Biblical Egyptology

From the virtual edge of the area in north east Egypt that is designated as Avaris, there is viewed a green expanse of land as far as the eye can see. This area would make an excellent grazing pasture,albeit that probably noones intention. Breaking up the beautiful landscape in the foreground one can see a rather conspicuous hole in the ground. This hole is alleged to be the remains of this ostensible Avaris of Hyksos fame. Although the Avaris excavation is relatively small according to the "powers that be" it must be covered over with the soil extracted from the dig every year. 

As the result of some sort of rule the remains thus far excavated are subject to a prejudice, I believe, concerning discovery of evidence the Hebrews occupied the area BCE. Evidently the "powers" want such a prospect kept hush, hush. The dig, however, as I recall, is limited to only a three month period each year. Following the annual dig all of the area must be returned to its pristine appearance. Then again, the annual flooding of the Nile river may be as plausible.

I suppose, because of the area of the Hyksos conclave consisted of many acres and the limited time span when excavation transpires, one can not expect the unveiling any time soon.
