Hyksos-Israelite Seals Replicas (resin cast). The Hyksos ruled Egypt during the 15th dynasty about 1660 to 1550 BC. Some scholars think the Hyksos were proto-Israelites who led the great exodus from Egypt when Ahmose I (brother of Moses?) chased them out. Mounted in a clear plastic box, 4 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches with information on the back.
