The pyramids are not mentioned in the Bible. Israelites had as much to do with their construction as they did the creation of the Great Wall of China.
Also, jew chronology is wrong. Their date to creation is too short, because they truncated the age of some of the patriarchs and removed some from the list altogether.
Jew chronology doesn't exist as Erase99 says. The Hebrews presented a cliff notes version of the creation story that was common in the area at the time. No, men did not live to 900 years old. That's bad record keeping.
The Hebrew origin story tells their understanding of the world only thru their perspective. Their historical account only focuses on themselves. It does not give political insight or history on the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians.
There is little talk of the accomplishments of other nations in the Old Testament. The Babylonian Gardens, the Pyramids, the Colossus of Rhodes. They likely didn't know of them, maybe they did, but mentioning them would diminish their own stories.
The people of the Old Testament are not as important as the message of the New Testament. In the Old Testament, only the Hebrews could be good. Yet there was the good Samaritan. The New Testament pivots away from the importance of a particular tribe and focuses instead on the gentiles and the saved Israelites that accept Jesus.
If you take the Old Testament literally, you're going to believe in some whacky things.
There is zero evidence that the book of exodus actually happened anyway. In terms of its whole massive plagues and escaping slaves stuff that pop culture has made it into.

That's really the main thing, isn't it. I find it incredibly hard to believe they would have gone unmentioned.
