So where is the diode in this circuit? what in your mind keeps the narritive flowing the way you describe it, and not allow the narritive back feed the whole circuit you just set up?

Meaning what one way plot devise are you using that has egypt influence the jews and not the semitic transplants influencing the egyptians? (remember back then they where egyptians by birth right and not jews.) 

It would be like saying all white caucasian american have influenced or 'white washed' all other races that have come to america to adopt an american culture...  Rather than admitting that american culture was deeply impacted by all the different cultures that intermixes with it. otherwise white america would still be speaking with the same lame european accents their fore fathers used!

What makes your story a egypt influenced the jews only and not the jews influenced the egyptians.. keeping in mind there were no jews till after the 40 years which was after the mass exodus. from a historical stand point it was light skinned egyptians with semitic heritage against native darker skinned egyptians, and if the bible is right the semitic egyptians would have outnumbered the native egyptians 2:1 at one point which would mean their primary beliefs of egypt would be that of the semitic 1/2 of egypt, just like the bible says.

you lost or do you get what I am saying?

The early Hebrews were never slaves under the Egyptians. There is no evidence of a mass exodus by Jews from Egypt.

The fact that the OT mentions such a myth, says to me the early Hebrews, which were merely a splinter sect of the Canaanites were aware of the Egyptian mythology, and creating a underdog story to compete with, and eventually defeat the old Egyptian mythology.

so what i just showed you via the biblical text that they where considered to be egyptian citizens up until the exodus. do you not know the story of joseph? for hundred of years God's people where egyptians till pharaoh decided they were getting too many in number and decided to cull all the males born of a certain age. EVEN IF THE JEWS where not slaves it does not mean light skinned semitic blooded egyptian citizens where not considered to be equals to the darker skin people.. Sound familiar? can you draw a parallel yet between skin color of ancient times being a deciding factor and social placement for people in a country in modern times?

Stupid people look for jews or israelites in egypt as slaves during the period from which the pyramids where built.. again they where not jews until the time of the law which was after the exodus they where not israelites till after their conquering of the holy lands. during the time of the pyramids they where egyptian citizens. a low class egyptian citizen, well skilled and educated... kinda like the darker skinned guys at home depot who sit out side looking for side work. They were crapped on by main stream egyptians (dark skinned) but never the less good for building projects as they again where not jews but born and bred egyptian citizens!
