(Avaris, Goshen) Located in the eastern delta, this "dynasty" consists of another series of apparently unrelated kings who ruled from Xois in the Delta over a small portion of Lower Egypt. There are several different versions of the regnal list for this Dynasty; the following attempts to consolidate them but largely follows the Turin Canon, and most of the dates are conjectural. Many of the names are problematic due to the lack of inscriptions and the entire list should be approached with a degree of skepticism. Many of the kings of the Fourteenth Dynasty bear Canaanite and Ammorite names, suggesting that this dynasty, identified as Egyptian by Manetho, was in fact Semitic and possibly connected with the Hyksos. Interestingly, Xois is located squarely within that region known in the Bible as “the Land of Goshen”, where the Israelites were settled and ultimately enslaved. Although the dynasty is supposed to have lasted only some 65 years, there may have been as many as 76 kings ruling in Xois, about most of whom nothing is known.
