 EDOM AND THE HYKSOS

By David J. Gibson
A surprising solution to a long standing intriguing problem.
 
Could the Edomites have been the ancient Hyksos who invaded Egypt? Could they be one and the same people? This book was first published in 1962 under the title “Whence Came the Hyksos, Kings of Egypt.” It has been revised and updated and is now available from Starting Point Books, under the title "Edom and the Hyksos." It is no longer available as a series of web pages on nabataea.net. These materials have also been further investigated by David Gibson's son Dan, and are included in a new scholarly book that proposes that the Edomites, Hyksos and the People of 'Ad, (frequently mentioned in the Qur'an) are all one and the same people. This book is titled: Qur'anic Geography, and links to where you can buy this amazing book are at the bottom of this website.
