Description
The Hyksos: The History of the Foreign Invaders Who Conquered Ancient Egypt and Established the Fifteenth Dynasty From approximately 3100 BCE until around 1075 BCE, ancient Egypt was ruled by 20 different dynasties. However, a mysterious foreign group, known as the Hyksos, conquered Egypt and established the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties, ruling for centuries with an enigmatic presence. For centuries, the Hyksos rule over Egypt was shrouded in half-truths and myth, with some mistakenly associating them with the biblical Israelites. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that Egyptologists shed fresh light on the Hyksos, revealing details about their origins and rule in Egypt. This new understanding shows that although the Hyksos were initially foreign, they eventually became gradually more "Egyptianized" themselves. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Hyksos, including ancient Egyptian accounts and online resources for further reading. With a bibliography to support your research, you can gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating period in ancient Egyptian history.
