   The story is crap. It was the "Sea people" who just kind of showed   
   up, all at once, appearing as one homogenous group...   
      
   For one thing it's long been said that the Hyskos weren't 'a' people   
   but the foreigners attracted to the delta region for it's fertile   
   lands & lucrative trade. I don't think there was ever a time when   
   foreigners weren't migrating in. The Tanis Kings, for example, were   
   themselves such foreigners!   
      
   They're all Egyptianized, so to speak, absorbing Egyptian culture.   
      
   The point is, they were supposedly trickling in forever, and finally   
   reached the point where they were militarily capable of seizing   
   political power.   
      
   The proto sinaitic script -- origins of Phoenician, Hebrew and   
   even ultimately our own alphabet -- supposed was invented here.   
   They had Egyptian writing, hieroglyphic & hieratic, which they   
   saw the usefulness in, and be unhampered by Egyptian tradition   
   (and mysticism) they turned it into something more practical.   
      
   Yes, it's called "sinaitic" because it was first found in the sinai   
   but, since then evidence points to an origins in the delta region.
