The arrival of the Hyksos led to the end of the Thirteenth Dynasty and initiated the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt . In the context of Ancient Egypt, the term "Asiatic"--which is often used for the Hyksos--may refer to any people native to areas east of Egypt . </P> <P> Immigration by Canaanite populations preceded the Hyksos . Canaanites first appeared in Egypt at the end of the 12th Dynasty c. 1800 BC or c. 1720 BC and established an independent realm in the eastern Nile Delta . The Canaanite rulers of the Delta regrouped and founded the Fourteenth Dynasty, which coexisted with the Egyptian Thirteenth Dynasty and was based in Itjtawy . The power of the 13th and 14th Dynasties progressively waned, perhaps due to famine and plague . </P>
