One new tool we really enjoyed is the Drive Thru History - Holy Land, its a great way to review and go deeper with the biblical history we're learning. If you are unfamiliar with the Drive Thru History series you're really missing out. The series is incredibly informative and highly entertaining, they literally drive through the areas history took place to bring it alive, include a printable study guide and often share tidbits I'd never heard about anywhere else. Right now you can watch the first episode on Youtube for FREE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5-1msVHZ2Q

- The Hyksos are identified in the bible as the Amalekites.
- Putting the Hyksos invasion at the time of Moses instead of Joseph, as older timelines do, puts all the biblical and archeological pieces together. It would make Khasehkemre-Neferhoteph I the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus and that is significant since his mummy has never been found, which makes sense biblically since it would be at the bottom of the Red Sea.
- Read Samuel 15: 3-8
- The Hyksos attacked the Israelites as they left Egypt and those captured could have told the Hyksos about the Egyptian army being at the bottom of the Red Sea, which allowed the Hyksos to take control of Egypt without any record of a fight. The fact there is no record of a fight has puzzled secularists for a long time. The Hyksos then remained in control until Samuel later commissioned Saul to invoke retribution against the Hyksos/Amalekites, which allowed Ahmosis to retake the Egyptian throne from Hyksos in 1018 BC. Further evidence is found in that secularist can find no evidence of the Hyksos after they left Egypt, reading the biblical account this is no surprise, Saul’s army eliminated them.

Now partly in an attempt to catch-up a bit and partly because I feel the Hulburt Bible Study covered these Judges in enough detail, I am not going to do a separate study on each of the Judges as I originally intended. However, I will still add them to our timeline in the appropriate order. It is my goal, above all things, for the boys to get a sense of what is going on in different parts of the world around the same time. However, I have gone ahead and given a quick outline of what we were going to do to study the Judges in case its useful to someone else.
