from Xois
(? -1640 BC) |
A number of 76 kings are
said to have ruled this dynasty, according to Egyptian historian,
Manetho.
The circumstances at that time tell us about the deterioration of
the situation.
It was clear that Asiatics started to settle in eastern Delta and
started a dynasty that is said to be contemporary to this dynasty.
This royal house established their reign alongside the 13th
dynasty.
However, they were ruling in the central Delta at Xois (currently
Sakha).
The most famous Xoite kings is Nehesy who left us a stela
dedicated to god Seth
describing him as the god of Avaris (eastern Delta capital of the
Asiatics). The dynasty soon fell as the Hyksos
swayed the country. |
