Maybe there was slavery of the Jews in Egypt and a man named Moses who helped lead them to freedom, but if that's the case, the story, as it is told, is exaggerated to make a point.When will people get it through their heads that the Egyptian empire included all of the Levant area to the Tigris River? That means that it included what's now known as Israel, supposedly the home of the Israelites/Hebrews/Jews.
