With this kind of rent-seeking area gone, the Hyksos would have had to find a new homeland where they could toil the soil. They would have fled with their wealth. Perhaps enough gold to forge an entire golden calf? Who could tell in this age. :) Returning to the BAC/Sea Peoples:With this kind of rent-seeking area gone, the Hyksos would have had to find a new homeland where they could toil the soil.

In all of the ancient past, only one group of people fit this description: The Hyksos who were expelled from Egypt. These people created a capital called Avaris, which blocked and taxed much trade into Egypt by land or sea. You could think of it as the ancient Suez Canal. :)In all of the ancient past, only one group of people fit this description: The Hyksos who were expelled from Egypt.

The time between the Hyksos expulsion from Egypt (which would be the "Exodus" in the OT) and the Sea peoples is within one or two centuries however! This would have created a great deal of refugees. One other event is said to have happened around this time: The Trojan war.The time between the Hyksos expulsion from Egypt (which would be the "Exodus" in the OT) and the Sea peoples is within one or two centuries however!

The Hyksos do sound similar to the sea peoples, but we cannot be so certain: The timelines do not quite align -- but only if we buy the supposed carbon-dating methodology used to time the sea peoples attack, supposedly 3300 years ago. The Hyksos attacked Egypt ~400 years earlier.The Hyksos do sound similar to the sea peoples, but we cannot be so certain: The timelines do not quite align -- but only if we buy the supposed carbon-dating methodology used to time the sea peoples attack, supposedly 3300 years ago.

Josephus, the inventor of Jewish history, cited Manetho in order to defend Jewish people. Manetho had attacked Moses as a misanthropic Shepard of "lepers"* and linked the Jews to the Hyksos who occupied a part of Egypt for 500 years before being expelled into Palestine.Josephus, the inventor of Jewish history, cited Manetho in order to defend Jewish people.

Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos has lived in my head from the start and the title inspired one of my favorite narrative poems, Black Stélé In The Hour Of Chaos about the gods of ancient Egypt being overrun by those Greek & Roman upstarts...
Honestly, this is better than my initial plan Because Assyria, Babylonia, and the Hyksos were all founded by Amorite rulers And the Aramaeans, Chaldaeans and Canaanites (including the Phoenicians and Hebrews) also descend from Amorites
