[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] To move this Hyksos Kerma thing back where it started before it hopefully spins a new thread of its own. I don't know about the Kerma Keshli helping the Hyksos. I do know the Keshli and the Hyksos helped themselves to slices of KM.t territory. I want to learn about any actual practical Hyksos Kerma alliance. All I can dig up is this one letter the Hyksos wrote to the Kerma Keshli that never even made it to the proposed recipient: [QUOTE] Apophis tried to expand the war to a second front, by calling on the ruler of Kush, at Egypt's southern border, to attack Kamose to the rear. As the inscription indicates, Apophis' plan did not succeed. From the INSCRIPTION OF KAMOSE AT KARNAK ==================================================== (18) ... I captured (19) his messenger in the oasis upland, as he was going south to Kush with a written dispatch, and I found on it the following, in writing by the hand of the Ruler of Avaris: (20) "[É] son of Re, Apophis greets my son the ruler of Kush. Why have you arisen as ruler without letting me know? Do you (21) see what Egypt has done to me? The Ruler which is in her midst - Kamose-the-Mighty, given life! - is pushing me off my (own) land! I have not attacked him in any way comparable to (22) all that he has done to you; he has chopped up the Two Lands to their grief, my land and yours, and he has hacked them up. Come north! Do not hold back! (23) See, he is here with me: There is none who will stand up to you in Egypt. See, I will not give him a way out until you arrive! Then we (24) shall divide the towns of Egypt, and [i][Khent]-hen-nofer[/i]{12} shall be in joy." Note 12. another name for Kush 2nd stela of Kamose (Habachi 1972) [/QUOTE][IMG]http://www.tierradefaraones.com/segundo_periodo_int/dinastia_17/images/17d.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
