Were Hyksos from Syria were never truly accepted into Egyptian communities and were always considered foreigners although they controlled Egypt?
True. The Egyptians considered the Hyksos as foreign usurpers of the Egyptian throne. When the Hyksos were eventually driven out of Egypt, all traces of their occupation were erased. No accounts survive recording the history of the period from the Hyksos perspective, only that of the native Egyptians who evicted the occupiers. However, conversely, the use of Egyptian names and symbols in the hieroglyphics of later Hyksos rulers indicates that the Hyksos considered themselves relatively Egyptianized.
Where do Hyksos come from?
The Hyksos were a group of mixed Semitic-Asiatic peoples who originated from the Levant, particularly the region that includes modern-day Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. They migrated into Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period (around 1650-1550 BCE) and established themselves as rulers in the Nile Delta. Their presence marked a significant period of foreign influence in Egypt, as they introduced new technologies, including the horse-drawn chariot. The name "Hyksos" itself is derived from an Egyptian term meaning "rulers of foreign lands."
