Hyksos


Hyksos, dynasty of Palestinian origin that ruled northern Egypt as the 15th dynasty (c. 1630–1523 BCE; The Second Intermediate period). The name Hyksos was used by the Egyptian historian Manetho (flourished 300 BCE), who, according to the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (flourished 1st century CE), translated the word as “king-shepherds” or “captive shepherds.” Josephus himself wished to demonstrate the great antiquity of the Jews and thus identified the Hyksos with the Hebrews of the Bible. Hyksos was in fact probably an Egyptian term for “rulers of foreign lands” (heqa-khase), and it almost certainly designated the foreign dynasts rather than an ethnic group. Modern scholarship has identified most of the Hyksos kings’ names as Semitic.

The rise of the Hyksos kings in Egypt was made possible by an influx of immigrants from Palestine into Egypt beginning about the 18th century BCE. The immigrants brought with them new technologies, including the horse and chariot, the compound bow, and improved metal weapons. Most of them settled in the eastern portion of the Nile Delta, where they achieved a dominant role in trade with western Asia. Archaeological excavations in that area have revealed a Canaanite-style temple, Palestinian-type burials (including horse burials), Palestinian types of pottery, quantities of their superior weapons, and a series of Minoan frescoes that demonstrate stylistic parallels to those of Knossos and Thera. The most-prominent settlement was Avaris (modern Tall al-Dabʿa), a fortified camp over the remains of a Middle Kingdom town in the northeastern delta. Their chief deity was the Egyptian storm and desert god, Seth, whom they identified with a Syrian storm god, Hadad.

The sequence of events that brought the Hyksos kings to power in Lower Egypt is not entirely clear. The 13th and 14th dynasties, which had existed concurrently in Lower Egypt, weakened and disappeared about the middle of the 17th century. Some scholars have suggested that a famine in the Delta region contributed to their decline and opened the way for the emergence of the Hyksos dynasty. From Avaris the Hyksos 15th dynasty ruled most of Lower Egypt and the Nile valley as far south as Cusae (near present-day Asyūṭ). The contemporaneous 16th-dynasty rulers—minor Hyksos kings who ruled in Upper Egypt simultaneously with those of the 15th dynasty—were probably vassals of the latter group.

When, under Seqenenre and Kamose, the Thebans began to rebel, the Hyksos pharaoh Apopis tried unsuccessfully to make an alliance with the rulers of Kush, who had overrun Lower Nubia in the later years of the 13th dynasty (c. 1650 BCE).

The Theban revolt spread northward under Kamose, and about 1521 Avaris fell to his successor, Ahmose, founder of the 18th dynasty, thereby ending 108 years of Hyksos rule over Egypt. Although vilified in some Egyptian texts, the Hyksos had ruled as pharaohs and were listed as legitimate kings in the Turin Papyrus. At least superficially they were Egyptianized, and they did not interfere with Egyptian culture beyond the political sphere.

« Benu Bird in Ancient Egypt »

It is one of the species of the gray heron, which is distinguished by its straight beak, two feathers above its head, and two fringes located below its neck.
This bird was depicted in hieroglyphic texts and scenes standing or sitting on a stand or base. The first form is often in the landscape and symbolic scenes, while the second form is in the context of its connection to the funerary beliefs; The deceased wished in the Book of the Dead with spell No. 83 that he would turn into a bird of children on his journey in the other world to enjoy immortality like the sun god Ra, who considered this bird his soul according to the sun’s belief in the city of (Heliopolis or Ain Shams), as the ancient Egyptians believed that they were only landing on The high pointed peaks represented by pyramidal shapes and obelisks, which are also considered a symbol of the sun god Ra; The Greeks knew the bird as the "legendary phoenix" as it was also sacred to them.

Detail of the inner coffin lid of Henettawy, Singer of Amun-Re and Mistress of the House. This second title indicates that she was a married woman.

The coffin dates to the late 21st Dynasty (circa 1000-945 BCE) during the Third Intermediate Period. It is made of carved wood that was plastered, painted and varnished, and was found in Deir el-Bahri on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes (modern day Luxor).

Henettawy died around the age of twenty-one.

This wonderful work (25.3.183a) is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
