Deir el-Ballas, founded by Seqenenre Tao around 1550 BC, played a pivotal role in ancient Egyptian history. It was the forward capital of the Theban kings during their drive to expel the Hyksos invaders and reunite the land. It served as the campaign palace for the Kings Seqenenre, Kamose, and Ahmose. Dr Lacovara delves into this turbulent period drawing on his experience excavating at the site.
