Reconstructing the Order of the Kings of the XVth Dynasty (The Hyksos)
There are three sources for reconstructing the order of the Hyksos (XVth) Dynasty:
1. The list of kings in Manetho’s History: Salitis, Bnon, Apachnan, Apopis, Iannas and Assis. This list however was always suspected to be incorrect as to the order of the kings and to their names, which were misspelled and had a distorted form.
2. Monuments and scarabs of the Hyksos kings.
