Question

Which of the following was NOT a factor allowing the Hyksos (foreign rulers of which very little is known) to take over Egypt?

A. Famine caused by the Nile's uncontrollable flooding
B. Civil War and war with Hyksos
C. Excessive spending of Egyptian government
D. Many building projects of Egyptian government

Answer 1

The Hyksos did not control all of Egypt. Instead, they coexisted with the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Dynasties, which were based in Thebes.Warfare between the Hyksos and the pharaohs of the late Seventeenth Dynasty eventually culminated in the defeat of the Hyksos by Ahmose I, who founded the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. In the following centuries, the Egyptians would portray the Hyksos as bloodthirsty and oppressive foreign rulers.

Josephus associated the Hyksos with the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Many modern scholars believe the Hyksos may have partially inspired the Biblical account.
