    Second Intermediate Period

    This era is marked by a divided Egypt with the people known as the Hyksos holding power in
    the north, Egyptian rule at Thebes in the center of the country, and Nubians ruling in the
    south. As with the First Intermediate Period, this time is traditionally characterized as chaotic,
    lacking in cultural advancements, and lawless, but as with the earlier period, this claim has
    been discredited. The Second Intermediate Period was a time of disunity and records of the
    time are confused or missing.
