The Hyksos rage through Egypt!

         The Hyksos had a very successful army. They had much power, and wealth. But what weapon did they use to take over Egypt so easily? The weapon was a chariot. Chariots are pulled by two horses. Army men sit in chariots so it is easy to attack enemies. Chariots are  fast and easy to maneuver. They are like modern day cars, but chariots were pulled by horses! Chariots were used to break enemies lines of forces. Hyksos army was very wealthy and so were chariots, that's why most armies back then did not have chariots. Chariots were easy to drive so if they had enough of them, younger kids could also drive them with an older person shooting arrows on the back. I want to be an Egyptian kid so i could drive a chariot, that would be so cool! The Egyptians didn't have chariots during this battle so they had no way to take down the enemy forces. The Hyksos army men were more prepared and trained for this battle. The Egyptian army was not ready for this battle. That would stink to have an army unsuspectingly show up and try to kill you!
