Khyan was considered to be one of the most powerful of the Hyksos princes and his name is not found south of Gebelein. The Hyksos brought Egypt into more intimate and continuous contact with the peoples and cultures of western Asia than ever before in its history. There were many things which defined the events of Khyan's reign. Such things include: new religions, new philosophical concepts, new artistic styles and media styles. Some of the other things that changed as well was technology. Things developed during this time are the well sweep, the vertical boom, the composite bow, the horse and the horse drawn chariot.
