Information from the German Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to your language. Gott ließ einen starken Wind gegen uns wehen, und plötzlich setzten sich, aus den östlichen Regionen kommend, Eroberer einer unbestimmten Rasse entschlossen gegen unser Land in Marsch und nahmen es mühelos und ohne Gegenwehr gewaltsam in Besitz; sie setzten unsere Herrscher ab und legten die Städte in Schutt und Asche, zerstörten erbarmungslos die Tempel der Götter und waren äußerst grausam gegen das Volk; sie metzelten die Männer nieder und führten die Frauen und Kinder als ihre Sklaven hinweg. Text des berühmten ägyptischen Priestersund Geschichtsschreibers Manetho (3. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) über die Invasion der Hyksos, zitiert in Flavius Josephus, Contra Apionem.  | |
