Recent excavations by the Austrian Archaeological Institute at Tell el-Dab’a (Egypt) in the Nile Delta have unearthed the ruins of a palace adorned with frescoes comparable in style to those of Knossos, in addition to parts of a garden and a necropolis.

These discoveries have given us new insight into the Hyksos Period and new developments on the dating of the transition between the Middle Bronze and Late Bronze Age in Syria, Palestine and the Aegean world, thus prompting us to reconsider the relationships between Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean.
