Second Intermediate Period of Ancient Egypt

After the death of Queen Neferusobek, the decision was made to move the capital to Thebes in the south, which had the effect of reducing northern control. This was the beginning of the end for the Middle Kingdom. The Second Intermediate Period that resulted from this lasted for about two centuries.

Increased trade and immigration led to a wave of Semitic peoples settling in Avaris in the Delta, eventually exerting political influence throughout the kingdom. Referred to by Greek historians as ‘Hyksos’, this name has persisted in the historical record, marking their rule in the north and the continued Egyptian rule of the Thirteenth Dynasty at Thebes in the south. The records of this period are confused or absent.

The Hyksos were driven out of Egypt by Ahmose I and the Two Lands united once again, marking the beginning of the New Kingdom.

The order of Egyptian pharaohs is not always fixed. New discoveries can sometimes lead to changes in the accepted sequence. This is true for all Egyptian dynasties.
