It revolves around examining the second mummy of King Seqenenre Tao II by CT scan. Seqenenre Tao II, dubbed “The Brave”, ruled southern Egypt during the Hyksos occupation that seized the delta in northern Egypt for a century (1650-1550 BC). "This indicates that Seqenenre Tao II was really on the front line with his soldiers, risking his life to liberate Egypt," said Selim. The results indicate that Seqenenre Tao II was killed by several Hyksos attackers who surrounded him from different angles and with different weapons. Seqenenre Tao II’s son, Camus, fell a martyr during the war against the Hyksos, and Ahmose, the second son of Seqenenre Tao II, was the one who completed the expulsion of the Hyksos.
