jul 1, 1892 BC - "Abishai" leads "Aamu" into Egypt

Description:

the Aamu group from Shu, Asiatic nomadic traders who are sometimes considered Hyksos or at least their forerunners; the group, led by a man called Absha (or Abisha, Abishai, Abishua), was bringing offerings to the deceased.[7]: 190  Though there are fifteen people depicted in the scene, the accompanying inscription mentions there were 37 persons. In this depiction, they are bringing offerings to the deceased official Khumhotep II.

37 Persons could be refering to just them men, therefore 37 families and well over one hundred people.

Aamu could also be translated as "Aramu" or Aramean. If these are the early israelites, this would only confirm the passage in dueteronomy 25:5 - "Then you shall declare before the Lord your God: 'My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous.'"

Although the timing does not line up with Jacob's entering into Egypt, it does line up with Abraham's family coming into Egypt, showing a general trend of Arameans begining to enter the region, setting the stage for the later Hyksos dynastys
