| From around 1700 bc a much lighter chariot drawn by only two animals was developed, with which the Hyksos conquered Egypt. |
| In 1575 B.C., a Thebian dynasty drove out the Hyksos and reunited the kingdom. |
| That was after Ahmose, a Theban ruler, defeated the Hyksos, who controlled the Lower Egypt. |
| There's good evidence that by the time of the Hyksos, a large part of Egyptian culture was lost to the Egypt of the day. |
| After the Bronze Age, Amorites, Western Semites, Hyksos and Hittites successively invaded the area. |
| The Hyksos and the Nubians, who had formed an alliance, surrounded the Thebans for almost 100 years. |
