In a famous letter the Hyksos ruler of Avaris, Apepi I (Apophis), wrote to Seqenenre telling him that he (Apepi) and his people were unable to sleep because of the roar of hippopotami in Thebes (Thebes is 500 miles away from Avaris). He advised Seqenenre to remove the hippos from the canal. The letter exists only in fragment (at the British museum) so how the story ends is unknown but it remains a fascinating piece of history. One interpretation of the letter is that Apepi was a worshipper of Seth. The hippo was a sacred animal to the cult of Seth so the letter may have been a coded reference to the persecution of Apepi's adherents (asiatics?) in Thebes. Hatshepsut was Ahmose I's great grand daughter. [/QB][/QUOTE]
