This is a workshop, to be held on the 6th of April 2018 at the 11th ICAANE in Munich. First results of an ERC Advanced Grant "The Enigma of the Hyksos" at the Austrian Academy and the Bournemouth University/UK are presented by an international team of scholars supported by external researchers. The research programme deals with the origin the reasons of immigration, the homogenity or heterogenity of a Western Asiatic communit, living during the late Middle Kingdom and the Second intermediate Period in the eastern Nile Delta. They were responsible for the rule of the Hyksos, a foreign dynasty, which took power in Egypt after the Middle Kingdom around1740 BC. The reearch also concentrates on the rise of power, on the way of rule, on the definition of the material culture of these foreigners, on their cultual interference with the Egyptian culture and on the reasons of their decline and failure to build a stable kingdom. Another subject is the impact of the Hyksos on the Egyptian Culture of the New Kingdom. The research is approached with methods of humanities and of biological sciences.

Slavic-non-Slavic contacts in the Carpathian region have long attracted the attention
of researchers. Less attention has been paid to the interaction between different Slavic
traditions. The diffi culties of studying closely related traditions are obvious. At the same
time, understanding of the convergent processes between them, the direction of cultural
borrowing, etc., can provide additional information on the history of the studied peoples
and the development of their languages. The analysis of demonyms allows us to
draw preliminary conclusions about the processes of interference and cultural exchange
over a wide area of the borderlands of Poland and Slovakia in the Eastern Carpathians,
where in the 14th century the East Slavic population (Rusyns, Lemkos) developed.
A detailed analysis of some demonyms, taking into account their form and semantics,
distribution areas, and etymology, showed that, for example, the term boginka ‘forest
woman abducting children’ should be distinguished from bohiňa ‘healer, sorceress’, and
that there is another etymological possibility for the word boginka; that it spread in the
region from the Polish-speaking areas. A common Slavic term with the root *jęg- (baba
Yaga, ježibaba, etc.) demonstrates formal and semantic differences in the East, West,
and South Slavic language groups. The Carpathian Rusyns eventually adopted the West
Slavic look and meaning of the word (hindžibaba ‘witch, wild woman’). From Polish
demonology, a character called mamuna came to the Slovaks and Rusyns. Surprisingly,
the Rusyns were practically unaffected by the West Slavic image of the mora / mara;
the latter remained generally within the framework of East Slavic refl ections and root
vowels. Other terms were also analysed. In general, it can be stated that despite the
common Carpathian layer, the national Slavic demonologies in the Eastern Carpathians
are distinctly different; they do not mix much and do not easily borrow names and
images from each other.
