The “Khyan Avaris monument” is not a single intact monument like a pyramid or temple. Instead, it refers to fragments of royal statues and stone blocks inscribed with the name of King Khyan that were discovered at the Hyksos capital Avaris (modern Tell el-Dab‘a in Egypt’s Nile Delta).
The Avaris Asiatic woman statue shows that:
- people from the Levant lived in Egypt’s Delta
- foreign elites existed in the Hyksos capital
- Egyptian and Near Eastern cultures mixed there
