How do you know they were real people? It's not a myth? How do you know it happened 3300 years ago? How do you know the timeline of Jewish history? Are you talking about real history or the Jewish version of their history?
To us it's not "their" or "they". It's "our" and "us".

Because my rebbe told me, and his told him, and so on, going back in a well documented chain to mount Sinai. We Jews are good at record keeping.

Let's bring your question to more current to how do we know William Shakespeare ever existed since based on the writing styles used there is still a controversy on his existence or the writngs being made by a group of people.

Some of that is right on the tip of my brain, I can make out a little of the Hebrew letters, but it has been a while, I keep putting it off for other pursuits...I keep a journal on my progress, my aim is to read and understand in the original...but, to assume I can't isn't proper...

There was no assumption. It was more of a statement to show that those in the 90% catagory (outside of Israel) can to some degree read another language with understanding compared to some percentage of the other 10% who mostly can't.
