 Appendix Three
Hyksos Influence in Canaanite Cities


It is definite that after the Hyksos Invasion and conquest of Egypt, the power of the Hyksos Pharaohs was strongly felt in Canaan.

Scarabs of King Apophis (Pepa or Shesha) were found at Lachish (Illustrated London News, Nov 27, 1937 page 944) Palestine Clues, by J. L. Starkey, and there are marked Hyksos levels noted in excavation such cities as Megiddo and Jericho. The indication is that much of Canaan came under Hyksos control in one way or another.
