The Hyksos were a foreign dynasty, which dominated Egypt from their capital in the Nile delta during the politically unstable Second Intermediate Period (1782-1570 BC). Portrayed by Egyptian propaganda a satheist barbarians, they were in fact a valuable part of Egyptian civilisations, and it is clear from Egyptian archaeological examination of the remains of the capital that their kings maintained relations with many foreign nations and constructed monumental buildings, using a combination of Egyptian and Canaanite styles. This book explores the religion, politics and customs of the Hyksos and provides a clear and concise overview of this short but controversial period of Egyptian history.

A Superficial Pamphlet,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hyksos Period in Egypt (Shire Egyptology) (Paperback)
Outside of some photos of plain-vanilla museum pieces,
this thin pamphlet can tell us nothing about the Hyksos period in Canaan or Egypt. It is foggy. It has no sense of history or human events at all. A D- school paper. Al Sundel

Hyksos-Egypt's dark Age,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hyksos Period in Egypt (Shire Egyptology) (Paperback)
Shire Egyptology books has put out a series of books on many aspects of Ancient Egypt. This book,THE HYKSOS PERIOD IN EGYPT is a very useful book for an amateur Egyptologist as there are very few books on this period of time. It is short, concise and full of beautiful illustrations. It is definitely on the must have list for those who love Egypt.
