Chapter 6 Hyksos Invasion of Egypt
‘Tutimaeus. In his reign, for what cause I know not, a blast of
god smote us; and unexpectedly, from the regions of the East, invaders of
an obscure race marched in confidence against our land. By main force
that easily overpowered the rulers of the land, they then burned our cities
ruthlessly, razed to the ground the temples of the gods, and treated all the
natives with a cruel hostility, massacring some and leading into slavery
the wives and children of others.’
So said the Egyptian priest Manetho in 330BCE about the Hyksos
invasion that took place some one thousand five hundred years before his
own time. 334 Savage evidence of severed limbs in grave pits seems to
support his claim. 335
Manetho also wrote that the Hyksos escaped to Syria where they
built Jerusalem. 336 Hekataios of Abdera similarly wrote in 300BCE that
Jewish tradition of the Exodus came from the expulsion of the Hyksos. 337
He maintained the Israelites were the Hyksos. Although the Exodus is an
article of faith, modern archeologists are still unable to confirm or deny
the Biblical traditions. We still do not know whether the Exodus was
mythical or it actually occurred as described in the Bible. If it did occur,
it could be the Hyksos expulsion (as Hekataios maintains) or a later event.
It is, however, well recognized that the Hyksos conquerors of
Egypt were overwhelmingly Semitic speaking Levant Asiatics, because
most of the Hyksos names are Semitic. For example, Jacob exists as both
a Hyksos Prince (Mr wsr R r /Y r ķb hr, Yaqob) and the Biblical Palestine
identity. 338 Yet the Semites of Western Palestine never otherwise
displayed the military might and war-technology necessary to mount a
sole invasion of Egypt.
The main war force of the Hyksos was Indo-Hittite and more
particularly Indo-Iranian Hurrian. These were the Haxa from Eastern
Iran. We know less about this military force because of their peculiar
characteristic of discouraging written records.
Because of their aversion to the written word, the Hurrians
seemed to leave non-military administration to the Semitic Levant
Asiatics, the proto-Israelites. This may well be the reason Joseph was a
vizier to the Pharaoh rather than a General. Tuthmose III similarly
