[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]Unlike you, I'm not distorting the facts. Was the Hyksos invasion violent? In some places yes, in others no. Not all Egyptians stood up to the Hyksos and some welcomed the relative stability they brought to Egypt. From the time of the invasion until the the murder of Seqenere Tao there was little to no resistance against the Hyksos.[/QUOTE] The Wasetan[Theban] family to the south called the northern Hykos rulers ilgeitmate rulers. You can read from the literature from this period that not all of the confrontations in Egypt was a peaceful one. The fact that the Delta region cooperated with the Hykos only shows that around the First Intermediate Period lots of Asiatic people were moving into the Delta. I have explain this many times on the forum that something like the Tales of Sinuhe illustrates that both the Delta and Upper Egypt were distinct as they are today in Egypt. Probabaly in ethnicity as well as language,for it was often very hard for a Delta man to talk to a man from Upper Egypt. The Delta Egyptians around this time might have had more loyalthy towards the Hykos than to the Upper Egyptians. The patron deity of the Hykos that alinged with their own deity was Set. The patron animal of Set was sometimes a hippo that the southernly Wasetan[Theban] family would often spear. The spearing of the Hippo had some religious significance that started hostility between the Hykos and Wasetan Egyptians. This action to the Hykos consistuted a battle,for which Sequenen Re Tao decided to attack,and later his desendants drove the Hykos out of Egypt. You see the speaing of the Hippo was in defiance of the rulership of the Hykos. Have you read Manetho,neo*geo? My sugestion to you is read some of what Manetho has to say about the Hykos,but take his words with some salt,for Manetho in the past has been found to be wrong. [/QB][/QUOTE]
