EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the Invasion of the Hyksos, a pivotal moment in ancient Egyptian history that occurred around 1650 BC. The Hyksos, also known as the Shepherd Kings or Hikau-khoswet, were a group of foreign rulers who originated from the Levant and established a dynasty in Egypt, marking the Second Intermediate Period. The invasion is believed to have taken place when the Hyksos, led by their military might and advanced chariot technology, overthrew the 13th Dynasty of Egypt. This event marked the beginning of the Hyksos rule, which lasted for approximately 150 years. Despite the name "Shepherd Kings," there is evidence to suggest that the Hyksos were not pastoralists but rather skilled warriors and administrators. The misnomer likely arose due to the depiction of Hyksos rulers in Egyptian art wearing horned headdresses, which were associated with shepherds in Egyptian iconography. This photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of ancient Egypt. The image portrays the invasion as a chaotic scene, with Egyptian soldiers clashing with the invading Hyksos forces. The desert landscape in the background adds to the sense of otherworldliness and the vastness of the historical event. The Invasion of the Hyksos is an important chapter in the history of Egypt and the broader ancient Near East. It marked a significant shift in the political and cultural landscape of the region, with far-reaching consequences that would last for centuries. This photograph serves as a reminder of the dynamic and intriguing history that continues to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
