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.
