  • January 1659 BC: The XVth Dynasty of Egypt was formed in Avaris around 1660 by the Hyksôs, which means "heads of foreign countries". We do not know their exact origin but they must have been either a people from the Middle East or a coalition of peoples who had immigrated to the delta from the Middle Kingdom. The Hyksos probably conquered also Xois.
