Why Hyksos Kings? Explain. Do you mean that they were there in Italy
at this time, recorded as being there by the Egyptians during the
brief Hyksos occupation, but that the Etruscans still had ultimately
migrated from the Eastern Mediterranean? Or are you implying
Etruscans are authochthonous (which is ever so problematic, given
that pesky Lemnos Stele)?
