[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: The Hyksos took over part of Egypt around 1640 B.C. for about 100 years. Tutankhamun's reign started 400 years later 1332 BC but prior to the late period invasions beginning much later with the Assyrians in 671 BC. Therefore those later nvasions are irrelevant to Tutankhmun There is no historical evidence Tutankhamun was of Hyksos descent or partial Hyksos descent. [/qb][/QUOTE]Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyksos "Even before the [Hyksos] migration, Amenemhat III carried out extensive building works and mining, and Gae Callender notes that "the large intake of Asiatics, which seems to have occurred partly in order to subsidize the extensive building work, may have encouraged the so-called Hyksos to settle in the Delta, thus leading eventually to the collapse of native Egyptian rule." - Callender, Gae, "The Middle Kingdom Renaissance," in Ian Shaw, ed. [i]The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt[/i], Oxford University Press, 2003. p. 157. It looks like a couple of centuries before the Hyksos invasion, large numbers of Asiatics had already settled into the north-eastern Nile Delta region. [/QB][/QUOTE]1) That doesn't prove Tutankhmun was related to the Hyksos or tha the average Egyptian had Hyksos admixture 2) The origin of the Hyksos is not even known [/QB][/QUOTE]
