who were the hyksos and what did they do
Hyksos The Hyksos (/ˈhɪksɒs/ or /ˈhɪksoʊz/;[3] Egyptian heqa khasut, "ruler(s) of the foreign countries"; Ancient Greek: Ὑκσώς, Ὑξώς) were a people of mixed origins, possibly from Western Asia,[4] who settled in the eastern Nile Delta some time before 1650 BC.
