to XV dynasty

XVIth Dynasty c.1620 - c.1540

to XVII dynasty

Dynasty of so-called Small Hyksos, consisting of Hyksos dukes being most probably vassals of the Great Hyksoses from the Dynasty XV. Derivation of their names is either Egyptian or Asiatic. The present evidence is too scant to distinguish if they are of Egyptian origin or somehow related to the Great Hyksos ruling in Awaris, or finally their names are nothing else as a work of fiction...
