In the 18th Century BCE Egypt was split between two parallel dynasties, with Canaananite immigrants complicating the problem. In the following century the Hyksos moved into lower Egypt as settlers, and when there was a gap in the succession of the existing pharaonic line, the seized control in northern Egypt, while the pharaonic line continued in southern Egypt - the two regimes existed in parallel until the south was able to retake control.
