Hyksos

invaders of the ancient kingdoms of Egypt, known as Hyksos, were notoriously known for the hatred Egyptians displayed towards them. So much that it has impaired historians through the ages to discover and fully comprehend the history of the Hyksos. Despite the fact some progress has been made in more recent years, much of the history behind the Hyksos remains unknown and some possibly has been lost in time altogether.

the Hyksos and the motives for their move into Egypt. Though the Hyksos are believed to be a non-homogenous people, it’s likely they may have been of predominantly Semitic derivation.

unsettled period in Egyptian history, during which a rapid succession of kings failed to consolidate power. As a consequence, during the Second Intermediate Period Egypt was divided into several spheres of influence. The official royal court and seat of government was relocated to Thebes, while a rival dynasty (the 14th), centered on the city of Xois in the Nile delta, seems to have existed at the same time as the 13th. Around 1650 B.C., a line of foreign rulers known as the Hyksos took…

Hyrule, a kingdom that has endured the test of time. It's been through many changes throughout the ages, evolving and ever expanding its rich lore and history.
