I have read a lot of literature about the Hyksos, and according to Mourad in the work "Rise of the Hyksos Egypt and the Levant, from the Middle Kingdom to the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period", they presented fundamentally northern Levantine archaeological characteristics,
however, I would like to ask if the hypothesis of an IE origin of the Hyksos is really as "discredited" as historians say?
there is no basis at all?
I would like to know if there are good arguments and evidence for such a hypothesis, I am open.
Unfortunately, I have noticed a certain hysterical childishness about some of the opponents of this hypothesis with arguments such as "fitted European dreams of Indo-European supremacy, now discredited" (Van de Mieroop) I do not believe that this is a consistent counter-argument.
Before you label me as Eurocentric, know that I am aware that ancient Egypt was not a European civilization or any kind of objection like that. Thank you.
