1 jan 1800 ano antes da era comum - Hyksos people begin settling in the Nile Delta

Descrição:

Hyksos = "rulers of the uplands"

"various groups migrated throughout the Fertile Crescent and then accommodated themselves to local cultures (Map 1.2). Some settled in the Nile Delta, including a group the Egyptians called Hyksos, which means “rulers of the uplands.” Although they were later portrayed as a conquering horde, the Hyksos were actually migrants looking for good land, and their entry into the delta, which began around 1800 B.C.E., was probably gradual and generally peaceful."

"The Hyksos brought with them the methods of making bronze and casting it into tools and weapons that became standard in Egypt. The Hyksos also brought inventions that revolutionized Egyptian warfare, including bronze armor and weapons as well as horse-drawn chariots and the composite bow made of laminated wood and horn, which was far more powerful than the simple wooden bow.
The migration of the Hyksos, combined with a series of famines and internal struggles for power, led Egypt to fragment politically in what later came to be known as the Second Intermediate Period (1640–1570 B.C.E.). "
