                       riod, some four hun dred years later. -- Ages in Chaos, pps.71-72.

                       With this un der stand ing, we clearly see -- once again -- that the Hyksos and the Amalekites
                were the one and the same peo ple!

                       When the site of an cient Avaris was ex ca vated by Dr. Manfred Bietak of the Aus trian Ar -
                chae o log i cal In sti tute, he found, in the north-west part of the site, the foun da tions of a TEMPLE
                with mas sive mud-brick walls, in front of which were nu mer ous stumps of an cient palm trees -- the
                re mains of per haps the larg est SACRED GROVE ever found in an ex ca va tion. “As re vealed by the
                hi ero glyphic  in scrip tion  on a lin tel  found within this tem ple’s  ru ins,  it was DEDICATED TO
                ‘SETH [SET], great of might.’ And it was one of the Anastasi pa pyri in the Brit ish Mu seum which
                de scribed the city of Pi-Ramesses, ‘Great of Vic tories,’ as hav ing had just such a tem ple of Seth in
                its south ern quar ter, pre cisely the lo ca tion of the Tell el-Dab’a tem ple in re la tion to the rest of the
                re gion’s Ramessid re mains....”


                       But what is also quite ob vi ous from Dr. Bietak’s find ings is that not only was this site the
                       true Bib li cal Ramesses, it quite ev i dently had a his tory MUCH EARLIER than the time of
                       Ramesses II as well, and was in fact NONE OTHER THAN THE HYKSOS CAPITAL,
