EgyptQuest
The Israelites of the bible could not have been Hyksos or ever encounterd them.
The Hyksos were supposed to have been driven out by Ahmose... that was at least 200 years before the first Rameses.
Exodus states the children helped build the treasure city of Rameses.
There was no treasure city of Rameses until after Rameses was born and became ruler.. 200 plus years after the Hyksos were expelled.
When the Israelites entered Egypt, there were less than 80 of them (which included their non Israelite wives).
The first Israelites to exist were the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel.
There were no Israelites on earth except those sons... of course their wives were non Israelites.. some wives are identified as Canaanites and of course the Egyptian wife of Josphus.
Of course none of the hieroglypic text indicates that any such people ever ruled Egypt.
If you know of any evidence of the existence of any 'Hyksos' written in hieroglyphs you can post here or send me an e-mail.. EncEg_Hyksos-owner@yahoogroups.com
