Evidences I pointed to in an earlier message included that the pharaoh gave
Joseph an Egyptian name, that Josephs 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.
