Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History

From the End of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt
to the Advent of Alexander the Great

28. The "Amalekite city" which was captured by Saul was Auaris.

29. As the result of his victory at Auaris, Saul freed Egypt and the entire Near East.

30. In the siege of Auaris, Saul was assisted by Kamose and Ahmose, the vassal princes of Thebes.

31. Manetho's story about the Hyksos leaving Auaris by agreement reflects the scriptural incident concerning the Kenites leaving the besieged Amalekite fortress.

32. The invasion of southern Palestine by the escaping remnants of the Hyksos is reflected in I Samuel 30; and their further destruction at Sheruhen, in the Talmudic story of Joab's war against the capital of the Amalekites.

33. This last bastion of the Amalekites was probably on one of the rocks of Petra.

34. Manetho confused Sheruhen with Jerusalem, and the Israelites, the redeemers of Egypt, with the Hyksos.

35. This confusion spread in the Ptolemaic time and became the cause of the rise of anti-Semitism which, fed from different channels, survived until today.

36. The period of the Wanderings in the Desert, of Joshua, and of the Judges, corresponds to the time of Hyksos domination in Egypt and the Near East. The period of the Hyksos lasted for more than four hundred years. The archaeological findings of the Hyksos period in Palestine appertain to the time of the Conquest and the Judges.

37. Two kingdoms rose on the ruins of the Hyksos Empire: the kingdom of Israel under David, and the New Kingdom of Egypt under the Eighteenth Dynasty. The beginnings of these two dynasties are not separated by six centuries; they started simultaneously.

IN SEARCH OF AMALEK

excerpt:

‘There was a king of ours, whose name was Timaus.
Under him it came to pass, I know not how, that God
was averse to us; and there came, after a surprising
manner, men of ignoble birth out of the eastern parts,
and had boldness enough to make an expedition into
our country, and with ease subdued it by force, yet
112
without our hazarding a battle with them. So when
they had gotten those that governed us under their
power, they afterwards burnt down our cities, and
demolished the temples of the gods, and used all the
inhabitants after a most barbarous manner; nay, some
they slew, and led their children and their wives into
slavery. At length they made one of themselves king,
whose name was Salatis . . . . . He chiefly aimed to
secure the eastern parts, . . . . and ... he found . . . a
city very proper for his purpose. . . called Avaris, this
he rebuilt, and made very strong by the walls he built
about it, and by a most numerous garrison of two
hundred and forty thousand armed men whom he put
into it to keep it ... . This whole nation was styled
HYCSOS — that is, shepherd-kings.... But some say
that these people were Arabians . . . . These people,
whom we have before named kings and called shepherds
also, and their descendants kept possession of Egypt
five hundred and eleven years.’
