Description:

Play as the agent of chaos, Apophis; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

The Hyksos were a people of dubious origins from Retjenu, the lands east of Egypt. They likely descend from the Canaanites, a broad Semitic people from the north of the Sinai Peninsula. They were once thought to have invaded Egypt as a disruptive, barbaric tribe that initiated the Second Intermediate Period. It is now accepted that Semitic people gradually migrated into the Nile Delta where they found employment as merchants or shipbuilders under the rule of pharaohs. The Hyksos erupted once later Semitic poured into Egypt to take advantage of the 13th and 14th Dynasties of Egypt. The Hyksos lasted a century before being put down by the nascent 18th Dynasty in an event that ushered in the New Kingdom of Egypt.
