The Greek word "hyksos" is a distortion of the Egyptian phrase "heka khasewet" ("foreign rulers"), so Egyptian writers mentioned "hyksos" (usually meaning "rulers of foreign lands" rather than "foreign-born rulers of Egypt") left and right (the Turin King List, for example, if full of such mentions)!. The problem is, the term is generic and has been known to refer to the rulers of Nubia, Syria, and Canaan, to name a few!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
