I doubt this puny excavation is Avaris, where up to two hundred and forty thousand men were garrisoned:

“...There, to the east of the Delta, King Salitis discovered a favorably
situated place called Auaris, a strategic point from which to control
both Egypt and Syria.

He rebuilt and strongly fortified it with walls, and established a
garrison there numbering as many as two hundred and forty thou-
sand armed men to protect his frontier. This place he used to visit
every summer, partly to serve out rations and pay to his troops,
partly to give them a careful training in manoeuvres, in order to
intimidate foreigners. 2

The fourth king is called Apophis by Manetho, and he is said to
have ruled for sixty-one years. The first six king-shepherds are con-
sidered the first Hyksos Dynasty of pharaohs. In Manetho-Josephus
it is said of them:

The continually growing ambition of these six, their first rulers,
was to extirpate the Egyptian people. 3

with Syrians (Palestinians) by writers in Greek, see Herodotus (trans. A. D.

68 AGES IN CHAOS

The rule of the Hyksos was cruel. They knew no mercy. Sub-
stantiation of this may be found even in graves. The excavator of
one of the smaller garrison-fortresses of the Hyksos thus described
the contents of a grave: “A heap of bones stacked closely together,
most of them were of animals, but among them I found a piece of
human jaw and patella.” 4 In another grave he found an “apparently
separated arm, superfluous loose hand.”

When we remember what Manetho said about the extreme
cruelty of the invaders, and compare it with the Hebrew narratives
about Amalekites mutilating their prisoners by cutting off members
of the body, 5 the finding of an odd hand or jaw does not seem an
accidental occurrence. The garrison-fortresses were places of tor-
ture.
