The Levantine group that conquered Egypt in the Second Intermediate Period were called the HYKSOS.
They were foreign princes who came to Egypt in an unknown time and stayed for an unknown duration. Whether the original land of the Hyksos has been discovered, I do not know. However, the Hyksos commanded power in Egypt for over a hundred, in fact, probably hundreds of, year(s).
They learned how to fight from the Hyksos. The Hyksos used chariots, and this is how they were able to beat soldiers who were on foot.
They defeated the Hyksos in 1564
Ancient Egypt was invaded by the HYKSOS from the Levant region around 1786 B.C.E.. The Hyksos were notable for using the chariot and other technologies that had not been pioneered in Egypt yet. They would remain in control of Egypt for about a hundred years.
