I/17
HYKSOS 1645 BC - 1537 BC
The Hyksos or “rulers of foreign lands”(probably Later Amorites from Syria) conquered the northern half of Egypt and established a dynasty of six rulers. The first one, Sheshy or Salatis became Pharaoh in 1644/5 BC, set up a new capital in Avaris and a new priesthood of the local god Seth. The sixth Pharaoh, Khamudy, was driven out by Ahmose around 1537 BC. Despite previous received opinion, it is now considered unlikely that massed chariots played a part in the Hyksos conquest of Egypt, although they became important in the later period as Hurrian influence spread.
