Hayes, Nicolas Grimal, Redford, and Peter Clayton identify Sheshi with Salitis (also known as Saites).[3][41][42][43][44] According to the Aegyptiaca, Salitis was the founder of the Hyksos 15th Dynasty.[45] Alternatively, Bietak and Janine Bourriau have proposed that Salitis should be identified with Sakir-Har,[46] a poorly known ruler of the Second Intermediate Period who, in contrast to Sheshi,[47] is known to have borne the title of "Hyksos".[48] William Ayres Ward and the archaeologist Daphna Ben-Tor rely on seriations of the seals of Sheshi and other kings of the Second Intermediate Period to date Sheshi to the second half of the 15th Dynasty, between the great Hyksos pharaohs Khyan and Apophis.[53][54] Based on a seriation of the scarab seals of the Second Intermediate Period available in 1900 AD, George Willoughby Fraser was able to date Sheshi's reign to "a short dynasty before the Hyksos invasion". ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1695.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1695.txt
