Excavation of the Hyksos capital in the eastern Delta revealed a large Semitic population with Canaanite-style houses, burials, and temples over centuries. One tomb held a colossal statue of an Asiatic official with a striped multicolored coat and a throwstick, which some link to Joseph — a connection that is suggestive but unproven.Added to timeline:
