did the Egyptians really enslave the jews

[Copt]

the jewish texts and by extension the old testament all claim it happened but there's no historical evidence it actually happened on the scale described in the text
and we don't even know which pharaoh actually enslaved the jews if it did happen

The Old Testament is historicall evidence

im talking about the exodus
also the Bible specifically says a "pharaoh who did not know of Joseph" did it
also, if the jews were being exiled from Egypt how were they kept as slaves? this has kept me up for the past few days. I don't think the Bible is real because of this discrepancy.
