But Exodus doesn't specifically claim that the Jewish slaves built the pyramids, but rather that they were slaves working in MUD and STRAW ... (hence the complaints about their working materials) while the pyramids were built BEFORE the Jewish slavery of solid rock.
Thus why do you assume the ancient Jews weren't making generic "buildings" for the Egyptians masters/owners?
Because I'd like to see some evidence that they were even there at the time of the Exodus, much less as slaves.
I don't care one way or the other. I've already rationalized the early books of the Bible as oral history passed down and written. It has nothing to do with my religious beliefs. If it turned out to be true that the Exodus story was exactly as written, it wouldn't bother me.
I think I'd be pleased.
But I do prefer the facts to speak for themselves, rather than for some traditional belief to be accepted as truth, just because it has been for years.
