Also heard the claim there’s no historical record of the biblical king David’s existence. At least not from any other neighbouring ruler anywhere near his alleged lifetime
I think we can argue that “hebrews” had no memory of being hyksos (if in fact they were, we don’t know) because hebrews had no recollection of the period when Egypt ruled Canaan, which occured after the Hyksos left Egypt. How can they know stuff about a time period that precedes such a major political event they have no knowlege of?
Answer: the Hebrews are a “made up” people (as many others are) that did not exist until 1000 bc or so. And they didn’t write shit down for several hundred years after that. Their entire history is unreliable.
Its fun to speculate whether the Hyksos really had the “jewish moxie” or not. So Ill post links to some of Pharoah Kamose’s inscriptions discussing the Hyksos (asiatic) which may be relevant.
