CAIRO – 16 July 2020: A new study claims that the Hyksos were born in Egypt from immigrant ancestors who settled in Egypt for many years, eventually carrying out an uprising and seizing power. The study also stated that the ancient Egyptian people welcomed immigrants and that the Hyksos built a city in Egypt’s Delta. However, investigations are still ongoing as to where the Hyksos came from and how they came to power. Additionally, the study confirmed that some see that the story of the rise of the Hyksos to power in the 15thDynasty in ancient Egypt (about 1640-1530 BC) is fabricated. He described the Hyksos as a force that invaded the northeastern Nile Delta during the second transitional period at a time when Egypt was a weak country.
