The Hyksos Mystery

The Shepherd-Kings known as Hyksos entered Egypt from the North and lived in Lower Egypt until gaining offices of power and took over.  In the OT/Bible, a Nomadic group (Abraham's family) enters from the North and settles there, until the "Egyptians saw how numerous they were so decided to enslave them,"  but what if the Egyptians were the "slaves"?  The word Aram is Egyptian for "Babylon."  Abraham's original name was "Abram."  So if the Hyksos came from Babylon this would be like "foreign exchange students" living in a foreign country.  The Hyksos "worshiped Seth" (their version of "Baal") in Egypt, as did later 19th Dynasty of Ramses the Great and his father Sety 1.  Ahmoses 1 "Liberated Egypt from the Hyksos" -- the Hyksos introduced chariots, better weapons and armor, so it was believed these technologies were used in "invading Egypt and taking over."  Why did they take over Lower Egypt?  The Bible has it that the early form of the Israelites entered Egypt as shepherds.  The Hyksos after leaving Egypt and becoming literate became the Israelites, the Habiru or "outcasts" developed around the same time so became confused with the expelled group.  Habiru is Egyptian word for Hebrew.  Israel existed by the time of Merenptah who "conquered Israel," so they had to have existed for a longer time than Ramses 2's reign, thus at the start of Ahmoses 1.
