The real ExodusAhmose (I) expelled the Hyksos, a people of Asian origin who controlled northern Egypt, and pursued them into the region of Canaan. The conquest of Canaan, through the siege of Sharuhen, consolidated the expulsion of the Hyksos, restored Egyptian rule and inaugurated the New Kingdom.Around 1800 BC, the Hyksos, originally from Canaan, migrated to Egypt and, in 1650 BC, took control of the north, establishing their capital at Avaris.Egyptian resistance began in the south, in Thebes, culminating in the campaign of Ahmose I , who definitively expelled the Hyksos from Egypt.After the expulsion of Avaris, Ahmose I continued his campaign, besieging and conquering the city of Sharuhen in Canaan.Ahmose I's successors continued to expand into northern Canaan, conquering cities along the way and pursuing the Hyksos, who were fleeing northward.The conquest ended with Thutmose III who gained control over northern Canaan after his victory at the Battle of Megiddo (c. 1457 BC), near the borders of Syria and Lebanon.This victory allowed the pharaoh to expand Egyptian rule in the region, securing a strategic base from which to launch future campaigns into Mesopotamia and the rest of Syria.The conquest of Megiddo and northern Canaan was crucial to the expansion of the Egyptian Empire. Dominion over the region served as a launching point for further military campaigns and increased Egypt's influence in ancient Mesopotamia.The victory forced the Syrian princes to send tribute and noble hostages to Egypt, establishing Thutmose III's power as a prominent military ruler.Thutmose III became known as one of the greatest military leaders of antiquity, being compared to Napoleon, and his campaign in Canaan strengthened Egyptian rule in the region for approximately 200 years.
