Doing some research on the Biblical exile of the Israelites in Egypt I find a complete void of Egyptian sources which mention the hebrews. The texts I've looked at which examine the egyptian source documents are all at least a couple decades old. Are there any recently discovered documents which shed some light on this period? Who is doing research in this are that might be willing to answer some questions for a novice egyptologist? Also, along the same line, are there recent discoveries shedding light on the identity of the Hyksos? I've read speculation that they were Semites, but have yet to see anything I would regard as substantial evidence toward verifying this. -- Michael IsBell ..!tektronix!tekecs!mikei MS 61-215 Tektronix, Inc.
