Question 3

Identification
-Hyksos

Accepted Answer

The Hyksos were a group of people who invaded and ruled ancient Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period, around 1650-1550 BCE. They were a Semitic-speaking people, possibly from the Levant region, who established their capital at Avaris in the Nile Delta.

The Hyksos are important because their invasion and rule marked a significant period of foreign domination in ancient Egypt. They introduced new military technology, such as the horse-drawn chariot, and influenced Egyptian culture and society. The Hyksos were eventually expelled from Egypt by the pharaoh Ahmose I, leading to the reunification of the country and the start of the New Kingdom. This event had a lasting impact on Egyptian history and the development of their civilization.
