If the Exodus of the Israelites occurred early in the 13th dynasty, then the Israelites would be the best candidate to be the slaves that produced the mud bricks for the 12th dynasty pyramids and the Labyrinth. The Bible itself tells us that the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians and forced to produced mud bricks reinforced with straw.

Houses and many other structures were also made out of mud bricks. A Jewish historian by the name of [[Josephus]], who lived around the time of Christ, records that "The Israelites were given the task of making pyramids".
