The 18th dynasty was preceded by the [[Second Intermediate Period]] which comprised dynasties 15-17. The [[Hyksos]] were foreigners to Egypt who took over and ruled [[Lower Egypt]] after the 14th dynasty (15th and 16th dynasty) for around 400 years. Some archaeologist thought that the [[Hyksos]] leaving Egypt could have been the Exodus that they were searching for. The Hyksos, while they were foreigner to Egypt like the Israelites, they were not slaves.

Others suggest that the [[Hyksos]] appear to have invaded Egypt not long after the Israelite Exodus which left Egypt crippled. The [[Hyksos]] settled in the recently vacated town of [[Tel ed Daba]] previously occupied by the Israelites. They built a forte there and it was renamed [[Avaris]]. | |||
The pyramids of the 12th dynasty were constructed out of mudbricks and then faced with limestone. Archaeologists have generally discounted the possibility that the Israelites had anything to do with the building of the pyramids because of the issues of chariots. | The pyramids of the 12th dynasty were constructed out of mudbricks and then faced with limestone.
