Week 4.2
                                   The Hyksos invade Egypt (Middle Kingdom)

Also, for your E-Portfolio, think about your response to the Critical Thinking Question for Egypt:

The position of Pharaoh changed from that of a god in the Old Kingdom to that of a "shepherd of the people" in the Middle Kingdom. Discuss reasons why that change could have occurred.
(Document any outside sources you consult in preparing your answer.)
