For around 45 years they gained control over lower Egypt and in c. 1640, a Hyksos chieftain named Salatis forced the Egyptian ruler out of Memphis.

The seventeenth dynasty of Egyptians princes from Thebes continued to rule in semi-independence but paid allegiance and tribute to the Hyksos kings in the north.
Lying underneath the complex layers of these novels are backbones built upon biblical allusions. The Trask and Price families both struggle to create paradise within the hells that they are living so that they will be able to survive the challenges of daily existence. These two families are forced to choose between submitting to tradition, and thus God, and their own need for fulfillment.

One disadvantage to Truman’s decision to support Israel in becoming a sovereign country is that U.S. relations with the Arabs can be affected. Also, creating a partition in Palestine in order to create a country for Jews would cause anti-Americanism. Another con to helping Israel become a sovereign country is that it would require U.S. troops to enforce the partition.

Ancient Egypt gave us elaborate art, improved writing through scribes, reflections on the meaning of life amongst many other history changing factors. Unfortunately, this civilization was not created on good will and kindness to all. The Pyramids themselves were built on the backs of slaves, and the mass amounts of warfare used to acquire the lands required to expand Egypt’s empire has left a trail of bloodshed throughout history.
