| Fifteenth Dynasty
The Fifteenth Dynasty arose from among the Hyskos people: desert Bedouins who emerged out of the Fertile Crescent to establish a short-lived governance over much of the Nile region, and ruled from 1674 to 1535 BC.
| | Sheshi | Sheshi was a pharaoh of Egypt around 1600 BCE. As a ruler during Egypt's fragmented Second Intermediate Period Sheshi is difficult to place precisely chronologically though he is usually described as the founder of the 15th dynasty. Sheshi is a member of the Hyksos (a Greek corruption of the Egyptian for 'foreign rulers') elite, who later Egyptians regarded as having conquered the country.
The truth may have been a somewhat more benign and gradual process of integration.
The section of the Turin King List dealing with this complex period of Egyptian history is particularly badly damaged and it is unclear whether Sheshi reigned for 13 or 23 years.
Sheshi's throne name was 'Ma-yeb-Re', 'seeing is the heart of Re', He was also known as Benan or Bnon.
