The arrival of the Hyksos was not so much an invasion as an infiltration. Excavations in the Nile Delta have shown that as early as the nineteenth century BCE, Iarge numbers of Canaanite immigrants had begun to settle there, building towns similar to those in Canaan. By the mid-seventeenth century, the Semitic population in the delta had managed to gain political control of much of northern Egypt, with Avaris as their capital. During the next century their domination widened, encompassing most of Lower and Middle Egypt. The Egyptians called these non-indigenous people heqaw khasut, 'rulers of foreign lands', a designation rendered into Greek during the first millennium as Hyksos.
The period of domination by Canaanites ledthe Egyptians to take an interest in controlling the area beyond their homeland, resulting in the conquest of a huge empire that included Canaan and Syria, all the way to the Euphrates River.

Who were the Hyksos in ancient Egypt?
The Hyksos settled in the eastern Nile Delta and Middle Egypt around the beginning of the second millennium BCE, becoming the ruling elite in much of Egypt during much of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries BCE. Paintings of the Hyksos people show them wearing cloaks identified with the semitic peoples of the northern Levant, and they had Canaanite names, but most archeologists describe the Hyksos as multi-ethnic.
