Some think there could be a connection between the Hyksos and the Israelites. The Hyksos are definately documented in Egyptian records.

They were probably Semitic invaders who conquered lower Egypt (forming the 15th dynasty) and were overthrown by the native Egyptian Theban kings. Of course, Biblical literalists would have a problem with that.

The Hyksos are a semitic people but not Jewish and well before the time of Moses. They came with bronze weapons and chariots and forcibly introduced Egypt into the bronze age.
