Abstract

The Hyksos Age is an obscure period: among its unsettled questions we count even the identities and order of its kings. The present article aims at identifying the kings of Dynasty 15 by studying the available archaeological sources, mainly artefacts from Avaris/Tell el-Dab'a and scarab seriations, and the written sources, especially Manetho, the Memphite Genealogy, and the Turin King List. The kings Sakir-Har, Sheshi, Ya'qub-Har, Khyan, and Auserra Apepi I = Aqenenra Apepi I are proposed as having ruled successively in Dynasty 15. The dynasty begins at about the same time as Dynasty 14, which was its vassal. The study presents insights obtained by previous scholars but also sheds new light on the period.
