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. | The 18th dynasty was preceded by the [[Second Intermediate Period]] which comprised dynasties 15-17.

The 17th dynasty was contemporary with the 15th and 16th dynasties. The last pharaohs of the 17th dynasty based in Thebes (Upper Egypt), [[Sequenre Tao]] and his son [[Kahmose]], rebelled against the [[Hyksos]] who were occupying and controlling Lower Egypt (15th & 16th dynasties]]. [[Sequenre Tao]] and [[Kahmose]] were killed fighting the [[Hyksos]]. [[Hyksos]] ([[Amalekites]]) were eventually driven out of Egypt and [[Ahmose I]], the brother of [[Kahmose]] started the 18th dynasty (Egypt's New Kingdom) at the age of 8 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. The [[Hyksos]] were rulers of Egypt during the 15th and 16th dynasty (the Second Intermediate Period) and so they could not have been the Israelites leaving Egypt. | Some archaeologist thought that the [[Hyksos]] leaving Egypt could have been the Exodus that they were searching for.
