thread_title: The Elephant in the Room

message: The Bronze Age city (actually one level at the most) "has been identified as a fortified Hyksos city", quoted from Whalid Khalidi, All That Remains, p. 246. The use of the term regarding the city is at least problematic, if not outright wrong. Khalidi is not a reliable source for BA archaeology. How does the city qualify as "Hyksos" (Egyptian for "ruler(s) of foreign lands"), as opposed to "Canaanite"? True, something described in a IAA dig report as a "Hyksos tomb" was excavated in nearby Bnei Brak (see here), but many junior archaeologists make mistakes. See what I mean for instance here:
"The use of the term Hyksos (Egy. ḥkɜw Ḫɜswt) to refer to the Semitic population has created a misnomer, as these Canaanites were not "foreign rulers" in their homeland in southern Levant. Thus the term Hyksos should be reserved to refer exclusively to the rulers of Avaris in Egypt during the Fifteenth Dynasty (ca. 1640–1540 B.C.E.)."."
Maybe the tomb has been characterised as "Hyksos" to indicate that the grave goods are of a type known from Hyksos Egypt, and maybe there are characteristics typical of Egyptian material culture from the Fifteenth Dynasty, which one might for the sake of brevity call "Hyksos". But unless there is a reliable source characterising Tell Jerishe during the 17th-16th c. BCE as an Egyptian city (garrison town or whatever) with typical Egyptian-"Hyksos" findings, the term seems simply wrong. Arminden (talk) 08:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
