ABSTRACT
Invasion and the incursion of foreign rulers into Egypt had once again changed the Egyptians’ perception of their place in the world. Clearly the episode in which the north of the land was ruled by foreigners was deeply traumatic to the people of the Valley. To the kings of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties were attributed all manner of cruelties, blasphemies and general wrongdoing, though these are not apparent from either the archaeological or the documentary records of the times.
