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."
