 Ryholt and Baker reject the identification of Sheshi as a 15th Dynasty ruler.Ryholt observes that early Hyksos kings, such as Sakir-Har and Khyan, are known to have adopted the title "Heqa khasewet" meaning "ruler of the foreign lands", a title which Sheshi did not bear.In addition, the later of these two kings, Khyan, only adopted an Egyptian prenomen during the second half of his reign—a practice that was followed by subsequent Hyksos kings.
