(Template:Langx, Heqa-khasut for "Hyksos").
Tomb of Khnumhotep II, circa 1900 BCE.[1]
Aamu (Template:Langx) was a name used to designate West Asians in ancient Egypt.[1] It is often translated as "Western Asiatic", but it might refer specifically to Canaanites or Amorites.[1][2] The Egyptologist and linguist Thomas Schneider states that ꜥꜣm was attested as early as the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt and is likely a loanword from early Semitic term drmj, "inhabitant of the south (of Palestine)".[3]
Contemporary Egyptian sources from the time of the wars against the Hyksos also refer to the latter as Script error: No such module "Lang".. Although they have left no inscriptions in their own language, some of their personal names have turned up in Egyptian records, which are a syntactical and lexical match for West Semitic dialects.[4] An ancient Egyptian painting in the tomb of 12th Dynasty official Khnumhotep II, at Beni Hasan (c. Template:TrimScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".), shows a group of West Asiatic foreigners, possibly Canaanites, labelled as Aamu (Script error: No such module "Lang".), including the leading man with a Nubian ibex labelled "Abisha the Hyksos" (Template:Langx, Heqa-khasut for "Hyksos").[1][2][5][6] The Aamu from this relief are further labeled as being from the area of Shu, which may be identified, with some uncertainty, with the area of Moab in southern Palestine around the Jordan River, or generally the southern Levant, just east of the Jordan and the Red Sea.[7]
