who did the ancient egyptians hate?

Question

.....i'm thinking the persians but i'm not sure

Answer 1

I agree that the Egyptians did not like the Persians at all, but you should keep in mind that's because the Persians occupied Egypt and were not the nicest of foreign rulers. Rebellions were squashed with no mercy, and I believe it was the emperor Darius who killed and ate one of Egypt's sacred bulls.

Compared to the long span of ancient Egyptian history, the Persians were only in the picture a brief time (basically the fourth century BC). Traditional "enemies" of Egypt were groups in Nubia and Syro-Palestine (and Libya starting in the New Kingdom). I'm not sure I would go so far as to say the Egyptians hated these people, since many individuals from these areas got into the government and obtained high positions near the king.

The Egyptians saw foreign peoples as sources of chaos (called isfet), which was the opposite of their ideal divine order of the world (called ma'at). However, as long as foreigners acted like Egyptians and acknowledged the Egyptian king's supremacy, the Egyptians had no problem with them. As long as the foreigners followed Egyptian ways, then they helped maintain Ma'at, rather than causing Isfet.

You could compare it to one of the more recent empires, like that of Britain. The British wanted what they wanted out of a country and as long as the locals recognized their supremacy and acted "civilized" in the British sense, the people were generally not thought of so badly. This is not to say that colonization is in any way right, but just to point out that it doesn't necessarily involve hating the people you control.

Answer 2

Egypt suffered from numerous invaders in its long history especially in the time of their decline.

The groups which were hated the most were Persians, the Sea Peoples, and especially the Hykos.

The Hykos I think can easily been seen as the most hated bunch because they invaded and occupied Egypt when it was still in its prime. Although the Middle Kingdom had decline, Egypt still had a vibrancy which would clearly show in the New Kingdom once they had kicked the Hykos out. The Hykos hit the Egyptians the most in their pride unlike any other group.

Prior to the Hykos invasion, Egypt was not much of an imperial nation. After the Hykos were expelled, the Egyptians in order to ensure such a thing would not happen again launched an invasion into the Middle Eastern areas of Israel, Syria, etc... thus creating the Egyptian Empire - all as a result of their hatred and fear of the Hykos.

Answer 3

ancient Egyptians hated the raiding envious nomads, as in any settled on a river civilization. ancient Egyptians life was focused on the river Nile who brought prosperity and life to the lands, but at the same time can bring floods and destruction. taming the river was one continuous task for the Egyptians, to bring prosperity etc..
Nomadic societies were the most hated by Egyptians of course because they tend to steal the Egyptians there hard work through the years.
an example of that when one of the nomadic societies succeeded in conquering Egypt for 100 years was the Hyksos.
