It would be considered blasphemy for all cultures back then to have slaves even touch something as sacred as a tomb. The pyramids were built by Egyptian workers, not slaves.
The exodus never happened.
Both Israel Finkelstein, working from the Israeli side and Donald Redford working from the Egyptian have concluded that these tales were concocted in the 7th century BC.
They served political propaganda purposes and had precious little to do with any fucking god.
