"Bietak noted that the two seals also indicate that the Hyksos, known
as the shepherd kings and had been notorious Asiatic invaders, had
trade relations with the Far East that stretched to Babylonia."

Dr. Thiering on the Hyksos
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qumran_origin/message/5309

"Envying the security of cities, [Semitic nomads] often tried taking
them over. One group of
them, called the Hyksos, succeeded for a time in gaining control of
Egypt, but
their ferocious habits were incompatible with the placid, secure
Egyptian
lifestyle, and they were eventually thrown out. They reverted to their
nomad
lifestyle in the Sinai peninsula and beyond. But they had learned a
great deal
from Egypt, and now compromised between the city and the wilderness by
arranging
for a single place of worship, erected on a high position, where
priests who had
acquired learning inspired awe and gave direction."

Unflush.

There is no hobbyhorse, a piece of your wild imagination.

You have nothing to contribute to the topic because
you go off on wild goose chases.

BTW I really enjoyed the thrashing that Eric

Original press release:
<http://public.univie.ac.at/index.php?id=6576&no_cache=1&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=13389&tx_ttnews[backPid]=6088&cHash=93b0854ca5>

"Es handelt sich um ein Siegel, das in die altbabylonische Zeit
datiert und einen hohen babylonischen Beamten, vermutlich aus der Zeit
des Königs Hammurapi, nennt. Es ist denkbar, dass dieser Fund aus einem
darunter befindlichen Tempelbezirk stammt, der mit dem Hyksospalast
zeitgleich ist."

Old-Babylonian, yes, but Hyksos contemporary to Hammurabi?

Eeeeeewwww! That's gross, Carl. Stop unflushing your hobbyhorse
manure. No wonder she divorced you.

"a subject to which one constantly reverts"

Use the Search Facility with the proper KEYWORDS and find the
definition of "hobbyhorse." As long as you constantly revert the
subect of Babs, you're on the hobbyhorse. Dictionarily and
Lexicographically confirmed and crunched. Comments?
