whats up w the huge 10,000bc prehistoric nubian battleground graveyards referenced in the start of this video? pretty good video ua-cam.com/video/WXUiVLBifpk/v-deo.html
Every peoples that enter the steps seems to grow, multiple and become smarter and stronger. One at a time the tribes migrate on to power. It seems like first summarians, greek then maybe indus . Them hettites later Mongols and turks. Hyksos is a mixed multitude just like the Bible says.
@@cryptolicious3738 - Maybe, just maybe, they're a REAL World thing? Yeah, I think that might just have something to do with it. But you're right in one respect, 10,000 BC sounds just a little early, even when discussing ancient Egypt.
People falsely claim they were Phoenicians, Minoans, even Celts. I believe Manetho and Josephus though. All the evidence points to them being Levantine or at least having come through the Levant into Egypt. The Hebrew names from the area are also identical to Hiksos royalty. 99% percent of the time tracing languages gives us the key.
The implication of this is that the Egyptians, burning with embarrassment after the Israelite God nuked their sorry society, rewrote their own records to portray Hebrews as invaders.
Its a mixed multitude . We just can't properly call someone something before they officially arise. Until the exodus there pirates the Hebrew form are just as biblical constant says. Alphabetical exodus is always right around these mixed multitudes
No different than how I witnessed a new tribe publicly form as a child that we now call Palestinian. Its a mixed multitude that hasn't even formed its own unique dna that can be pointed at. It can generalized at best borrowing all neighbors
All these academic docs begin, "Those dudes in the past were very unenlightened, but I'm gonna tell you the real deal, trust me". In 25 years the next wave of docs will say "Those dudes in the past..."
Yeah click bait. I only watched this because it said DNA and I find DNA evidence in archeology to be the most useful evidence. Strontium study is subject to too much interpretation to be of significant value. Also he says there is little evidence on the Hyksos but them goes on for 10 minutes speculating as to who they were. You have what you think is the capital, then you have written records and unlike the Egyptian records that are biased and propaganda /censored then you have useful data- what did they call themselves, what do they say is their history. Also note by definition and Empire is a multi ethnic government. If the Hyksos were not invaders then they may have migrated in or were there for a long time. maybe this was not a capitol but a trade port for trade caravans along the way from Sumer.
The term "Hyksos" is derived, via the Greek Ὑκσώς (Hyksôs), from the Egyptian expression 𓋾𓈎𓈉 (ḥḳꜣ-ḫꜣswt or ḥḳꜣw-ḫꜣswt, "hekau khasut"), meaning "rulers [of] foreign lands".
Rami Bakkar - Cool Greek (with aspirates), hieroglyphics, and Egyptian-Latin transliteration! - naive question from a digital ‘Luddite’: how do you get these?
@@dorianphilotheates3769 The Hekau-khas were priestly rulers (judges) of the kushites (Egyptian Kushite kings). This was a theocracy government and worshipers of the original deity Set, as the first son of the great mother, which was ancient genetrix. gyazo.com/2f9cea7314378491bda2e630ab5a5d09 - This title describes Set as the Great One (Ur, Wr) of Divine Words, Incantations, Ritual Speech or Prayer (Hekau). In the ceremony called the "opening of the mouth" in Egypt, the tool called Ur-Hekau is used in order to open the mouth of the deceased so that he/she may be able to communicate with the Neteru. Therefore, the hieroglyph 'Kha-Set' represented the desert lands (Amenta) of the God SET such as those in west Africa (Mauritania-Libya, respectfully Phunanit [Punt] and Thehnu) to South-East Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia Somalia) gyazo.com/6c92ef2ac033fd3814a5835b6a2bae6d - Another name for Nubia (Kush) was 'Ta-Seti' meaning "Land of Bow" and 'khasti-t' = gyazo.com/fd6a84f412bea3e8462e6db7d46bca2c Research Center concurring that the name Heka Khaset is referred to Nubians in the oldest term. And they were descendants from the the kushite who ruled pre-dynastic. In fact, the kushites are the same people who ruled Punt (horn of africa), Nubia (sudan) and Kamet (Egypt) and early Mesopotamian empires. With that said, the Hyksos are a people from the same ancient Egyptian stock, and the famous invasion was simply a religious restoration of the pre-dynastic ways that existed prior. Thus, the god Set (Sut, Sutekh) then became worshiped as the chief deity once again like in the Predynastic Period. They were Hyksos (Priestly Kings of Set) within and outside of Egypt. Unfortunately the Heka Khaset was not driven out of Egypt but usurped due to ignorance of the dynastic Egyptian. History is a witness to the declined of nations and customs as the dynastic Egyptian viewed the Pre-dynastic Egyptians as evil; Later the Hebrew (another sect from the ancient kushite/egyptian) viewed Dynastic Egypt as Evil, Christians viewed the Hebrew as evil, Muslims viewed Christian as Evil and now the religious world view the ancient ways as evil. All a domino effect in history.
What I have always wondered about this is just what happened to the Hyksos after they were overthrown? If 'native' to Egypt, were they then subjected to cultural eradication? If invaders, where did they go and what became of them?
The elites fled back to K'nan and some of the plebs stayed in Egypt, albeit with a lower social standing. They always flee back home after they ruin their host nation.
I think a lot of them stayed behind given the genetic testing of 151 mummified ancient Egyptian individuals from Abusir el-Meleq who lived between 1388 BCE-426 CE all had genetic afinities with bronze age Near East populations.
Well done, this really say alot about Egypt as well, it appears the ancient ppl might of looked different than the Hyksos. Which means the physical look of Egypt might of changed as well. Good unbiased information.
Just a bit of grammar I think you meant ....ancient ppl might've.... rather than ...might of.... and ...Egypt might've... This is a common mistake these days as the way we speak is sloppy and 'might've' as the contraction of 'might have' often sounds like ' might of'. I have seen this error in an otherwise interesting video about bronze age pottery by a London University student. It does not seem to be corrected by English teachers these days.
I remember reading of a Greek man who was turned into a donkey. At some time in the story, he was passed by a group of over 300 who were accompanying a princess to Egypt to be married to the king. With such a flood of foreigners coming to stay, it is not hard to imagine a grave yard of foreign women from outside Egypt.
If you ever remember what man it was or what princess, let me know, I want to read that story. I am extremely interested in that period of history. I've been doing some research to find which Pharaohs were Greek. It could be the Hyksos due to the dating, but it could have been earlier than 1700-1550 BC.
@@malakaspawt3190 I am sorry. That book was something I picked up in the 1960's, and it was old then. The Greek rulers followed Alexander the Great into Egypt. They were called the Ptolemies after Gen. Ptolemy. Cleopatra was of that line.
@@arailway8809 No problem, I understand! I am really fascinated by history, so I wanted to know more about it. Oh, so it happened during Alexander the Great's time? I thought it was older, because of the donkey part.
@@malakaspawt3190 I need to clarify this. The story of the Greek that became a donkey had little context. Being a Greek did not mean he was in Greece or Egypt. But he crossed paths with that group going to Egypt. I would assume that large a group was coming from the east. There were few states west of Egypt that could have supported such a large group. Good hunting,
Sir, have you ever compared Book of Genesis and Sumerian List of Kings? One Polish student proposed this theory after his findings. It looks like first 10 Biblical patriarchs are equal to 10 pre-flood "kings of Sumer", with 7th (Enoch) and 10th (Noah) being the same character for sure in every known version of the story. Also "kings of Sumer" after the flood match the list of patriarchs between Noah and Abraham.
Everything in the Bible should not be understood as literal... They have different,deeper meaning and wisdom if we go through the symbolism of the biblical stories...of course there are historical touch to it but they are mostly myths and legends...
A lot of biblical stories are re telling of more ancient stories. The story of the flood is obe such. Incidentally a few years ago we saw pictures of huge floods in an area of Pakistan. There was water from horizon to horizon. If it had not been for modern technology which could show that these floods, huge and devastating as they were did nit cover the whole world but they did cover the whole world of the poor people living there. So the ancient stories of the whole world being flooded were true for the people who endured occasional similar catastrophic floods. That little kernel of truth in our myths and legends.
@@helenamcginty4920 the story of the flood in the bible mostly likely originates from the sumerians. The Tigris and euphrates rivers have unpredictable patterns of flooding and changing directions. In the epic of gilgamesh, utnapishtim is tasked by the God enki to build a ship to preserve all life from a great flood. It this story could likely be referring to a flooding of the 2 rivers wiping out the "world" of the Mesopotamia. The grain of truth which Noah and other characters are based off of could easily be a resident of a city who loads his live stock on a boat and survives a devastating flood from their city
This makes perfect sense as Abraham is the character who leaves Mesopotamia and travels to the Levant and Egypt. Later biblical figures are sometimes compared to historical Egyptian rulers as well.
@@toddthompson5718 There were c.a. 20 Egyptian pharaohs bearing the name "Moses": Ka-Mose, Dedu-Mose, Ah-Mose, Thut-Mose, Tut-Mosis and most of those names ocured several times.
yea his theory is not well grounded. The reason there were mostly women is because they migrated from war stricken places and the men were dead. the original hyksos were asians from the far east, the second group are the israelites.
No, the Hyksos were NOT the Israelites. I thought so myself because Josephus knows what he's talking about 99% of the time, but in this case, Manthon got it wrong and confused him, cuz the meaning in Egyptian was not Shepherd kings, it was rulers from foreign lands, and also he didn't get the timeline back then, and now we know it doesn't fit. Hyksos were Canaanites, probably the Jebusites, Perizzites and the Sinites dwelling in the Sinai desert that migrated to Egypt. The Pharaoh meeting with Abraham in Genesis was from Hyksos dynasty.
The Hyksos are not the Israelites. The Israelites are a myth grafted from the historical Hyksos, Habirus and the leper rebellion against Amenophis by Osarseph
@@xyAKMxy Nope. No signs of a "cultural takeover." Egypt was always multicultural just like the US. Diversity is always only a strength, not a weakness.
@@Ken_Scaletta I didn't mean it in the sense of "one ethnicity came to rule and the other ethnicity was segregated", that's not what I meant. I simply meant that, as the balance of power changed in the region, the "new" leaders decided to secede, knowing that the majority of the population would be in support of such an action. I know it sounded otherwise but I wasn't trying to bring up ethno-racial arguments to the table when I said that there was a cultural takeover, I was just trying to understand what led to this secession and why it was the hyksos. The whoke story implies that there was either an invasion or, as the video suggest, a regular influx of migrations which ended up into a slow cultural shift of the region (and a shift in loyalties).
@@Ken_Scaletta I do not believe that you see the difference between real multiculturalism and a multi-ethnic society. Old kingdom Egypt may have consisted of more than one ethnic group, as it was an empire of sorts and subjugated some of its neighbors, but it can hardly be considered multicultural until we near the end of the bronze age. Would you say that Rome was always multicultural because of some captured Greeks or Phoenicians? Would you call the British empire multicultural due to its subjugation of India? Your statement is shallow.
Vedic aryans related to mittani and other invaders of the same era. Created the solar cult of Ra (Surya) displacing the native cult of Osiris for primacy. Later transformation as the children of Israel (according to Josephus) presumably after deposition. Moreover the early hyksos engaged in horse burial custom which is an ancient indo aryan practice. Obviously they mingled with the predominant semitic gene pool of the region but were a dominant caste in both egypt and the levant.
Vedic Aryans are Hindu... Aryan is not a race. Sanskrit word meaning noble.. that's a concoction of European..the British....Germany..etc.egyptians were also Hindu Kush...
wrong. I bet that you couldn’t produce one shred of evidence to support the bs that you posted here. Ra is a god with origins in the south near the Sudan. You’ve got it all twisted! There was no aryan influence in Nile valley civilization. Nile valley civilization is the mother classical European civilization.
Interesting vid. Theory of foreigners already living in Egypt rising to rule makes sense to me. Also interesting that Egyptian women rarely married foreign men but that it was ok for Egyptians men to marry foreign women such as the Hyksos. Very interesting indeed
I don’t believe that the Hyksos were the Israelites, but rather the catalyst that led to the latter’s enslavement. The Israelites/Hebrews first entered Egypt when it was under Hyksos control. Once the Egyptians expelled the Hyksos, they turned on the Israelites, whom they had associated with the Hyksos, and forced them into a state of servitude as a result. Just a theory though.
Kanaän people migrated to nile delta multiple times in the bible. During Joseph (West asiatic descent) migration happend, e.g. his family was allowed by Egyptians to live in the land Ghosen in the Nile delta. Later his family (or perhaps other immigrated families from west-Asiatic descent) grew so big in numbers that it became problematic by the rulers that they were frightened that these People became dominant in Egypt. Therefore they ordered that all male babies should be thrown into the Nile river (Moses story). This can explain why a large portion of female west-Asiatic descent were there at some point. I'm not trying to pursuade to believe what I say, but apparantly the bible story regarding Egypt fits quite well
I ask all those who are interested in ancient history and politics to start group work centered on 3 specific topics. 1. The Turkic Mongolian origin of the Akkadians 2. The Akkadian Amorite origin of the Hyksos 3. The off shoots of the expelled Hyksos since 1523 bc. I consider the 4 off shoots of the Hyksos are 1. the Hebrews, 2. The Mitanni, 3. The Kassites, and 4. The Mukarribs. These groups turned to Jews, Kurds, Babylonians and Sabaeans after the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC Another fourth topic of extreme importance the disguised and devastating alliance between Thutmose III and the Hyksos off shoots, which characterized the rest of the second half of the 18th dynasty until general Horemheb ended that dynasty
I would say this fits the biblical narrative of the vizier, Joseph, son of Jacob bringing his family in from the east because of the great drought. They were "Semites", descendants of Shem, and also called "Hebrews" because they were descended from Shem's son, "Eber." They were farmers and shepherds. Joseph, of course, was awarded his high status because he was able to interpret the Pharaoh's dream and save Egypt from a terrible drought of 7 years (which has been determined to be true by examining the archaeology). Joseph was sold into slavery to the caravans passing through the area headed to Egypt. So, yes, I agree the area was a heavy trading center where peoples from all over the world came to buy and sell. Joseph was unjustly imprisoned for 17 years, but his gift of interpreting dreams freed him from prison, and thus was able to save his family as well from starvation from the drought. The time period is interesting. Genesis states the children of Israel lived in Egypt approximately 400 years up until the Exodus circa 1560 BCE. What great even also happened during that time? The eruption of Mt. Thera which is what's left of the Island of Santorini, today. Thera erupted and changed the landscape and movement of peoples every where in the Mediterranean region. As you noted, the area was suddenly abandoned around 1550 BCE. That aligns nicely with their "exodus" out of Egypt back into their mother land. Many other scholars agree that the Hyksos were the Hebrews. I never did agree with the narrative that the Hyksos violently invaded Egypt. They were invited in.
You are very right about this, Even in Quran God stated that 1. Pharaoh is a literal name not a title, 2. pharaoh's people were not Egyptians, God made distinction between Egyptians and Pharaoh's people (hyksos) in many verses.. 3. at the time of Joseph Quran States the ruler of Egypt at that time as king but in Moses's story Quran states the ruler as pharaoh. 4. Egyptians never ever in the historical records called them selfs as pharaohs..
But the Qur’an is really accurate. The Egyptian pharaoh was not described as a king except during the period of Joseph Ibn Jacob.. I think that the ruling dynasty at the time was not Egyptian, and after that they were expelled and the Egyptians returned to using the term “Pharaoh” and we see the story of Moses with this pharaoh. These fine details are interesting, and we should take the Qur'an as a good reference for researching more about the history of Egypt.
Josephus Flavius says that the Hyksos were the Israelites. He calls the Hyksos ‘our people’. Manetho (via Josephus)says that Hyksos can also mean Shepherd King. And since the title is spelled with a shepherd’s crook, he is probably right. This is why the Israelite patriarchs were called shepherds. This is why later (after the exodus) Joseph told his people not to mention to pharaoh that they were shepherds (ie: Hyksos), because pharaoh would kick them back out of the country. This had nothing to do with sheep, and everything to do with the Israelites being the Hyksos. See book: Tempest & Exodus. R
You are right we know it in India too old name of Israel was Bisrael and Bisa s India are called Bania this word has come from Ban means a ship and tell them selves from isvaku ancestry that is equivalent to Hyksos in Greek or Coptic language on which they call selves as Gupta too and they are not a business class just like Jews
Interesting, thtat goes much farther in detail as in the Seventies and Eighties when I was haevily studying this topic. Valuable, elder studies usually described the Hyksos as " THE LAST WAVE OF THE so called SEA POPLE " as I had known so far. So I see your article as a valuable improvement of my knowledge.
Did they challenge the isotope (carbon14) with DNA and match ? Invasion does not mean only using weaponnery, but closer also relating to actual sub-saharian immigration in Europe, considered as an Invasion. Did Joseph of the Bible belong to the Hyksos/Heqa /Avar ?
Europe population is dying bro, it time for black, we will resurrect a culture better than ancient Egypt on your people demise, then we will enslave them Arab for an eternity. Sub Saharan Africa population will be more than a billion by 2100, Europe will be below 300 million. All of you will pay for your ancestors sins it's been a long time coming, better hope them Indian are your allies, because we and them have no trouble. Hopefully we can have the neanderthal gene remove for good, we will finish the work of our homo sapien ancestors.
Well done! I am of the opinion that Manetho was wrong about a foreign military invasion of Egypt by the Hyksos. Rather, as noted in this video, the Hyksos peacefully emigrated to the Delta. most probably by ship, from the Levantine coastal areas (Coastal Canaan, the Lebanon, and Syria (the Ugarit area and its sea port). The Hyksos temples at Tell el Daba resemble temples in northern Syria. A Hyksos seal shows Baal-Zephon striding over the tops of two mountains, with a ship holding several men. I suspect this seal is recalling the Hyksos' origins: They came by ship from the Levantine coastal area and its mountains in today's Lebanon and Syria. Over time, this by sea, influx into the Delta, allowed these Asiatics to assume control and rule as Pharaohs, aping Egyptian customs. The Theban Pharaohs, fearing the conquest of their slice of Egypt, by a powerful Hyksos Dynasty, engaged in war the Hyksos, driving them from the Delta, back to their homelands, by land, via the way of Horus to Gaza, thence to the Lebanon and Syria. For 400 years the Hyksos' Asiatic realm was an Egyptian Empire (1530-1130 BC). The Iron Age I settlers of Canaan and Moab were probably the Hyksos' descendants, reclaiming their ancestor's heritage when Egypt withdrew circa 1130 BC from Canaan. I suspect that Flavius Josephus (ca. 70 AD) was right, the Hyksos Expulsion (ca. 1530 BC) was the Egyptian version of Israel's Exodus. The Iron Age I sudden appearance of villages in Moab and Canaan, near the Jordan River, is the Hyksos' descendants coming from the Lebanon and Syria, to reclaim their Hyksos ancestors' heritage.
I don’t buy the idea of women migrating to the region for marriage. That doesn’t track with anything in all of human history. More likely is complete cultural migration, met with resistance, and a high proportion of foreign males killed in battle and therefore not represented in the samples collected in this study.
Women migrated to early America from Europe to marry as the country began to be developed. Most of the women who were already in America were either Native or African. So European women were encouraged to migrate to the new country to snag a husband. Not only that, but later on men sent off for Mail-Order brides from Europe.
@@marielaveau6362 In that context, what you're describing is two a stage migration: initially males followed by females from the same culture. That's not what was described in the video.
Of course. Its so much more likely that these woman were widows, slaves, the booty of war. Even in the last century the Japanese used comfort woman the normans early in there settlement kidnapped females, the British sailors on the Bounty took a large group of Tahitian woman as brides to Pitcairn island. There are countless examples of woman being used in this way. Rise up girls all you need now is a trigger finger.
The fool never even mentioned that Hykso's brought bronze weapons, horse and chariot, fortifications and more. That would be hard to do without being from the outside. Unreal.
Could they be related to the proto-hebrews (the habiru people maybe) who moved into Egypt, rose to power there and later were expelled back into Canaan?
Hyksos were northen Arbians who attacked Egypt in the time of drought and famine.after holy Joseph gave the answer of the dream to the hyksos king.Afer that the family of the prophet settled in Egypt. Hyksos king gave half the kingdom to Israeli people.they also married with each other.hyksos were defeated by the Israeli people. Egyptian cheated Israeli people and captured all of Egypt.then the attack of Mugdo ,cannan.
I think, and I could be wrong ... is that those who became the Hyksos, were on Ziusudra's (Enki's son), Noah's Ark...if you read The Kolbrin, it details who, were on the Ark, and what they knew how to build ... what trade they had, like building "Chariots?" The Hyksos brought Horses and Donkey's into Egypt.
Could it be that the women are forced into Egypt after their majority of their male were slaughtered by the Egyptian army? This brings to mind the Story of Moses.
🤦🏻♀️the Hyksos were black Hebrew Israelites. They were called Shepherd Kings. They were not yet a nation. There’s records in Egypt that they left Egypt, went in to the wilderness and settled in a land called Judea.
Hi Thru ancient civilizations,it always been counterparts. Time is speeding up,changing will be inevitable. We are all connected and we are not alone. Cordially
I love when you want to know "what happened" from a modern historian, and the first thing they do is give you a long list of wrong things that didn't happen. Annoying.
It is the custom when presenting new information to first go over the assumptions that have been around for so long they have become 'facts' that are now being challenged.
For real, if he just came out and said the Hyksos originated in Hykztlan and ruled Egypt after they were the first to shout “thou shotgun” within sight of the Great Pyramid, we’d have no reason to believe he had even considered other theories.
Unfortunately this is all speculation and assumption. They assume the Avaris people were the Hyksos. Male to female ratio is no proof of invasion or non invasion. If a whole people invaded it is likely that a huge portion of men would be killed on battle and burial sites of post invasion settlements would be female dominant. It was common at the time that surviving males would have multiple wives.
So if Hyksos were in the delta for that long.. then this throws a wrench in everything we know about the upper and lower Egyptian divide. Could Egypt since the first dynasty have been this diverse? Closer inspection of the Narmer palette, we can observe the differences in the way southern are represented next to the subdued northerners..
The Delta Egyptians were closely linked to the Sumerian culture. Since the united Egypt of the day was interested in cooperation rather than brutal conquest, the south probably allowed the north to continue many of its cultural traditions.
That's a street H the Amalekites the descendants of Esau were Caucasians. The artefacts of the Hyksos depicted them as dark brown Israelites aka black people. Nice try to fob Amalek on us 😆
@@guineverejackson1201 He is actually exaclty right. The Amalekites lived at the border on the southern border of Judah. They were a Sea People. Primarily this people identifies with Eurasians ... a Genetic Albinism trait within the Mongo Timurid Empire. These people don't have a lot of vivid history as "Amalekites" but they have a Tone of History as the "Philistines" and the "Timurids". MOSLES CHINESE PEOPLE :) What's happening is the CHINESE rulers wanted their posterity removed from biblical accounts because it depicted them as SLAVES and SERVANTS unto AFRICA and PHARAOH... When he states related to the Canaanites, i believe he means geographically the Phoenicians.
The Shepherd Kings arrived during the time of Joseph who saved the known world from a world wide famine and was raised to second in power to Pharaoh Djozer. Joseph (Imhotep) and his family of descendants became so powerful the Egyptians became worried thus led to their persecution and slavery then eventually the exodus. It’s all so simple
An interesting theory. It's important to try and imagine how groups view themselves and others from their perspective. If true, the Hyksos in northern Egypt probably saw themselves as Egyptian albeit with more recent memory of migration from a homeland(s) they had never seen (like modern day Americans) but to the native Egyptians (or those who had migrated into the area much much earlier) the Hyksos were forever outsiders who usurped power out from under them - again like the US where Americans from earlier immigrants who look with disdain at newer immigrants. Unlike Native Americans, the Egyptians were able to drive out or at least assume control over these "immigrants" driving out the "foreigners" and those who remained became "Egyptian" (except perhaps for one obstinate group that clung to their ways...)
Americans? As in the people in America 30,000 years before 1492 and still here now? Or you meant US Citizens of European decent? Because the citizens of the USA are not officially called Americans. They are US Nationals or US Citizens. Americans are everyone in America from Alaska to Chile. The original people in America are Americans and are not from Europe or Africa. So you meant European US citizens who assimilate into a generic European culture in the USA.
@@adrianalainez8499 your logic is shit. As could argue white American are the only true Americans.

Doesn't mean other races aren't American European American is not even a used term. What a waste of time
@@TheMagicJIZZ You're an idiot because Americans are the people already in America before 1492 and the people you call Hispanic now. Those are Americans. Europeans aren't Americans. And if you want to describe a European born in the USA he's a US citizen or US National. No where in the Declaration of independence or the Constitution or any speech made by the founding fathers does it say Americans to describe their citizens. That term started to be used in the 1880's. Before that everyone know that the name of the country wasn't America it was the United States. The Union. In what continent? America. And your Vespucci stupidity doesn't work. So Africa can be Africa and the people Africans right? They accept that right? Even though the Romans called them that not the people themselves. And just Tunisia was Africa not the Continent. But it's the term used now. So America and Americans in the end have nothing to do with Vespucci. If the continent is America the people are Americans. If you are from Europe than Europeans. And yes you should use European American because the only people who can use American alone without a hyphen are the true Americans the people already here when the Europeans arrived. And most Americans are magically called Hispanic just because they speak Spanish but have zero connections to Spain which is European. But Africans speak English and aren't British or Britonic right? You can't erase an identity and impose another. Not everyone are sheep. You're fake news.
@@adrianalainez8499 Europeans literally named this land “America” Lmaoooo natives are less than 1% of the population of the United States and most central and many South American populations are mestizo. No human beings are native to this land we just arrived at different times and it’s highly debatable who arrived first. The “Clovis first” those years has been blown out of the water! So if you occupied a land then lost control of it, then it was conquered, repopulated and renamed how do you then lay claim to said conquered lands?!

I appreciate the notion of discussing a scientific research paper, but this video was disappointing.

That was every bit as exciting as I always figured it would be to listen to someone read an academic paper. Maybe next time you can up your game by reading the footnotes too. They are always a hoot.
There is a fundamental flaw in the conclusion of this study. This study aims to dispute Manetho's claim that the Hyksos forcefully invaded Egypt based upon 1) the presence of Asiatic peoples in the city before Hyksos rule and on 2) the absence of evidence for fighting and destruction at the city of Avaris. Just because there is no archeological evidence of fighting and destruction at the city of Avaris does not mean that there is not evidence of fighting and destruction at other cities in Egypt. In fact, it is logical to assume that due to a large portion of the population of Avaris already being ethnically aligned with the invading Hyksos forces, that they could have also been politically aligned with them as well. It is possible that during this time of political unrest in the country, the inhabitants of Avaris opened their doors to their Western Asiatic kinsmen, and allowed them to set up their base/hub in their city peacefully. Other cities further south, however, may have been forcefully overtaken and subjugated by the Hyksos. Also of note, according to Manetho, there was a large number of native Egyptians living amongst the Hyksos during their rule, and these natives formed the bureaucratic arm of society, while the army was made up of Asiatics. This does not mean that other native Egyptians in the kingdom were on board with Hyksos domination of their country, and many of them did resist the invasion. 100 years after the Hyksos invasion, Seqenenre Tao, who was possibly Nubian in origin, initiated a resistance campaign against the Hyksos to unite Egypt, which was completed by his son Yahmose. The fifth-column like behavior of the mixed multitude of inhabitants of Avaris may have angered the southern Egyptians so much, that when the regained control over the whole country, they expelled the entire population of the city, as alluded to in the video. It is possible that this mixed Asiatic and African population ended up in the area of the Levant.

As The Encyclopedia Americana (1956, Vol. 14, p. 595) says: “The only detailed account of them [the Hyksos] in any ancient writer is an unreliable passage of a lost work of Manetho, cited by Josephus in his rejoinder to Apion.” Statements attributed by Josephus to Manetho are the source of the name Hyksos. Interestingly, Josephus, claiming to quote Manetho verbatim, presents Manetho’s account as directly connecting the Hyksos with the Israelites. Josephus, it seems, accepts this connection but argues vehemently against many of the details of the account. He seems to prefer the rendering of Hyksos as “captive shepherds” rather than “king-shepherds.” Manetho, according to Josephus, presents the Hyksos as conquering Egypt without a battle, destroying cities and “the temples of the gods,” and causing slaughter and havoc. They are represented as settling in the Delta region. Finally the Egyptians are said to have risen up, fought a long and terrible war, with 480,000 men, besieged the Hyksos at their chief city, Avaris, and then, strangely, reached an agreement allowing them to leave the country unharmed with their families and possessions, whereupon they went to Judea and built Jerusalem.-Against Apion, I, 73-105 (14-16); 223-232 (25, 26). In the contemporary writings the names of these rulers were preceded by titles such as “Good God,” “Son of Reʽ,” or Hik-khoswet, “Ruler of Foreign Lands.” The term “Hyksos” is evidently derived from this latter title which is a non related word. Egyptian documents immediately following their rule called them Asiatics. Regarding this period of Egyptian history, C. E. DeVries noted: “In attempting to correlate secular history with the biblical data, some scholars have tried to equate the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt with the Israelite Exodus, but the chronology rules out this identification, and other factors as well make this hypothesis untenable. . . . The origin of the Hyksos is uncertain; they came from somewhere in Asia and bore Semitic names for the most part.”-The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, edited by G. Bromiley, 1982, Vol. 2, p. 787. Since Joseph’s elevation to power and the benefits it brought Israel were by divine providence, there is no need to seek some other reason in the form of friendly “Shepherd Kings.” (Ge 45:7-9) But it is possible that Manetho’s account, actually the foundation of the “Hyksos” idea, simply represents a garbled tradition, one that developed from earlier Egyptian efforts to explain away what took place in their land during the Israelite sojourn in Egypt. The tremendous effect on the country produced by Joseph’s ascension to the position of acting ruler (Ge 41:39-46; 45:26); the profound change his administration brought, resulting in the Egyptians’ sale of their land and even of themselves to Pharaoh (Ge 47:13-20); the 20-percent tax they thereafter paid from their produce (Ge 47:21-26); the 215 years of Israelite residence in Goshen, with their eventually exceeding the native population in number and strength, according to Pharaoh’s statement (Ex 1:7-10, 12, 20); the Ten Plagues and the devastation they wrought not only on the Egyptian economy but even more so on their religious beliefs and the prestige of their priesthood (Ex 10:7; 11:1-3; 12:12, 13); the Exodus of Israel following the death of all Egypt’s firstborn and then the destruction of the cream of Egypt’s military forces at the Red Sea (Ex 12:2-38; 14:1-28)-all these things certainly would require some attempted explanation by the Egyptian official element. It should never be forgotten that the recording of history in Egypt, as in many Middle Eastern lands, was inseparably connected with the priesthood, under whose tutelage the scribes were trained. It would be most unusual if some propagandistic explanation were not invented to account for the utter failure of the Egyptian gods to prevent the disaster God brought upon Egypt and its people. History, even recent history, records many occasions when such propaganda so grossly perverted the facts that the oppressed were presented as the oppressors, and the innocent victims were presented as the dangerous and cruel aggressors. Manetho’s account (over a thousand years after the Exodus), if preserved with some degree of correctness by Josephus, may possibly represent the distorted traditions handed down by succeeding generations of Egyptians to account for the basic elements of the true account, in the Bible, concerning Israel in Egypt. Honestly any attempt at making the Term Hyksos as a People who ruled or overtook and ruled Egypt is based on Literal Nonsense and wild conjecture anyways. And more Evidence points to the sojourning years in which Joseph being the first of a long line of Israelite Magistrate or "Shepherd Kings(Hyksos) " along with the ruling Pharaohs after Djoser as Manethro urged would have more a bases in fact.
Hyksos was a mixed multitude just how the Bible explained the exodus then isrealite origin.semites are buried in the mix so is many other peoples races. It appears to be something like Spartacus movement where pirates or poor raids gathered more ans more as the wave migrated threw the ancient world . Those who would later become phillistines most likely brought the culture of cremation with them thus its few to no burials to study . But we know it was many different peoples ,mycenean, cannite,sumer,hititte ,nubian etc.
1. Hebrew settlers in Hut-Waret/Avaris either rose up against the Egyptians for independance. Their defeat probably inspiring the story of the Exodus. or 2.The Hyksos could have been The Amorites a semitic people from the levant/Syria who invaded from the East.
wow,,, that was a lot of talking to basically describe the story of the Israelites (herders) flight to Egypt,setteling in goshen (Avaris) rising to power then leaving.
I was surprised when Nick said some people claim there weren't black Egyptians. That is less informed than saying there weren't white Egyptians. It's in Africa. Of course there are black Egyptians. But the Narmer Macehead shows a white king receiving a black queen. And if you get in a biracial person's face and demand to know if they are black or white (because you're behaving like a racist), the answer is both. They are white and they are black and no amount of attempting to reduce them to either is going to change that. But if we ever do get off the sauce of our apparently inescapable racist tendencies, Ancient Egyptians could teach us a thing or two about race. They handled it beautifully and we handle it like a ragey child.
Being African doesn’t mean you’re black that’s like saying if you’re Asian you’re Chinese’s despite their being many ethnic groups in Asia. North Africans and sub Saharan Africans look different from one another.
Hyksos are Phoenicians or Hebrews who originally sprung out of Dilmun. They ended up in the region known as Canaan, and from there they made their way down south to modern-day Egypt. Avaris, the city, may originally have been a trade outpost, sort of like Carthage in its original state, but grew rapidly in size and importance. The exodus is essentially the tale of the expulsion of the Hyksos, albeit with reversed roles to garner sympathy and for storytelling reasons. The Hyksos/Phoenicians learned a valuable lesson from their expulsion, and that was to, in their future endeavors of empire-conquering, not rule with fear and impunity, as it was a recipe for disaster. Rather, one should do it covertly, preferably with a front, and with a healthy dose of amicable behavior towards one's subjects.
since the "hyksos" introduced both horses and chariots into Egypt, I suggest it was the indo euorpean Steppe nomads, (having both horses and chariots for something like 600 years prior) to have led the invasion force.
i mean both aryans and hykos migrate/invaded literally in 1500's BC and they both have those same behavior of war and what i notice is after hyksos invasion the new era of ancient egypt begun and it is called the new kingdom era, the first king of hyskos chopped the head of the last pharaoh of 2nd intermediate period and the cranial structure of that poor king is negroid (strangely) after that the next pharaohs are all caucasoid, blond, red, brunettes, even there is a huge grave consist of red and blond haired mummies from the new kingdom era, are they actually hyksos? the pharaohs of the new kingdom and all mummies from the new kingdom? is the new kingdom population were actually indo european? slavery in egypt also started after hyksos era
Ghengis Khans mongo empire rode horses, they were the most dominant empire in battle with horses. The Turks 0f Syria combined with the Hyksos Khans "Lords" as subservient servants and built chariots as they did in Egypt for pharaoh. Asiatics did the Building the Hebrews were dumb as rocks they love to throw.
The Hycsos were of Asian Semitic descent very similar to some people who lived in Egypt around the time of their rule, the Israelites. They ruled actually closer to four hundred years from just before Abraham to about 100 years before the great Exodus of the Israelites. The Hycsos recognize the Israelites as people like themselves Asian semites. This is how Joseph rose to power and prominence in Egypt during the time of the Israelites living in Egypt. When the Hycsos were driven out of power this is how the Israelites became enslaved in Egypt and led to the Exodus via Moses as recorded in the book of Exodus.
@@andrewmarkmusic according to Jewish history which apparently those people are smarter than you The Exodus occurred about 1500 BC led by Moses. Even Egyptian history records The Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
@Thom Bradley: I hate telling you (actually, I love telling you) that the commenter above is correct. There was no exodus as described in the Bible. That event is folklore, not history. There are many reasons to so conclude, but here are a few to chew on: Had over 650,000 slaves -- not counting the children -- abruptly departed Egypt, its economy would have collapsed, and the event would have been roundly noted by the Egyptians (who kept copious records), as well as by their neighbors. But there is no record anywhere of any such event or any such collapse. In fact, the reign of Ramses II, traditional Pharaoh of the Exodus, was one of great prosperity and construction. It could not have been so in the absence of so much of the work force. Had that many people spent 40 years in the dry, preserving environment of the desert, they would surely have left abundant evidence of their sojourn. But despite decades of fervent, even desperate digging, no associated tools, pottery, charcoal, coprolites, skeletons, or other detritus have been found. Nor are they ever likely to be. The promised land (Canaan) to which Moses purportedly led the Israelites was in fact an Egyptian protectorate at the time, replete with garrisons -- not a likely destination for a people seeking freedom. The consensus of scholars is that the event described in Exodus is a foundational myth, pieced together centuries after the events it purports to describe as a way of creating a national identity. The story does have much power and inspirational force, but history it is not.
@@gordonbartlett1921 thank you for your input. However Jewish history does clearly show The Exodus out of Egypt around 1500 BC. Some of us do find Genesis to be historical fact. Some of us are smart enough to know that we didn't evolve out of great uncle monkey. The Exodus is an historical fact. If it wasn't then there's no reason for the Jews to be celebrating Passover for 3500 years.
And I can tell you don’t know what you’re talking about!Where are you learning your history from?Kings of the 19th dynasty did not rule from avaris! Ramsess originated from lower Kmt! (Thebes)
@@andrelove4183 you idiot lower kmt is north upper is south. Thebes is south. Second you idiot i said the 19th dynasty pharoahs are FROM avaris. Meaning they were born there. Smfh
Do you think that this 77% of foreign women have something to do with the fact that you become a Jew if your mother is a Jew? I search for the origin of that tradition, but didn't find anything that would explain that phenomenon. As far as I know, Jews are the only nation to inherit from mother, not from father. Maybe this could be the reason. Women from Caanan taught their children in Egypt the caananite tradition and some of the next generation foreigners came to power as Hyksos. As we know, Moses was also raised in Egyptian home, who knows if his mother was a caananite princess.
Interesting that hyksos had diverse female ancestry, but not as much on the male side. It could be that Hyksos were slaves that rose up and took over, and reached out to their homeland for wives. On the other hand, they could have arrived anda taken over, but due to their polygamous tendencies, took all the local women and still needed more, so brought in a second wave, 70%, of foreign women for concubines. Male dominated society where lower caste men were probably not allowed to breed perhaps.
idk why this is simillar to how aryan migration happend, exact time and exact way of conquer, rape culture is from india where aryans rape all human female they found based on superstition reason or just simply aryanized all people at that time
Because it wasn’t an invasion there are depictions of Hkysos women coming to Egypt to marry wealth men, I forget but a recent study actually proved this
The native melanated skinned dominant people of Africa (today’s black peoples) from the land of Kenet (ancient Egyptians) civilised the Greeks in their earliest days and used them as mercenaries for the Egyptian armed forces. They also added them to the Egyptian navy. They respected the willingness to learn and intelligence so passed on knowledge thorough them. Egyptian surplus royalty and nobility from the polygamous families would travel across the Mediterranean to places like Greece, Italy etc for trade. The Africans brought their religion with them. They settled in Europe temporarily for a time. They even manufactured products for European markets. The Greeks absorbed the Kemetic culture and religion and modified them. It was because of the Greeks that Europeans worshiped African gods for a fact for a few thousands of years until Roman times. They just changed the names and adapted it to their own culture in similar ways as the Europeans and Romans took Christianity from Africans and near Eastern early churches to create a uniquely European brand of Christianity complete with a white Jesus Christ and marry poster family. The earliest version of the Madonna mother and child pose is still existing in a native African temple in Egypt that is older than Christianity and the Bible by at least 12,000 years. Black American tourists like to go there to learn their religious history these days. In the land of my direct ancestors ancient Kemet in Africa (Greek colonial name Egypt) everything is written in stones or scrolls and most of these knowledges are in European museum vaults and in the Vatican City in Italy for scholars to research and verify. Ramese the great also used Arabs or Semites as they were known in those day all the way to the gates of Babylon as his subjects, as mercenaries and porters for his armies and when he achieved what was the first ancient world peace after marrying the Assyrian princess he settled the Asians in a part of the Nile delta and gave them land. They were migrants granted citizenship and no one ever discriminated against them even when some of them were former enemies of the Africans. The descendants of these ancestors of some of the Arabs where the first people to completely do a state sponsored looting of all of the tombs in Egypt striping the dead of the valuables and gold and even the god of their Middle Eastern ancestors Rameses the great god of Kemet, (Egypt) and god of the Middle Eastern Arab world in his day was stripped almost nude into his wrappings and repackaged into a sack with his name written on it and thrown into a common grave with many other kings. These foreigners never truly assimilated with the Africans and they kind always assisted invaders to take Africa apart until the days of Islam when they succeeded in aiding the son of Salahudeen(who defeated the Night Templars to invade and kill every single native Egyptian and castrate the surviving male bloodlines of the commoners and then destroy their cities, temples and towns. They they then spent 20 years working very very very hard to erase the great pyramids but they were from an intellectually primitive race and lacked the technological capabilities and resources to completely destroy the great pyramids so they left the greatest wonder of the ancient world in ruins. They gave up because they couldn’t understand the pyramids and they were too primitive to even dismantle the stones. It was a technology so superior that mankind have never seen it’s like to this day besides other copies of its kind in similarly global cultures of the timeline after they were built. The ancestors of the Arabs wanted to erase all African symbolism so no African ever retake Kemet and permanently promote Islam in the region. Then they spent the next 700 years enslaving black Africans in the surrounding nations to be sure of erasing all Egyptian bloodlines both common and enslaved. But they didn’ know that the natives already began a series of waves of migrations to west Africa since the last 25,000 years and emptied 70% of North African native populations to West Africa since the dawn of the last global warming as the jungles died and the desert took over. Those surplus women came with a migration influx and invaders with their brothers, fathers and whole clans to resettle in the greatest and most fertile lands in the world in that timeline. They were nasty to the natives who fought back and they were great warriors once so they decimated the male populations of the foreigners in the battle fields only led by African women at times. That is the only explanation for multiple women who don’t match the men who died long before them. Eventually the Africans will take back control of their empire and evict most of these foreigners leavening those who were already local to remain.
An interesting video, thank you. Speculation: The strontium values would seem to reflect a recently settled non-local group 'sending out' for brides from 'the home land'. Wild speculation? Might one view the Hyksos as 'proto-Israelites'? While rightly not touched upon in this factual analysis when direct evidence is lacking I think it fair to wonder. One might imagine a group coming from the East and Levant, settling mostly in NE Egypt, importing compatriots, gaining influence and power, then finally being ousted by less than happy locals... possibly to escape NE (back) the the Levant. One might go further and wonder about the spread of monotheism in the near East, possibly a direct or as part of a general influence on the likes of Akhenaten. A rather familiar sounding story.
I’m betting the Hyksos came from the Northern European area specifically, khazaria and the caucuses , probably during an solar minimum event , ice age type conditions, driving them to migrate, with their dark ambitions and customs intact.
Egyptians said they were Canaanites who lived in the land of Goshen. Genesis 47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
A mixture of local egyptians, maasai, different sudanese tribes, different lybian tribes, greek tribes and hyksos etc. So hyksos were imigrants like the rest of Asia and Europe but came earlier. Could it be that the egyptians themselves was a mixture of all these People from the beggining but developed a different culture and language? Could be one more explination to the significant changes in the apperence of the population with time in those areas.
Egyptians defeated enemies in the Levant. Took their women to Egypt. After generations of mixing between Egyptian men and Hyksos women an influx of men from the Levant happened. The Hyksos were ready both in number and position to take power for a century. A possible explanation.
I think what will probably be proved to be true is that the Hyksos were in fact the Hebrews, the first of which must have been Joseph. He rose to a position of prominence second only to Pharaoh and he all but run the country. His fellow countrymen settled in the North of Egypt and over the next four hundred years they flourished and multiplied. By around the turn of the 18th Dynasty they had grown to a population of over three million, the Pharaoh at the time felt threatened by their growth and their expansion and he tighten his control over them. Moses returned to Egypt and asked for his people to be freed from bondage but his request was refused. The rest is history. A remarkable find laying on the sea floor of the Gulf of Aqaba, (Red Sea); suggests that the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus, of the Israelites from Egypt; could well have been Amenhotep I.
It does sort of fit the Biblical narrative, since they were descendants of Asiatics who had been born in the Delta region and inhabiting the area for generations.
We tend to think of things in the past as a composite, tight unit of time. But really the time line is very long and drawn out swath. The time from the Revolutionary War to today is a tiny percentage of the time Egypt existed BCE, The Levant was connected with Egypt culturally/genetically/economically for as long as Egypt existed and having people from the Levant in Egypt was as natural as seeing different nationals in places like the UK and USA today. It is only logical they were able at times to be influential periodically.
TL;DR: Hyksos skeletons have similar Strontium isotopes as locals, so the Hyksos had been living there for a while, and did not arrive as invaders. Women were more likely to have come from elsewhere.
(19 September 2023, 10:40 a.m.) Currently 1530 BC is a popular date for the expulsion of the Hyksos. This date does not align with a circa 1446 BC date for the Exodus based on 1 Kings 6:1 mention of 480 years from Exodus to the building of Solomon's Temple. Not very well known to many, however, two Egyptologists, who identify themselves as Christian Apologists, Professors James K. Hoffmeier and Kenneth A. Kitchen, independent of each other, toted up the number of years of rule from Joshua, the Judges, Saul, David, and Solomon, and concluded the Bible erred! It was not 480 years from the Exodus to the Temple's building by Solomon, it was over 600+ years! This 600+ years aligned the Exodus with the Hyksos period of Egypt! Despite this extraordinary finding, both Hoffmeier and Kitchen, then trashed this Hyksos alignment, opting for a 1260 BC Exodus based on the mention of a store city called Ramesses, built by the Israelites, which, for them is the city of Pi-Ramesses of Pharaoh Ramesses II.
This discussion angle was posited by W. Flinders Petrie, in the early 20th cen. as late as 1923. It was a gradual internal insurrection, rooted in governmental positions held by foreigners, and possibly a timed military action, as well. I do like your presentation, but I notice no modern Scholars usu. reference (audibly) the conclusions of past, major Scholars...when the recent work ISNT SO FAR from the past revelations.
anybody notice the same pattern with aryan migration to india? both migrated in approx. exact period (aryan migration into india on 1500 BC), both of them sounds very warlike tribe and as if they already planned all of this long ago
I think the Hyksos was actually "Hebrews". I think that they was the lost tribe of Israel. Relax ppl, this is MY PERSONAL OPINION, so don't attack me you bunch a weirdoes...
No attack coming from me! But just for the sake of sharing information, I did read an account once that suggested the Hyksos relied upon the Hebrews living in Egypt to serve as tax collectors. When the Hyksos were overthrown, the Egyptians wreaked revenge upon the Hebrews leading to their enslavement.
Poor people. Do you not know it is in the Bible who the Hick Sauce were? In Isaiah, it very VERY clearly says that "you went down to Egypt, and the ASSYRIAN oppressed you without cause". It also says that there "arose" a pharaoh who knew not Joseph. This was the Assyria taking control of the Goshen area. Most likely, everything in the Exodus occurred vs Hick Sauce rulers, and the Semitic Exodus collapsed their rule in that area, forcing them to retract. The Jews didn't have a hatred towards Egypt: on the contrary, they got in trouble for relying on them.....
There are royal Dynastic Egyptian mummies with red hair. There is a myth that an Egyptian princess founded Scotland (Queen Scotia according to Scottish legend).
Have you not read the story of the abduction of Io. All of the people in this story can be identified and it proves Syria-Palestine and Egypt was ruled by Greeks. Io the daughter of Inarchus was abducted and taken across the Thracian Sound in the form of a Cow and thus it was renamed the Bosphoros. After travelling around the Black Sea, Asia-Minor and Syria-Palestine she came to Egypt and gave birth to a son Epaphus who later became king. Epaphus kidnapped and was taken to Syria so Io went searching for him, found him and brought him back to Egypt and married the Egyptian king. Epaphus fathered Libya who by Poseidon was the mother of Belus the father of Danus and Aegyptus, and to Agenor the father of Cadmus and Europe. So lets identify who everyone was shall we. Io or "Ioun" {WA-NA} as Herodotus calls her was Beon (Khyan) 1667.5-1645.5 Epaphus was Pharaoh Apachnas (Apepi I) 1645.5-1626.5 Lybia was Libaia queen of Assyria c.1673 Agenor was Apophis (Apepi II) 1626.5-1596 Danus was Janins (Yakhuber) 1596-1571 {Wa-na-ka-DA-MA-(S)} Cadmus was Assis (Khamudy Aasehre / Ahmose) 1571-1546 {Wa-na-KA-DA-MA-(A)} and Europe was Yawrel which is also Israel and Epaphus was also Paphos in Cyprus ImWa-na-ka-da-ma-(s) is exactly the same name as Yahweh and Equash and Ectenes the name of the indigenous people of Greece prior to the Thera eruption who gave way to the Aeones or Ionians and Hyantes or Giants (Giant being Greek for earthborn GI antron) which is again another corruption of the name Ionians. And of course Yawrel is also corruption of Wa-na-(el) which becomes Europe. At least five Hyksos kings, Sheshi (Zeus), Nubuserre (Busiris), Seneferankhre Apepi I, Awoserre Apepi II, and Aqenienre Apepi III are proven to be the Greek kings Epaphus, Sarapis and Agenor. The founder of Hyksos was the Cretan king Cronos/Saturn. The name of Egyptian Pharaoh Wankare (Acthoes III) in Linear B is Wa-Na-Ka (number ONE derives from it) which is the same as the modern Greek word Anax or High King. We also know that Tutmeses written Djehutymes in Egyptian was Aegyptus after whom the Greeks named Egypt. From Jerome we know that Aegyptus reigned over Egypt in 1480 BC, 6 years before Danaus his brother ruled in Argos. According to the Low Chronology Tutmoses III begins his reign over Egypt in 1479 BC thus agreeing with Jerome. This is why the Egyptians told Alexander the Great he was the son of Ammon since Alexander was a descendent of Aegyptus the father of Lynceus, the father of Abas, father of Acrisius, father of Perseus, father of Alcaeus, father of Amphitryon, father of Herakles, father of Hyllus, father of Cleodeus, father of Aristomachus, father of Temenus king of Argos from whom Alexander was descended. The Greeks rulled Egypt continuously for over 1000 Years and also contributed to the invasions of the Sea People and the Hyksos and the 18th and 19th Egyptian dynasties which followed the Hyksos were descended from the Greeks. At the time of Perseus and Eumolpus in 1336 BC the Greeks had already established a colony in Egypt which was still there in the time of Herodotus in 440 BC.
David Rohl wrote about this very issue. The settlement of Avaris was abandoned before the arrival of the Hyksos. There seems to be a connection - Egypt had a major political economic and military decline and Avaris was abandoned in an overnight manner. The loss of labor in this agricultural center so weakened the Empire even further that the Hyksos were able to take over. The Hyksos could be any group of SW Semittes, Hittites, Cannanites, Philisteens, Minoans, Sumerians, etc. None of what is said disproves military or migratory invasion. Things like pottery and literature are cultural and trade related and don't give us info on who they really were. Today cellphones are everywhere but we're invented in the USA. That is not evidence that every where there are cell phones is proof of Americans being the dominant ethic group of the world.
(01 April 2024) Manetho has the Hyksos coming from Phoenicia. If he is right, I would favor Byblos, a port with Egyptian objects. Today Byblos is in Phoenicia. Donald B. Redford, an Egyptologist, noted the Hyksos were associated with a place called mount Bishri. This mount is in northern Syria. Manfred Bietak, another Egyptologist, has noted Hyksos temples and homes resemble those found in northern Syria, as does the pottery. Burial customs at Avaris also reflect North Syrian customs. The Bible has Abraham being of Harran, a site in Northern Syria. Israel's father, Jacob, is called a wandering Aramean when settles in Egypt. Some Bibles render Syrian instead of Aramean. So, the Hyksos' origins appear to be northern Syria, its sea ports, Byblos, Ugarit, Gebel Bishri, and Harran. The Bible

Every peoples that enter the steps seems to grow, multiple and become smarter and stronger. One at a time the tribes migrate on to power. It seems like first summarians, greek then maybe indus . Them hettites later Mongols and turks. Hyksos is a mixed multitude just like the Bible says.

@@cryptolicious3738 - Maybe, just maybe, they're a REAL World thing? Yeah, I think
that might just have something to do with it. But you're right in one respect,
10,000 BC sounds just a little early, even when discussing ancient Egypt.
People falsely claim they were Phoenicians, Minoans, even Celts. I believe Manetho and Josephus though. All the evidence points to them being Levantine or at least having come through the Levant into Egypt. The Hebrew names from the area are also identical to Hiksos royalty. 99% percent of the time tracing languages gives us the key.
Phoenicians are from the Levant aren't they?
The implication of this is that the Egyptians, burning with embarrassment after the Israelite God nuked their sorry society, rewrote their own records to portray Hebrews as invaders.
Its a mixed multitude . We just can't properly call someone something before they officially arise. Until the exodus there pirates the Hebrew form are just as biblical constant says. Alphabetical exodus is always right around these mixed multitudes
No different than how I witnessed a new tribe publicly form as a child that we now call Palestinian. Its a mixed multitude that hasn't even formed its own unique dna that can be pointed at. It can generalized at best borrowing all neighbors
They were most definitely Phoenicians or southern Canaanites. It's obvious.

Uhhh... strontium analysis is not the same as DNA.
The difference between buffs and professionals.
The Knave
Exactly! This was such a sloppy, pretentious video with a totally dishonest title!
Yeah click bait. I only watched this because it said DNA and I find DNA evidence in archeology to be the most useful evidence. Strontium study is subject to too much interpretation to be of significant value. Also he says there is little evidence on the Hyksos but them goes on for 10 minutes speculating as to who they were.
You have what you think is the capital, then you have written records and unlike the Egyptian records that are biased and propaganda /censored then you have useful data- what did they call themselves, what do they say is their history.
Also note by definition and Empire is a multi ethnic government. If the Hyksos were not invaders then they may have migrated in or were there for a long time. maybe this was not a capitol but a trade port for trade caravans along the way from Sumer.
The term "Hyksos" is derived, via the Greek Ὑκσώς (Hyksôs), from the Egyptian expression 𓋾𓈎𓈉 (ḥḳꜣ-ḫꜣswt or ḥḳꜣw-ḫꜣswt, "hekau khasut"), meaning "rulers [of] foreign lands".
Rami Bakkar - Cool Greek (with aspirates), hieroglyphics, and Egyptian-Latin transliteration! - naive question from a digital ‘Luddite’: how do you get these?
Means kings of Bedouins or nomads
Wrong. Hekau means magic and Khasut means people after the Egyptian ruler Khashta
Ahati Maat - No. Rami Bakker is correct.
@@dorianphilotheates3769 The Hekau-khas were priestly rulers (judges) of the kushites (Egyptian Kushite kings). This was a theocracy government and worshipers of the original deity Set, as the first son of the great mother, which was ancient genetrix.
gyazo.com/2f9cea7314378491bda2e630ab5a5d09
- This title describes Set as the Great One (Ur, Wr) of Divine Words, Incantations, Ritual Speech or Prayer (Hekau).
In the ceremony called the "opening of the mouth" in Egypt, the tool called Ur-Hekau is used in order to open the mouth of the deceased so that he/she may be able to communicate with the Neteru.
Therefore, the hieroglyph 'Kha-Set' represented the desert lands (Amenta) of the God SET such as those in west Africa (Mauritania-Libya, respectfully Phunanit [Punt] and Thehnu) to South-East Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia Somalia)
gyazo.com/6c92ef2ac033fd3814a5835b6a2bae6d - Another name for Nubia (Kush) was 'Ta-Seti' meaning "Land of Bow" and 'khasti-t' = gyazo.com/fd6a84f412bea3e8462e6db7d46bca2c
Research Center concurring that the name Heka Khaset is referred to Nubians in the oldest term. And they were descendants from the the kushite who ruled pre-dynastic. In fact, the kushites are the same people who ruled Punt (horn of africa), Nubia (sudan) and Kamet (Egypt) and early Mesopotamian empires. With that said, the Hyksos are a people from the same ancient Egyptian stock, and the famous invasion was simply a religious restoration of the pre-dynastic ways that existed prior. Thus, the god Set (Sut, Sutekh) then became worshiped as the chief deity once again like in the Predynastic Period. They were Hyksos (Priestly Kings of Set) within and outside of Egypt.
Unfortunately the Heka Khaset was not driven out of Egypt but usurped due to ignorance of the dynastic Egyptian. History is a witness to the declined of nations and customs as the dynastic Egyptian viewed the Pre-dynastic Egyptians as evil; Later the Hebrew (another sect from the ancient kushite/egyptian) viewed Dynastic Egypt as Evil, Christians viewed the Hebrew as evil, Muslims viewed Christian as Evil and now the religious world view the ancient ways as evil. All a domino effect in history.
Anyone who says the Egyptians never records of their defeats have clearly never heard of the Hyksos.
Yeh but it could just be propaganda
Didn't they... Like... Exclude them from all king lists tho
What I have always wondered about this is just what happened to the Hyksos after they were overthrown? If 'native' to Egypt, were they then subjected to cultural eradication? If invaders, where did they go and what became of them?
They probably assimilated into the population.
They were amorites from the east and they went back to there homeland known today as israel
The elites fled back to K'nan and some of the plebs stayed in Egypt, albeit with a lower social standing. They always flee back home after they ruin their host nation.
@@JENKEM1000 Who are "they"?
I think a lot of them stayed behind given the genetic testing of 151 mummified ancient Egyptian individuals from Abusir el-Meleq who lived between 1388 BCE-426 CE all had genetic afinities with bronze age Near East populations.
Well done, this really say alot about Egypt as well, it appears the ancient ppl might of looked different than the Hyksos. Which means the physical look of Egypt might of changed as well. Good unbiased information.
Just a bit of grammar I think you meant ....ancient ppl might've.... rather than ...might of.... and ...Egypt might've... This is a common mistake these days as the way we speak is sloppy and 'might've' as the contraction of 'might have' often sounds like ' might of'. I have seen this error in an otherwise interesting video about bronze age pottery by a London University student. It does not seem to be corrected by English teachers these days.

I remember reading of a Greek man who was turned into a donkey.
At some time in the story, he was passed by a group of over 300
who were accompanying a princess to Egypt to be married to the king.
With such a flood of foreigners coming to stay, it is not hard to
imagine a grave yard of foreign women from outside Egypt.
If you ever remember what man it was or what princess, let me know, I want to read that story.
I am extremely interested in that period of history.
I've been doing some research to find which Pharaohs were Greek.
It could be the Hyksos due to the dating, but it could have been earlier than 1700-1550 BC.

@@malakaspawt3190 I need to clarify this.
The story of the Greek that became a donkey
had little context. Being a Greek did not mean
he was in Greece or Egypt. But he crossed paths
with that group going to Egypt. I would assume
that large a group was coming from the east.
There were few states west of Egypt that could
have supported such a large group.
Good hunting,
@@arailway8809 Got it!
Sir, have you ever compared Book of Genesis and Sumerian List of Kings?
One Polish student proposed this theory after his findings.
It looks like first 10 Biblical patriarchs are equal to 10 pre-flood "kings of Sumer", with 7th (Enoch) and 10th (Noah) being the same character for sure in every known version of the story.
Also "kings of Sumer" after the flood match the list of patriarchs between Noah and Abraham.
Everything in the Bible should not be understood as literal... They have different,deeper meaning and wisdom if we go through the symbolism of the biblical stories...of course there are historical touch to it but they are mostly myths and legends...
A lot of biblical stories are re telling of more ancient stories. The story of the flood is obe such.
Incidentally a few years ago we saw pictures of huge floods in an area of Pakistan. There was water from horizon to horizon. If it had not been for modern technology which could show that these floods, huge and devastating as they were did nit cover the whole world but they did cover the whole world of the poor people living there. So the ancient stories of the whole world being flooded were true for the people who endured occasional similar catastrophic floods.
That little kernel of truth in our myths and legends.
@@helenamcginty4920 the story of the flood in the bible mostly likely originates from the sumerians. The Tigris and euphrates rivers have unpredictable patterns of flooding and changing directions. In the epic of gilgamesh, utnapishtim is tasked by the God enki to build a ship to preserve all life from a great flood. It this story could likely be referring to a flooding of the 2 rivers wiping out the "world" of the Mesopotamia. The grain of truth which Noah and other characters are based off of could easily be a resident of a city who loads his live stock on a boat and survives a devastating flood from their city
This makes perfect sense as Abraham is the character who leaves Mesopotamia and travels to the Levant and Egypt. Later biblical figures are sometimes compared to historical Egyptian rulers as well.

yea his theory is not well grounded. The reason there were mostly women is because they migrated from war stricken places and the men were dead. the original hyksos were asians from the far east, the second group are the israelites.

No, the Hyksos were NOT the Israelites. I thought so myself because Josephus knows what he's talking about 99% of the time, but in this case, Manthon got it wrong and confused him, cuz the meaning in Egyptian was not Shepherd kings, it was rulers from foreign lands, and also he didn't get the timeline back then, and now we know it doesn't fit.
Hyksos were Canaanites, probably the Jebusites, Perizzites and the Sinites dwelling in the Sinai desert that migrated to Egypt. The Pharaoh meeting with Abraham in Genesis was from Hyksos dynasty.
Hmmm interesting theory? 🤔
No your wrong
@@crestanburton8760 No, I am not, I am an expert on the subject, and this is no argument anyway...
The Hyksos are not the Israelites. The Israelites are a myth grafted from the historical Hyksos, Habirus and the leper rebellion against Amenophis by Osarseph
So Hyksos rule did not result in a multicultural society, but instead a multicultural society resulted in Hyksos rule?
I was thinking something like that, basically an ethnic minority became an ethnic majority and resulted in a cultural take-over of the region.
All Egyptian periods were multicultural.
@@xyAKMxy Nope. No signs of a "cultural takeover." Egypt was always multicultural just like the US. Diversity is always only a strength, not a weakness.
@@Ken_Scaletta I didn't mean it in the sense of "one ethnicity came to rule and the other ethnicity was segregated", that's not what I meant. I simply meant that, as the balance of power changed in the region, the "new" leaders decided to secede, knowing that the majority of the population would be in support of such an action.
I know it sounded otherwise but I wasn't trying to bring up ethno-racial arguments to the table when I said that there was a cultural takeover, I was just trying to understand what led to this secession and why it was the hyksos. The whoke story implies that there was either an invasion or, as the video suggest, a regular influx of migrations which ended up into a slow cultural shift of the region (and a shift in loyalties).
@@Ken_Scaletta I do not believe that you see the difference between real multiculturalism and a multi-ethnic society. Old kingdom Egypt may have consisted of more than one ethnic group, as it was an empire of sorts and subjugated some of its neighbors, but it can hardly be considered multicultural until we near the end of the bronze age. Would you say that Rome was always multicultural because of some captured Greeks or Phoenicians? Would you call the British empire multicultural due to its subjugation of India? Your statement is shallow.
Vedic aryans related to mittani and other invaders of the same era. Created the solar cult of Ra (Surya) displacing the native cult of Osiris for primacy. Later transformation as the children of Israel (according to Josephus) presumably after deposition.
Moreover the early hyksos engaged in horse burial custom which is an ancient indo aryan practice. Obviously they mingled with the predominant semitic gene pool of the region but were a dominant caste in both egypt and the levant.
Interesting. I liked your post and this is aligned with my hunches about the story. But would also like to read your sources.
Vedic Aryans are Hindu... Aryan is not a race. Sanskrit word meaning noble.. that's a concoction of European..the British....Germany..etc.egyptians were also Hindu Kush...

Interesting vid. Theory of foreigners already living in Egypt rising to rule makes sense to me. Also interesting that Egyptian women rarely married foreign men but that it was ok for Egyptians men to marry foreign women such as the Hyksos. Very interesting indeed

There is no foreign rule in Egypt until the Hyksos came in , Hyksos literally means Foreign rule
I don’t believe that the Hyksos were the Israelites, but rather the catalyst that led to the latter’s enslavement. The Israelites/Hebrews first entered Egypt when it was under Hyksos control. Once the Egyptians expelled the Hyksos, they turned on the Israelites, whom they had associated with the Hyksos, and forced them into a state of servitude as a result. Just a theory though.
I love it! Thank you guys for being so empirical. It can be dry stuff that's not "click-bait" but I think that's the point 💯
Kanaän people migrated to nile delta multiple times in the bible. During Joseph (West asiatic descent) migration happend, e.g. his family was allowed by Egyptians to live in the land Ghosen in the Nile delta.
Later his family (or perhaps other immigrated families from west-Asiatic descent) grew so big in numbers that it became problematic by the rulers that they were frightened that these People became dominant in Egypt. Therefore they ordered that all male babies should be thrown into the Nile river (Moses story). This can explain why a large portion of female west-Asiatic descent were there at some point. I'm not trying to pursuade to believe what I say, but apparantly the bible story regarding Egypt fits quite well
I ask all those who are interested in ancient history and politics to start group work centered on 3 specific topics.
1. The Turkic Mongolian origin of the Akkadians
2. The Akkadian Amorite origin of the Hyksos
3. The off shoots of the expelled Hyksos since 1523 bc.
I consider the 4 off shoots of the Hyksos are 1. the Hebrews, 2. The Mitanni, 3. The Kassites, and 4. The Mukarribs.
These groups turned to Jews, Kurds, Babylonians and Sabaeans after the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC
Another fourth topic of extreme importance the disguised and devastating alliance between Thutmose III and the Hyksos off shoots, which characterized the rest of the second half of the 18th dynasty until general Horemheb ended that dynasty
I would say this fits the biblical narrative of the vizier, Joseph, son of Jacob bringing his family in from the east because of the great drought. They were "Semites", descendants of Shem, and also called "Hebrews" because they were descended from Shem's son, "Eber." They were farmers and shepherds. Joseph, of course, was awarded his high status because he was able to interpret the Pharaoh's dream and save Egypt from a terrible drought of 7 years (which has been determined to be true by examining the archaeology). Joseph was sold into slavery to the caravans passing through the area headed to Egypt. So, yes, I agree the area was a heavy trading center where peoples from all over the world came to buy and sell. Joseph was unjustly imprisoned for 17 years, but his gift of interpreting dreams freed him from prison, and thus was able to save his family as well from starvation from the drought.
The time period is interesting. Genesis states the children of Israel lived in Egypt approximately 400 years up until the Exodus circa 1560 BCE. What great even also happened during that time? The eruption of Mt. Thera which is what's left of the Island of Santorini, today. Thera erupted and changed the landscape and movement of peoples every where in the Mediterranean region. As you noted, the area was suddenly abandoned around 1550 BCE. That aligns nicely with their "exodus" out of Egypt back into their mother land. Many other scholars agree that the Hyksos were the Hebrews. I never did agree with the narrative that the Hyksos violently invaded Egypt. They were invited in.
Bible we’re literally fiction writing lol 😂
You are very right about this, Even in Quran God stated that 1. Pharaoh is a literal name not a title, 2. pharaoh's people were not Egyptians, God made distinction between Egyptians and Pharaoh's people (hyksos) in many verses.. 3. at the time of Joseph Quran States the ruler of Egypt at that time as king but in Moses's story Quran states the ruler as pharaoh. 4. Egyptians never ever in the historical records called them selfs as pharaohs..
@Pheenix90 the Quran is not a good reference, it was writing down very very later
@@dulcemoutinho5820 So is Torah and the bible? the new testament is written in 392.
But the Qur’an is really accurate. The Egyptian pharaoh was not described as a king except during the period of Joseph Ibn Jacob.. I think that the ruling dynasty at the time was not Egyptian, and after that they were expelled and the Egyptians returned to using the term “Pharaoh” and we see the story of Moses with this pharaoh.
These fine details are interesting, and we should take the Qur'an as a good reference for researching more about the history of Egypt.
Josephus Flavius says that the Hyksos were the Israelites.
He calls the Hyksos ‘our people’.
Manetho (via Josephus)says that Hyksos can also mean Shepherd King.
And since the title is spelled with a shepherd’s crook, he is probably right.
This is why the Israelite patriarchs were called shepherds.
This is why later (after the exodus) Joseph told his people not to mention to pharaoh that they were shepherds (ie: Hyksos), because pharaoh would kick them back out of the country. This had nothing to do with sheep, and everything to do with the Israelites being the Hyksos.
See book: Tempest & Exodus.

Well done! I am of the opinion that Manetho was wrong about a foreign military invasion of Egypt by the Hyksos. Rather, as noted in this video, the Hyksos peacefully emigrated to the Delta. most probably by ship, from the Levantine coastal areas (Coastal Canaan, the Lebanon, and Syria (the Ugarit area and its sea port). The Hyksos temples at Tell el Daba resemble temples in northern Syria. A Hyksos seal shows Baal-Zephon striding over the tops of two mountains, with a ship holding several men. I suspect this seal is recalling the Hyksos' origins: They came by ship from the Levantine coastal area and its mountains in today's Lebanon and Syria. Over time, this by sea, influx into the Delta, allowed these Asiatics to assume control and rule as Pharaohs, aping Egyptian customs. The Theban Pharaohs, fearing the conquest of their slice of Egypt, by a powerful Hyksos Dynasty, engaged in war the Hyksos, driving them from the Delta, back to their homelands, by land, via the way of Horus to Gaza, thence to the Lebanon and Syria.
For 400 years the Hyksos' Asiatic realm was an Egyptian Empire (1530-1130 BC). The Iron Age I settlers of Canaan and Moab were probably the Hyksos' descendants, reclaiming their ancestor's heritage when Egypt withdrew circa 1130 BC from Canaan.
I suspect that Flavius Josephus (ca. 70 AD) was right, the Hyksos Expulsion (ca. 1530 BC) was the Egyptian version of Israel's Exodus.
The Iron Age I sudden appearance of villages in Moab and Canaan, near the Jordan River, is the Hyksos' descendants coming from the Lebanon and Syria, to reclaim their Hyksos ancestors' heritage.
No Egyptian King was called or had title Pharaoh. If you cannot know this how reliable is your information?
I don’t buy the idea of women migrating to the region for marriage. That doesn’t track with anything in all of human history. More likely is complete cultural migration, met with resistance, and a high proportion of foreign males killed in battle and therefore not represented in the samples collected in this study.
Women migrated to early America from Europe to marry as the country began to be developed. Most of the women who were already in America were either Native or African. So European women were encouraged to migrate to the new country to snag a husband. Not only that, but later on men sent off for Mail-Order brides from Europe.
@@marielaveau6362 In that context, what you're describing is two a stage migration: initially males followed by females from the same culture. That's not what was described in the video.

Hi
Thru ancient civilizations,it always been counterparts.
Time is speeding up,changing will be inevitable.
We are all connected and we are not alone.
Cordially
I love when you want to know "what happened" from a modern historian, and the first thing they do is give you a long list of wrong things that didn't happen. Annoying.
It is the custom when presenting new information to first go over the assumptions that have been around for so long they have become 'facts' that are now being challenged.
For real, if he just came out and said the Hyksos originated in Hykztlan and ruled Egypt after they were the first to shout “thou shotgun” within sight of the Great Pyramid, we’d have no reason to believe he had even considered other theories.
This "history" is about as reliable as the nonsense you get from Ancestry.com and 123.com.
Unfortunately this is all speculation and assumption. They assume the Avaris people were the Hyksos.
Male to female ratio is no proof of invasion or non invasion.
If a whole people invaded it is likely that a huge portion of men would be killed on battle and burial sites of post invasion settlements would be female dominant. It was common at the time that surviving males would have multiple wives.
Every time. Ex. It definitely was not the Aryans
By the time these people came to rule the golden age of Egyptian culture had long been relegated to ancient history.
It was during the New Kingdom, after the deposition of the Hyksos, that the Egyptian empire reached its greatest extent.
So if Hyksos were in the delta for that long.. then this throws a wrench in everything we know about the upper and lower Egyptian divide. Could Egypt since the first dynasty have been this diverse? Closer inspection of the Narmer palette, we can observe the differences in the way southern are represented next to the subdued northerners..
The Delta Egyptians were closely linked to the Sumerian culture. Since the united Egypt of the day was interested in cooperation rather than brutal conquest, the south probably allowed the north to continue many of its cultural traditions.
Of course Egypt was diverse. Your talking 3000 years of civilization

That's a street H the Amalekites the descendants of Esau were Caucasians. The artefacts of the Hyksos depicted them as dark brown Israelites aka black people. Nice try to fob Amalek on us 😆

Excellent Episode...
Now where did they go when they were expelled 🤔
How does the Hebrew EXODUS compare and contrast?
The Shepherd Kings arrived during the time of Joseph who saved the known world from a world wide famine and was raised to second in power to Pharaoh Djozer. Joseph (Imhotep) and his family of descendants became so powerful the Egyptians became worried thus led to their persecution and slavery then eventually the exodus. It’s all so simple
An interesting theory. It's important to try and imagine how groups view themselves and others from their perspective. If true, the Hyksos in northern Egypt probably saw themselves as Egyptian albeit with more recent memory of migration from a homeland(s) they had never seen (like modern day Americans) but to the native Egyptians (or those who had migrated into the area much much earlier) the Hyksos were forever outsiders who usurped power out from under them - again like the US where Americans from earlier immigrants who look with disdain at newer immigrants. Unlike Native Americans, the Egyptians were able to drive out or at least assume control over these "immigrants" driving out the "foreigners" and those who remained became "Egyptian" (except perhaps for one obstinate group that clung to their ways...)
Americans? As in the people in America 30,000 years before 1492 and still here now? Or you meant US Citizens of European decent? Because the citizens of the USA are not officially called Americans. They are US Nationals or US Citizens. Americans are everyone in America from Alaska to Chile. The original people in America are Americans and are not from Europe or Africa. So you meant European US citizens who assimilate into a generic European culture in the USA.
@@adrianalainez8499 good for you!
@@adrianalainez8499 your logic is shit. As could argue white American are the only true Americans. Considering the origin of the word being from Amerigo Vespucci
And the fact the country isn't the same as land history..the bill of of rights states only white men of moral character can be Americans us citizens " rn it says. Doesn't mean other races aren't American
European American is not even a used term. What a waste of time
@@TheMagicJIZZ You're an idiot because Americans are the people already in America before 1492 and the people you call Hispanic now. Those are Americans. Europeans aren't Americans. And if you want to describe a European born in the USA he's a US citizen or US National. No where in the Declaration of independence or the Constitution or any speech made by the founding fathers does it say Americans to describe their citizens. That term started to be used in the 1880's. Before that everyone know that the name of the country wasn't America it was the United States. The Union. In what continent? America. And your Vespucci stupidity doesn't work. So Africa can be Africa and the people Africans right? They accept that right? Even though the Romans called them that not the people themselves. And just Tunisia was Africa not the Continent. But it's the term used now. So America and Americans in the end have nothing to do with Vespucci. If the continent is America the people are Americans. If you are from Europe than Europeans. And yes you should use European American because the only people who can use American alone without a hyphen are the true Americans the people already here when the Europeans arrived. And most Americans are magically called Hispanic just because they speak Spanish but have zero connections to Spain which is European. But Africans speak English and aren't British or Britonic right? You can't erase an identity and impose another. Not everyone are sheep. You're fake news.

The “Clovis first” those years has been blown out of the water!

I appreciate the notion of discussing a scientific research paper, but this video was disappointing. To improve, future videos should: 1.) state authors of paper and clearer details of journal published 2.) show images/graphs from the paper, not just stock video 3.) provide the video author's opinions of the research (if any).
That was every bit as exciting as I always figured it would be to listen to someone read an academic paper. Maybe next time you can up your game by reading the footnotes too. They are always a hoot.
There is a fundamental flaw in the conclusion of this study. This study aims to dispute Manetho's claim that the Hyksos forcefully invaded Egypt based upon 1) the presence of Asiatic peoples in the city before Hyksos rule and on 2) the absence of evidence for fighting and destruction at the city of Avaris.
Just because there is no archeological evidence of fighting and destruction at the city of Avaris does not mean that there is not evidence of fighting and destruction at other cities in Egypt.
In fact, it is logical to assume that due to a large portion of the population of Avaris already being ethnically aligned with the invading Hyksos forces, that they could have also been politically aligned with them as well. It is possible that during this time of political unrest in the country, the inhabitants of Avaris opened their doors to their Western Asiatic kinsmen, and allowed them to set up their base/hub in their city peacefully. Other cities further south, however, may have been forcefully overtaken and subjugated by the Hyksos.
Also of note, according to Manetho, there was a large number of native Egyptians living amongst the Hyksos during their rule, and these natives formed the bureaucratic arm of society, while the army was made up of Asiatics. This does not mean that other native Egyptians in the kingdom were on board with Hyksos domination of their country, and many of them did resist the invasion. 100 years after the Hyksos invasion, Seqenenre Tao, who was possibly Nubian in origin, initiated a resistance campaign against the Hyksos to unite Egypt, which was completed by his son Yahmose.
The fifth-column like behavior of the mixed multitude of inhabitants of Avaris may have angered the southern Egyptians so much, that when the regained control over the whole country, they expelled the entire population of the city, as alluded to in the video. It is possible that this mixed Asiatic and African population ended up in the area of the Levant.

As The Encyclopedia Americana (1956, Vol. 14, p. 595) says: “The only detailed account of them [the Hyksos] in any ancient writer is an unreliable passage of a lost work of Manetho, cited by Josephus in his rejoinder to Apion.” Statements attributed by Josephus to Manetho are the source of the name Hyksos. Interestingly, Josephus, claiming to quote Manetho verbatim, presents Manetho’s account as directly connecting the Hyksos with the Israelites. Josephus, it seems, accepts this connection but argues vehemently against many of the details of the account. He seems to prefer the rendering of Hyksos as “captive shepherds” rather than “king-shepherds.” Manetho, according to Josephus, presents the Hyksos as conquering Egypt without a battle, destroying cities and “the temples of the gods,” and causing slaughter and havoc. They are represented as settling in the Delta region. Finally the Egyptians are said to have risen up, fought a long and terrible war, with 480,000 men, besieged the Hyksos at their chief city, Avaris, and then, strangely, reached an agreement allowing them to leave the country unharmed with their families and possessions, whereupon they went to Judea and built Jerusalem.-Against Apion, I, 73-105 (14-16); 223-232 (25, 26).
In the contemporary writings the names of these rulers were preceded by titles such as “Good God,” “Son of Reʽ,” or Hik-khoswet, “Ruler of Foreign Lands.” The term “Hyksos” is evidently derived from this latter title which is a non related word. Egyptian documents immediately following their rule called them Asiatics. Regarding this period of Egyptian history, C. E. DeVries noted: “In attempting to correlate secular history with the biblical data, some scholars have tried to equate the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt with the Israelite Exodus, but the chronology rules out this identification, and other factors as well make this hypothesis untenable. . . . The origin of the Hyksos is uncertain; they came from somewhere in Asia and bore Semitic names for the most part.”-The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, edited by G. Bromiley, 1982, Vol. 2, p. 787.
Since Joseph’s elevation to power and the benefits it brought Israel were by divine providence, there is no need to seek some other reason in the form of friendly “Shepherd Kings.” (Ge 45:7-9) But it is possible that Manetho’s account, actually the foundation of the “Hyksos” idea, simply represents a garbled tradition, one that developed from earlier Egyptian efforts to explain away what took place in their land during the Israelite sojourn in Egypt. The tremendous effect on the country produced by Joseph’s ascension to the position of acting ruler (Ge 41:39-46; 45:26); the profound change his administration brought, resulting in the Egyptians’ sale of their land and even of themselves to Pharaoh (Ge 47:13-20); the 20-percent tax they thereafter paid from their produce (Ge 47:21-26); the 215 years of Israelite residence in Goshen, with their eventually exceeding the native population in number and strength, according to Pharaoh’s statement (Ex 1:7-10, 12, 20); the Ten Plagues and the devastation they wrought not only on the Egyptian economy but even more so on their religious beliefs and the prestige of their priesthood (Ex 10:7; 11:1-3; 12:12, 13); the Exodus of Israel following the death of all Egypt’s firstborn and then the destruction of the cream of Egypt’s military forces at the Red Sea (Ex 12:2-38; 14:1-28)-all these things certainly would require some attempted explanation by the Egyptian official element.
It should never be forgotten that the recording of history in Egypt, as in many Middle Eastern lands, was inseparably connected with the priesthood, under whose tutelage the scribes were trained. It would be most unusual if some propagandistic explanation were not invented to account for the utter failure of the Egyptian gods to prevent the disaster God brought upon Egypt and its people. History, even recent history, records many occasions when such propaganda so grossly perverted the facts that the oppressed were presented as the oppressors, and the innocent victims were presented as the dangerous and cruel aggressors. Manetho’s account (over a thousand years after the Exodus), if preserved with some degree of correctness by Josephus, may possibly represent the distorted traditions handed down by succeeding generations of Egyptians to account for the basic elements of the true account, in the Bible, concerning Israel in Egypt.
Honestly any attempt at making the Term Hyksos as a People who ruled or overtook and ruled Egypt is based on Literal Nonsense and wild conjecture anyways. And more Evidence points to the sojourning years in which Joseph being the first of a long line of Israelite Magistrate or "Shepherd Kings(Hyksos) " along with the ruling Pharaohs after Djoser as Manethro urged would have more a bases in fact.
something split the lands in two. a kind of civil war?
There was a famine. The ancient Hebrews sold their daughters into slavery and marriage (very similar things) for food.

Hyksos was a mixed multitude just how the Bible explained the exodus then isrealite origin.semites are buried in the mix so is many other peoples races. It appears to be something like Spartacus movement where pirates or poor raids gathered more ans more as the wave migrated threw the ancient world .
Those who would later become phillistines most likely brought the culture of cremation with them thus its few to no burials to study .

Excellent articulation analysis
I was surprised when Nick said some people claim there weren't black Egyptians. That is less informed than saying there weren't white Egyptians. It's in Africa. Of course there are black Egyptians. But the Narmer Macehead shows a white king receiving a black queen. And if you get in a biracial person's face and demand to know if they are black or white (because you're behaving like a racist), the answer is both. They are white and they are black and no amount of attempting to reduce them to either is going to change that. But if we ever do get off the sauce of our apparently inescapable racist tendencies, Ancient Egyptians could teach us a thing or two about race. They handled it beautifully and we handle it like a ragey child.
Narmer was Black and Ancient Egypt was founded by Black Africans.
Being African doesn’t mean you’re black that’s like saying if you’re Asian you’re Chinese’s despite their being many ethnic groups in Asia. North Africans and sub Saharan Africans look different from one another.
Hyksos are Phoenicians or Hebrews who originally sprung out of Dilmun. They ended up in the region known as Canaan, and from there they made their way down south to modern-day Egypt. Avaris, the city, may originally have been a trade outpost, sort of like Carthage in its original state, but grew rapidly in size and importance. The exodus is essentially the tale of the expulsion of the Hyksos, albeit with reversed roles to garner sympathy and for storytelling reasons. The Hyksos/Phoenicians learned a valuable lesson from their expulsion, and that was to, in their future endeavors of empire-conquering, not rule with fear and impunity, as it was a recipe for disaster. Rather, one should do it covertly, preferably with a front, and with a healthy dose of amicable behavior towards one's subjects.

The Hycsos were of Asian Semitic descent very similar to some people who lived in Egypt around the time of their rule, the Israelites. They ruled actually closer to four hundred years from just before Abraham to about 100 years before the great Exodus of the Israelites. The Hycsos recognize the Israelites as people like themselves Asian semites. This is how Joseph rose to power and prominence in Egypt during the time of the Israelites living in Egypt. When the Hycsos were driven out of power this is how the Israelites became enslaved in Egypt and led to the Exodus via Moses as recorded in the book of Exodus.
There was no great exodus out of egypt. Sorry, no one lives to 1000 and the sun existed before the earth.
@@andrewmarkmusic according to Jewish history which apparently those people are smarter than you The Exodus occurred about 1500 BC led by Moses. Even Egyptian history records The Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
@@thombradley4737 Bullshit...There isn't a word about it in Egyptian mythology.
@Thom Bradley: I hate telling you (actually, I love telling you) that the commenter above is correct. There was no exodus as described in the Bible. That event is folklore, not history. There are many reasons to so conclude, but here are a few to chew on: Had over 650,000 slaves -- not counting the children -- abruptly departed Egypt, its economy would have collapsed, and the event would have been roundly noted by the Egyptians (who kept copious records), as well as by their neighbors. But there is no record anywhere of any such event or any such collapse. In fact, the reign of Ramses II, traditional Pharaoh of the Exodus, was one of great prosperity and construction. It could not have been so in the absence of so much of the work force.
Had that many people spent 40 years in the dry, preserving environment of the desert, they would surely have left abundant evidence of their sojourn. But despite decades of fervent, even desperate digging, no associated tools, pottery, charcoal, coprolites, skeletons, or other detritus have been found. Nor are they ever likely to be.
The promised land (Canaan) to which Moses purportedly led the Israelites was in fact an Egyptian protectorate at the time, replete with garrisons -- not a likely destination for a people seeking freedom.
The consensus of scholars is that the event described in Exodus is a foundational myth, pieced together centuries after the events it purports to describe as a way of creating a national identity. The story does have much power and inspirational force, but history it is not.
@@gordonbartlett1921 thank you for your input. However Jewish history does clearly show The Exodus out of Egypt around 1500 BC. Some of us do find Genesis to be historical fact.

If it wasn't then there's no reason for the Jews to be celebrating Passover for 3500 years.

Do you think that this 77% of foreign women have something to do with the fact that you become a Jew if your mother is a Jew? I search for the origin of that tradition, but didn't find anything that would explain that phenomenon. As far as I know, Jews are the only nation to inherit from mother, not from father. Maybe this could be the reason. Women from Caanan taught their children in Egypt the caananite tradition and some of the next generation foreigners came to power as Hyksos. As we know, Moses was also raised in Egyptian home, who knows if his mother was a caananite princess.
Interesting that hyksos had diverse female ancestry, but not as much on the male side. It could be that Hyksos were slaves that rose up and took over, and reached out to their homeland for wives. On the other hand, they could have arrived anda taken over, but due to their polygamous tendencies, took all the local women and still needed more, so brought in a second wave, 70%, of foreign women for concubines. Male dominated society where lower caste men were probably not allowed to breed perhaps.
The Hyksos are Semitic Arabs
idk why this is simillar to how aryan migration happend, exact time and exact way of conquer, rape culture is from india where aryans rape all human female they found based on superstition reason or just simply aryanized all people at that time
Because it wasn’t an invasion there are depictions of Hkysos women coming to Egypt to marry wealth men, I forget but a recent study actually proved this
I have always been under the impression they came from what is now Libya and Tunisia. But apparently no one knows where.

Are you going to cover the Ipuwer Papyrus describing events very similar to the Ten Plagues?
The native melanated skinned dominant people of Africa (today’s black peoples) from the land of Kenet (ancient Egyptians) civilised the Greeks in their earliest days and used them as mercenaries for the Egyptian armed forces. They also added them to the Egyptian navy. They respected the willingness to learn and intelligence so passed on knowledge thorough them. Egyptian surplus royalty and nobility from the polygamous families would travel across the Mediterranean to places like Greece, Italy etc for trade. The Africans brought their religion with them. They settled in Europe temporarily for a time. They even manufactured products for European markets. The Greeks absorbed the Kemetic culture and religion and modified them. It was because of the Greeks that Europeans worshiped African gods for a fact for a few thousands of years until Roman times. They just changed the names and adapted it to their own culture in similar ways as the Europeans and Romans took Christianity from Africans and near Eastern early churches to create a uniquely European brand of Christianity complete with a white Jesus Christ and marry poster family. The earliest version of the Madonna mother and child pose is still existing in a native African temple in Egypt that is older than Christianity and the Bible by at least 12,000 years. Black American tourists like to go there to learn their religious history these days.
In the land of my direct ancestors ancient Kemet in Africa (Greek colonial name Egypt) everything is written in stones or scrolls and most of these knowledges are in European museum vaults and in the Vatican City in Italy for scholars to research and verify. Ramese the great also used Arabs or Semites as they were known in those day all the way to the gates of Babylon as his subjects, as mercenaries and porters for his armies and when he achieved what was the first ancient world peace after marrying the Assyrian princess he settled the Asians in a part of the Nile delta and gave them land. They were migrants granted citizenship and no one ever discriminated against them even when some of them were former enemies of the Africans. The descendants of these ancestors of some of the Arabs where the first people to completely do a state sponsored looting of all of the tombs in Egypt striping the dead of the valuables and gold and even the god of their Middle Eastern ancestors Rameses the great god of Kemet, (Egypt) and god of the Middle Eastern Arab world in his day was stripped almost nude into his wrappings and repackaged into a sack with his name written on it and thrown into a common grave with many other kings.
These foreigners never truly assimilated with the Africans and they kind always assisted invaders to take Africa apart until the days of Islam when they succeeded in aiding the son of Salahudeen(who defeated the Night Templars to invade and kill every single native Egyptian and castrate the surviving male bloodlines of the commoners and then destroy their cities, temples and towns. They they then spent 20 years working very very very hard to erase the great pyramids but they were from an intellectually primitive race and lacked the technological capabilities and resources to completely destroy the great pyramids so they left the greatest wonder of the ancient world in ruins. They gave up because they couldn’t understand the pyramids and they were too primitive to even dismantle the stones. It was a technology so superior that mankind have never seen it’s like to this day besides other copies of its kind in similarly global cultures of the timeline after they were built.
The ancestors of the Arabs wanted to erase all African symbolism so no African ever retake Kemet and permanently promote Islam in the region. Then they spent the next 700 years enslaving black Africans in the surrounding nations to be sure of erasing all Egyptian bloodlines both common and enslaved. But they didn’ know that the natives already began a series of waves of migrations to west Africa since the last 25,000 years and emptied 70% of North African native populations to West Africa since the dawn of the last global warming as the jungles died and the desert took over.
Those surplus women came with a migration influx and invaders with their brothers, fathers and whole clans to resettle in the greatest and most fertile lands in the world in that timeline. They were nasty to the natives who fought back and they were great warriors once so they decimated the male populations of the foreigners in the battle fields only led by African women at times. That is the only explanation for multiple women who don’t match the men who died long before them. Eventually the Africans will take back control of their empire and evict most of these foreigners leavening those who were already local to remain.
An interesting video, thank you.
Speculation: The strontium values would seem to reflect a recently settled non-local group 'sending out' for brides from 'the home land'.
Wild speculation? Might one view the Hyksos as 'proto-Israelites'? While rightly not touched upon in this factual analysis when direct evidence is lacking I think it fair to wonder.
One might imagine a group coming from the East and Levant, settling mostly in NE Egypt, importing compatriots, gaining influence and power, then finally being ousted by less than happy locals... possibly to escape NE (back) the the Levant. One might go further and wonder about the spread of monotheism in the near East, possibly a direct or as part of a general influence on the likes of Akhenaten. A rather familiar sounding story.
I’m betting the Hyksos came from the Northern European area specifically, khazaria and the caucuses , probably during an solar minimum event , ice age type conditions, driving them to migrate, with their dark ambitions and customs intact.
Egyptians said they were Canaanites who lived in the land of Goshen.
Genesis 47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
A mixture of local egyptians, maasai, different sudanese tribes, different lybian tribes, greek tribes and hyksos etc. So hyksos were imigrants like the rest of Asia and Europe but came earlier. Could it be that the egyptians themselves was a mixture of all these People from the beggining but developed a different culture and language? Could be one more explination to the significant changes in the apperence of the population with time in those areas.
Egyptians defeated enemies in the Levant. Took their women to Egypt. After generations of mixing between Egyptian men and Hyksos women an influx of men from the Levant happened. The Hyksos were ready both in number and position to take power for a century. A possible explanation.
I think what will probably be proved to be true is that the Hyksos were in fact the Hebrews, the first of which must have been Joseph. He rose to a position of prominence second only to Pharaoh and he all but run the country.
His fellow countrymen settled in the North of Egypt and over the next four hundred years they flourished and multiplied.
By around the turn of the 18th Dynasty they had grown to a population of over three million, the Pharaoh at the time felt threatened by their growth and their expansion and he tighten his control over them. Moses returned to Egypt and asked for his people to be freed from bondage but his request was refused. The rest is history.
A remarkable find laying on the sea floor of the Gulf of Aqaba, (Red Sea); suggests that the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus, of the Israelites from Egypt; could well have been Amenhotep I.
Unfortunately nobody in the Bible were an actual real people lol 😂
@@Pimping9167
I correct myself and now propose that the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus was probably Thutmoses II.
It does sort of fit the Biblical narrative, since they were descendants of Asiatics who had been born in the Delta region and inhabiting the area for generations.
We tend to think of things in the past as a composite, tight unit of time. But really the time line is very long and drawn out swath. The time from the Revolutionary War to today is a tiny percentage of the time Egypt existed BCE, The Levant was connected with Egypt culturally/genetically/economically for as long as Egypt existed and having people from the Levant in Egypt was as natural as seeing different nationals in places like the UK and USA today. It is only logical they were able at times to be influential periodically.
TL;DR: Hyksos skeletons have similar Strontium isotopes as locals, so the Hyksos had been living there for a while, and did not arrive as invaders. Women were more likely to have come from elsewhere.
They were amorites not egyptian
(19 September 2023, 10:40 a.m.)
Currently 1530 BC is a popular date for the expulsion of the Hyksos.
This date does not align with a circa 1446 BC date for the Exodus based on 1 Kings 6:1 mention of 480 years from Exodus to the building of Solomon's Temple.
Not very well known to many, however, two Egyptologists, who identify themselves as Christian Apologists, Professors James K. Hoffmeier and Kenneth A. Kitchen, independent of each other, toted up the number of years of rule from Joshua, the Judges, Saul, David, and Solomon, and concluded the Bible erred!
It was not 480 years from the Exodus to the Temple's building by Solomon, it was over 600+ years!
This 600+ years aligned the Exodus with the Hyksos period of Egypt!
Despite this extraordinary finding, both Hoffmeier and Kitchen, then trashed this Hyksos alignment, opting for a 1260 BC Exodus based on the mention of a store city called Ramesses, built by the Israelites, which, for them is the city of Pi-Ramesses of Pharaoh Ramesses II.

anybody notice the same pattern with aryan migration to india? both migrated in approx. exact period (aryan migration into india on 1500 BC), both of them sounds very warlike tribe and as if they already planned all of this long ago
I think the Hyksos was actually "Hebrews". I think that they was the lost tribe of Israel.
Relax ppl, this is MY PERSONAL OPINION, so don't attack me you bunch a weirdoes...
No attack coming from me! But just for the sake of sharing information, I did read an account once that suggested the Hyksos relied upon the Hebrews living in Egypt to serve as tax collectors. When the Hyksos were overthrown, the Egyptians wreaked revenge upon the Hebrews leading to their enslavement.
No such thing as Hebrew tribe. They were the Canaanites.
Party is no longer grand,just old
and than we have the Party of asses
Poor people.
Do you not know it is in the Bible who the Hick Sauce were?
In Isaiah, it very VERY clearly says that "you went down to Egypt, and the ASSYRIAN oppressed you without cause".
It also says that there "arose" a pharaoh who knew not Joseph.
This was the Assyria taking control of the Goshen area.
Most likely, everything in the Exodus occurred vs Hick Sauce rulers, and the Semitic Exodus collapsed their rule in that area, forcing them to retract.
The Jews didn't have a hatred towards Egypt: on the contrary, they got in trouble for relying on them.....
There's ancient art in Egypt depicting Caucasians with blue eyes - from Europe probably.
There were pictures of fair haired and light skinned Libyans(Berbers) by the Egyptians. The same wall also showed pictures of Nubians and Hebrews.
ooo white people, how exotic! ;D
There are royal Dynastic Egyptian mummies with red hair. There is a myth that an Egyptian princess founded Scotland (Queen Scotia according to Scottish legend).

Have you not read the story of the abduction of Io. All of the people in this story can be identified and it proves Syria-Palestine and Egypt was ruled by Greeks.
Io the daughter of Inarchus was abducted and taken across the Thracian Sound in the form of a Cow and thus it was renamed the Bosphoros. After travelling around the Black Sea, Asia-Minor and Syria-Palestine she came to Egypt and gave birth to a son Epaphus who later became king.
Epaphus kidnapped and was taken to Syria so Io went searching for him, found him and brought him back to Egypt and married the Egyptian king. Epaphus fathered Libya who by Poseidon was the mother of Belus the father of Danus and Aegyptus, and to Agenor the father of Cadmus and Europe.
So lets identify who everyone was shall we.
Io or "Ioun" {WA-NA} as Herodotus calls her was Beon (Khyan) 1667.5-1645.5 Epaphus was Pharaoh Apachnas (Apepi I) 1645.5-1626.5
Lybia was Libaia queen of Assyria c.1673
Agenor was Apophis (Apepi II) 1626.5-1596
Danus was Janins (Yakhuber) 1596-1571 {Wa-na-ka-DA-MA-(S)}
Cadmus was Assis (Khamudy Aasehre / Ahmose) 1571-1546 {Wa-na-KA-DA-MA-(A)}
and Europe was Yawrel which is also Israel
and Epaphus was also Paphos in Cyprus
ImWa-na-ka-da-ma-(s) is exactly the same name as Yahweh and Equash and Ectenes the name of the indigenous people of Greece
prior to the Thera eruption who gave way to the Aeones or Ionians and Hyantes or Giants (Giant being Greek for earthborn GI antron) which is again another corruption of the name Ionians. And of course Yawrel is also corruption of Wa-na-(el) which becomes Europe.
At least five Hyksos kings, Sheshi (Zeus), Nubuserre (Busiris), Seneferankhre Apepi I, Awoserre Apepi II, and Aqenienre Apepi III are proven to be the Greek kings Epaphus, Sarapis and Agenor. The founder of Hyksos was the Cretan king Cronos/Saturn.
The name of Egyptian Pharaoh Wankare (Acthoes III) in Linear B is Wa-Na-Ka (number ONE derives from it) which is the same as the modern Greek word Anax or High King.
We also know that Tutmeses written Djehutymes in Egyptian was Aegyptus after whom the Greeks named Egypt. From Jerome we know that Aegyptus reigned over Egypt in 1480 BC, 6 years before Danaus his brother ruled in Argos. According to the Low Chronology Tutmoses III begins his reign over Egypt in 1479 BC thus agreeing with Jerome. This is why the Egyptians told Alexander the Great he was the son of Ammon since Alexander was a descendent of Aegyptus the father of Lynceus, the father of Abas, father of Acrisius, father of Perseus, father of Alcaeus, father of Amphitryon, father of Herakles, father of Hyllus, father of Cleodeus, father of Aristomachus, father of Temenus king of Argos from whom Alexander was descended.
The Greeks rulled Egypt continuously for over 1000 Years and also contributed to the invasions of the Sea People and the Hyksos and the 18th and 19th Egyptian dynasties which followed the Hyksos were descended from the Greeks. At the time of Perseus and Eumolpus in 1336 BC the Greeks had already established a colony in Egypt which was still there in the time of Herodotus in 440 BC.
The semites who lived in Avaris were there from the 19th century and left in the 15th century after being enslaved. As such they were not Hyksos.
David Rohl wrote about this very issue. The settlement of Avaris was abandoned before the arrival of the Hyksos. There seems to be a connection - Egypt had a major political economic and military decline and Avaris was abandoned in an overnight manner. The loss of labor in this agricultural center so weakened the Empire even further that the Hyksos were able to take over. The Hyksos could be any group of SW Semittes, Hittites, Cannanites, Philisteens, Minoans, Sumerians, etc.
None of what is said disproves military or migratory invasion.
Things like pottery and literature are cultural and trade related and don't give us info on who they really were.
Today cellphones are everywhere but we're invented in the USA. That is not evidence that every where there are cell phones is proof of Americans being the dominant ethic group of the world.

Manetho has the Hyksos coming from Phoenicia. If he is right, I would favor Byblos, a port with Egyptian objects. Today Byblos is in Phoenicia.
Donald B. Redford, an Egyptologist, noted the Hyksos were associated with a place called mount Bishri. This mount is in northern Syria.
Manfred Bietak, another Egyptologist, has noted Hyksos temples and homes resemble those found in northern Syria, as does the pottery. Burial customs at Avaris also reflect North Syrian customs.
The Bible has Abraham being of Harran, a site in Northern Syria.
Israel's father, Jacob, is called a wandering Aramean when settles in Egypt. Some Bibles render Syrian instead of Aramean.
So, the Hyksos' origins appear to be northern Syria, its sea ports, Byblos, Ugarit, Gebel Bishri, and Harran.
