Welcome to Deep Dives!

During the 1500s B.C. and the surrounding time periods the ancient world was experiencing series of mass exoduses and immigrations. The dynamics of the geo-political environment during this time was extremely complicated and we seek to shed some light on it during this episode. The first serious threat to Egyptian hegemony came about at the close of the Middle Kingdom. Of course, Egypt had never been quite stable but the 1500s B.C. and the events contained within it would send shockwaves throughout the lands of the Nile. The invading Hyksos armies roll down upon Egypt like tidal waves during this time and is a fascinating time to study. Hope you Enjoy!
