Bedouins, shepherds.]
A dynasty of Egyptian kings, often called the {Shepherd
kings}, of foreign origin, who, according to the narrative of
Manetho, ruled for about 500 years, forming the XVth and
XVIth dynasties. It is now considered that the XVIth is
merely a double of the XVth dynasty, and that the total
period of the six Hyksos kings was little more than 100
years. It is supposed that they were Asiatic Semites.
