The Delta, key for understanding the Second Intermediate Period
The site of Avaris in the eastern Delta showing magnetic survey and excavated buildings of the Hyksos period
Orthogonally planned town at Avaris from the early 12th Dynasty
Those wacky Hyksos and their mashup of foreign and Egyptian elements!
As further evidenced from multiple types of material culture in the eastern Delta, especially Avaris.
And again - burial practices are some of the most "foreign" things at Avaris.
The Theban 17th Dynasty royal family is hard to reconstruct; their coffins incorporate new elements
That? That is a pyramid?
The Middle Kingdom fortresses in Nubia had a very interesting Second Intermediate Period history, as demonstrated in part by stelae such as this.
There is some limited evidence of Nubian campaigns into Egypt itself.
Seqenenre-Taa, initiator of the Theban campaign to overthrow the Hyksos. I wonder if he was ultimately happy with that decision...
