Histoire
Sharuhen was an ancient town in the Negev Desert or perhaps in Gaza. Following wars against the Hyksos in Egypt in the second half of the 16th century BCE, Sharuhen became a target, which some scholars argue was a city under Hyksos control. The armies of Pharaoh Ahmose I seized and razed the town after a three-year siege. The precise location of the town is uncertain and several archaeological sites have been suggested as being Sharuhen.
