters at erasing their own history. Pharaohs would blot out anything they disliked or went against the things they believed. The 25th Dynasty was headed by black Pharaohs (Kushites), when the Egyptian people took back their kingdom they erased everything about the black Pharaohs that they could find, names included. The Bible however was outside their control and in it is mentioned a black Pharaoh by name, oh goodness the Bible more realistic in telling history than those Egyptians that erased or rewrote history. How are we to trust Egyptian history when we do not even know what is reality of history of the rewrite of history to suit a Pharaoh's pride.

It's much, much more than that. If the Hebrews were in Egypt, then there would be some archeological evidence of that, and, indeed, there is none, an untenable proposition, as there should have been some artifacts from just outside of Egypt, from the Hebrews leaving. Again, find me a scholar who takes the Exodus story at face value who is not also a Biblical inerrantist (an absurd position equivalent to Holocaust denial), and post their findings and/or reasons here. All the evidence is that the Biblical narratives were written much later than was traditionally believed and underwent layers upon layers of redaction and modification up until and even beyond the 1st century of the common era.
