Who was hyksos?
Nonsense. The Hyksos were Asiatics. They invaded Egypt and were thrown out by Pharaoh Ahmose I in 1600BC. There was a suggestion that said that the Hyksos meant the Shepherd Kings, but that is not true. The word comes from He-Kasus, in Egyptian, which means Rulers from foreign lands. And the theory that said that they were the Hebrews is false. No evidence sustains this hypothesis. Alas, there is little on the Hyksos today for the simple reason that the Egyptians who fought against and won the Hyksos, have understandibly erased almost everything on them. It is supposed so because apparently their rule was harsh. But it remains unsure. I myself have been reading a lot on Egypt recently thanks to 2 interesting writers: Christian Jacq(trilogy of the Queen of Freedom) and Wilbur Smith (River god, the warlock.The latter I haven’t read yet.) The latter author made the same mistake about the meaning og Hyksos. But otherwise it’s an interesting piece of fiction.
