Welcome to The Real History. A blog where I talk about the real historical inspirations for my YA fantasy debut “Treasures of Egypt.”
The Hyksos — Rulers of Foreign Lands
In the long history of Egypt, an intriguing chapter unfolded with the arrival of the Hyksos on the political scene as the new rulers of Egypt. This group, whose name translates to "rulers of foreign lands," left a lasting impact on Egypt that is still felt more than three thousand years after their fall. Today we will discuss the arrival of these mysterious people, their ascent to dominance, their fall, and how they are depicted in the YA fantasy novel, Treasures of Egypt: the Spear & the Scythe.
