What inaccurate historical factoid do you just go with? - Lemmy.world

Jewish slaves build the pyramids.

They were build by Egyptians, probably out of loyalty to the pharaohs.

Man, this one is infuriating for me, and I’m Jewish.

It’s like we based an entire religion out of this lie - every aspect of the old testament is riddled with exodus references.

Was Egyptian slavery of Jews not a thing at ALL?

It probably was at some scale, but it’s just not attested. And it certainly wasn’t the entire nation..

The Babylonian exile on the other hand is attested. That was more like a royal hostage situation than slavery though, the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem and took the nobility back with them.
