The Hyksos introduced the chariot to Egypt around the 17th century BCE during the Second Intermediate Period. This innovation greatly enhanced military capabilities and transformed warfare in Egypt. The chariot, along with other technologies, played a crucial role in the Hyksos' ability to dominate and later influenced Egyptian military practices after their expulsion.
Hyksos were the first to have chariots
The Hyksos invaders introduced several significant innovations to Egypt at the end of the Middle Kingdom, most notably the horse and chariot, which transformed military tactics. They also brought new weapons, such as bronze tools and improved composite bows, enhancing the effectiveness of warfare. Additionally, the Hyksos influenced Egyptian culture through new agricultural techniques and the introduction of certain foreign deities. Their presence marked a pivotal shift in Egypt's political landscape, leading to the Second Intermediate Period.
with all of the natural barries how were the hyksos able to invade and conquer egypt?
Hyksos
Ahmose I defeated the Hyksos by employing a combination of military strategy and innovative tactics. He utilized chariots, which the Hyksos had introduced to Egypt, and improved upon their use to outmaneuver the enemy. Ahmose also conducted a series of sieges, most notably at Avaris, the Hyksos capital, ultimately leading to their expulsion from Egypt. His victory marked the beginning of the New Kingdom and the reunification of Egypt.

As a counter-attack against the pharoe's repeated attack to the Levant.
Ancient Egypt was invaded by the HYKSOS from the Levant region around 1786 B.C.E.. The Hyksos were notable for using the chariot and other technologies that had not been pioneered in Egypt yet. They would remain in control of Egypt for about a hundred years.
THE HYKSOS were a group of Semitic invaders from the Levant who first brought the chariot into Egypt. (Egypt already had horses, but it was the use of chariots that made the horses a formidable part of a fighting retinue.)
At that point in Egyptian history, Egypt did not yet have the chariot and therefore had no way to defeat the Hittites and Hyksos who used chariots in warfare.
Yes, the Hyksos are credited with introducing the horse-drawn chariot to Egypt during their rule in the Second Intermediate Period (c. 1650-1550 BCE). This innovation significantly transformed Egyptian warfare and transportation, enhancing their military capabilities. The Hyksos' advanced technology and tactics influenced later Egyptian practices, eventually leading to the incorporation of chariotry into the Egyptian army.
1730 B.C. The Hyksos were semites who invaded egypt. They introduced the horse drawn chariot. Their capital city was the delta city Avaris (later Rameses). Their expulsion from Egypt was begun by Kamose and completed by Ahmose. The Hyksos probably were the Pharaohs friendly to Joseph and to Israel. Ahmose, the Pharaoh who expelled the Hyksos, presumably was the Pharaoh who became skeptical of the allegiance of the Hebrews and, therefore, placed them into bondage.

The Hyksos were foreign invaders and managed to maintain control due to superior weaponry. However, eventually that technological edge began to wane as Egyptians copied Hyksos technologies (like the chariot). The Egyptians, being far more numerous, were able to stage an effective rebellion and drive out the Hyksos occupiers.
