Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -And it is a myth, make no mistake. Even if we take the earliest possible date for Jewish slavery that the Bible suggests, the Jews were enslaved in Egypt a good three hundred years after the 1750 B.C. completion date of the pyramids. That is, of course, if they were ever slaves in Egypt at all.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their legal situation was not clear; they were not a separate and closed social group. They were treated as people and had the right to private property. “There were even cases of slaves marrying Egyptian women!”-the Egyptologist notes. This means that they were not stigmatised or commonly despised.
