from Wikipedia: "The majority of modern scholars do not believe that the Egyptian story elements in the Bible can be demonstrated with historical methods. However, some scholars have attempted to tie the narratives of the Hyksos period to the exodus period. Scholars such as Jan Assmann and Donald Redford, for instance, have suggested that the story of the biblical exodus may have been wholly or partially inspired by the expulsion of the Hyksos. An identification with the Hyksos would only depart minimally from accepted biblical chronology, and their expulsion is the only known large-scale expulsion of Asiatics from Egypt. Other scholars, such with Manfred Bietak, have pointed out several "problems" with such theories, including the conflict between the portrayal of the Hyksos as a 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘧𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 and the biblical portrayal of the Israelites as "oppressed" in Egypt."

I stopped after the fourth chapter. Too many lists of names and not enough context of what was happening in and to the kingdom in each reign. Would have done better to give narrative arc and focus on Kings for which enough is known to say something about.
