After all maybe they were smater than us the Hyksos, look what happened when we invaded Iraq and thought it a good idea to take out all the infrastructure and civil service along with the dictator.
From the way the Hyksos outwardly adopted things Egyptian I would guess they largely kept the beurocracy as it was and just placed key people in it.
From what I remember, the Hyksos adopted some Egqyptian ways, but also Minoan (loosely speaking) to judge from the frescoes that were found in Avaris. They were very un-Eqyptian in other ways. A few times while discussing this, the word "Crusader" in regard to the Hyksos has popped into my head for some reason. Not sure why. They were a hated invader to the Egyptians, with obscure 'foreign' ways, I guess, but who took on some of the Egyptian trappings. Maybe that's it.
Are their names Canaanite names of the Levant coasts, do you think? If Myceanaens, would they have used Canaanite names as their Empire included at least some of Canaan as well as Lower Egypt? The "obscure race" still intrigues me. Maybe they adopted 'Canaanite' trappings as well, if they were actually ancient Greeks? (I assume here, for instance, names like 'Yakub' are Canaanite names).

True. There was a lot of 'Egyptian' focused material in the early parts of their Myth. I suspect the Israelites brought a body of previously collected material to Babylon, and the collecting continued once they got there.

Re: The Exodus
The more I think about it, Avaris may have been an early Babylon. A hub of civilization once the Hyksos cemented their rule and became less warrior-like and more Minoan-like.

Re: The Exodus
Did a bit of (quick) digging and as far as I can tell Yakub is a modern version of Yaqub, which in turn has its root in the Arab form of Ya'aqov which is Jacob!

Re: The Exodus
I've got it! (Maybe???)
Thera knocks the Stuffing out of the Minoan Civilization and it's trading network countries (a heap of City States around the Great Green Sea). The warlike tribal (barbarian) Myceanaens are less affected, invade down along the Levant coast and into the prime-for-the-plucking Avaris where they install a Dynasty which in time, as stated above, restores a trading network around the Great Green Sea. Avaris is in a special position and recovers quicker than other Cities and so becomes the capital of a new trading empire, though it's Rules is hated by the native Egyptian Dynasts. Avaris certainly became a huge city in the Hyksos period.
We've solved it all, Petty!

Re: The Exodus
I'd swear it was your turn -- again...
Do you know if Yakub is Canaanite or not?
Btw just because te Israelites call "Yakub" their ancestor (if it's him) doesn't make the ancestral association true, methinks.
It would be curious if they've turned "Yakub" the Mighty Pharoah (and Oppressor, depending on if you're an Native Egyptian or not) into the lovely-nice "Israel" himself, "Father of our People". I mean, it would be like turning Ahmose, the Egyptian Liberator, into Moses, the Israelite Liberator, wouldn't it!

Yakub is Arabic. But that it seems is an Arabic translation of the Hebrew. But the name must have predated the Hebrew language.

Re: The Exodus
Jacob means- "holder of the heel" or "supplanter".
Mmm would you call southern Egypt a heel?

Mm so potentially we have a Jacob who got his name for being known as someone who supplanted someone, assailed insidously but overeached himself.

Re: The Exodus
If Manetho (I think it was him) gave us the name, then it might have been given as a derogatory term. Manetho saw the Hyksos as Egyptian Oppressors, so the names used may have been Egyptian nicknames (of sorts). Did Jakob come to Avaris and later supplant his Hyksos predecessor - or even a local Egyptian Dynast - then what you say sounds tantalising.
I had a quick Wikipeek. It is not certain what language Yakub comes down from though.
I like your thinking on this, mind. I wonder what the other Hyksos names might mean? As another thought, the Egyptians may not even have used the Hyksos proper names. They may have called them "King" or "Pharoah" or something, especially if they were under their thumbs? So the names Manetho (?) uses might be just nicknames after all, same as with the Israelite (Jakobite? ) writers --- which is ironic, as the Israelies are even today viewed by some as 'supplanters'.
What does "Israel" mean, I wonder? I should know.

Re: The Exodus
Well depends which side you place Jacob on really, if he was on the Hyksos side it might be viewed they lost in the end to the egyptains becuase they tried to take to much to fast and over reached themselves in ambition.
Conversely if Jacob was on the Egpyptian side of the border the name might refer to the 'hold back' meaning- and he might have been credited with halting the Hyksos from making any further inroads north.

Oh, I see.
Maybe the Egyptians knew Yakub to be a nasty piece of work. Did he assassinate his predecessor? Did he fawn on a local Egyptian Dynast, get into his confidences, then turn on him like a rat? And this is the Israelite hero! In fact, 'Israel' himself!

But he was a Hyksos himself. Maybe you mean he held back the Egyptians? And north of where btw?

Re: The Exodus
Look what I found in that most trustworthy of resources, Wikipedia.
"As to a Hyksos “conquest,” some archaeologists depict the Hyksos as “northern hordes . . . sweeping through Palestine and Egypt in swift chariots.” Yet, others refer to a ‘creeping conquest,’ that is, a gradual infiltration of migrating nomads or seminomads who either slowly took over control of the country piecemeal or by a swift coup d’etat put themselves at the head of the existing government." [My italics].
Jacob as 'supplanter'? Or a 'tribe' by name "Jacob'(later 'Israel'), as 'supplanter'? Plot thickens, Petty.

Hyksos = Lower Egypt (North)
Egyptians = Upper Egypt (South).
Though the Hyksos held sway over the South and held Memphis, their Capital (apparently). So maybe Lower and Middle Egypt might be a better way of saying it. The Egyptian Dynasts were in Thebes and sub-Dynasts under the Hyksos, I guess. I believe the Thebans still ruled that part of Egypt, this being the XVIIth Dynasty, who became the XVIIIth Dynasty under Ahmose I. The XVIIth and XVIIIth are really the one and same Dynasty, but Ahmose came to Rule both Upper and Lower Egypt whereas the XVIIth Dynasts ruled only Upper Egypt, and this under Hyksos Overlordship). (I think).

Yes, but thats my point- are you sure he was?
I'm as sure as I can be. He was at least listed as a Hyksos King somewhere.

Re: The Exodus
I dont see it on the Kings List for the period.
Skhaenre Shalik
Maibre Sheshy
Meruserenre Yacobher
Seweserenre
Khayan
Aauserre
Nebkhepeshre
Aasehre
And known vassals-
Saket, Wadjed, Qar, Niraka, Nubuserre, Khauserre, AAhetepre, Yakboam, Yoam, Am, Yakbaa, Nubankhre, Seneferankhre Apopi, Anathher, Semqen, Usernath, Nebmaatre
It seems fairly even on semitic and egyptian names- I wonder what made the choice of which to go for? Notably more of the vassals have Egyptian names than the rulers which might be telling.
