New research suggests the Hyksos dynasty of ancient Egypt was likely the result of an immigrant uprising, not a hostile outside invasion.

	franciscosan, are you saying that you agree? The quote from the article is hardly proof of anything as far as sudden invasions are concerned. Isn't there a trail through the Sahara littered with carefully wrapped (not mummified but 'prepared') human remains and evidence of a culture being pushed across Africa towards the Nile delta by the growing desert? "They found that a large percentage of the populace were non-locals who immigrated from a wide variety of other places. This pattern was true both before and during the Hyksos dynasty. This pattern does not match the story of a sudden invasion from a single far-off land, but of a multi-cultural region where one internal group -- the Hyksos -- eventually rose to power after living there for generations. "
