A lot of the Old Testament political history does get borne out. Still no evidence of the Hebrews in Egypt, but how many cultures keep careful records of their slaves.

There have been slave communities found with remnants of the materials and pieces of bricks made as described in the Bible.

“Still no evidence of the Hebrews in Egypt...”

According to Professor Cyrus H. Gordon, who liked to dig around in the Middle East, literally, there is plenty of evidence of the Hebrews in Egypt.

There is some; not very good.

A bill of sale from one merchant mentions Semitic slaves (but they could be any Semitic tribe), some Hebraic “spell books” involving snake magic from the general period, that sort of thing.
