The 18th dynasty was preceded by the [[Second Intermediate Period]] which comprised dynasties 15-17. The [[Hyksos]] were foreigners to Egypt who took over and ruled [[Lower Egypt]] after the 14th dynasty (15th and 16th dynasty) for around 400 years.

The 17th dynasty was contemporary with the 15th and 16th dynasties. The last pharaohs of the 17th dynasty based in Thebes (Upper Egypt), [[Sequenre Tao]] and his son [[Kahmose]], rebelled against the [[Hyksos]] who were occupying and controlling Lower Egypt (15th & 16th dynasties]].  [[Sequenre Tao]] and [[Kahmose]] were killed fighting the [[Hyksos]].  [[Hyksos]] ([[Amalekites]]) were eventually driven out of Egypt and [[Ahmose I]], the brother of [[Kahmose]] started the 18th dynasty (Egypt's New Kingdom) at the age of 8 years.


Some archaeologist thought that the [[Hyksos]] leaving Egypt could have been the Exodus that they were searching for.  The Hyksos, while they were foreigner to Egypt like the Israelites, they were not slaves. The [[Hyksos]] were rulers of Egypt during the 15th and 16th dynasty (the Second Intermediate Period) and so they could not have been the Israelites leaving Egypt.
