Marianne:

Evidences I pointed to in an earlier message included that the pharaoh gave 
Joseph an Egyptian name, that Joseph’s wife was the daughter of a priest of 
an Egyptian god, not a Semitic god, that apparently Joseph lived some 
distance from the Delta and so forth. You may not consider it “beyond a 
doubt” but all the clues, taken as an aggregate, paint a pretty strong 
picture.
