Khyan, Khian or Khayan was reportedly the fourth Kings of the Hyksos Fifteenth dynasty of Egypt who ruled around 1610-1580 BC. The Danish Egyptologist--Kim Ryholt--who published an extensive catalogue of all the monuments of the numerous Pharaohs of the Second Intermediate Period makes an important detail regarding this king's family life. Ryholt states:
- "a stela set up in Avaris contains the nomen and prenomen of Khayan and a now lost dedication (presumably to Seth, Lord of Avaris) below which are inscribed the title and name of the Eldest King's Son Yanassi. The association of Khayan with those of his eldest son upon this stela suggests that the latter in fact was his designated successor, as also implied by his title. Khayan was, however, succeeded by Apophis who was apparently an usurper." (Ryholt:p.256)
Since both Bietak and Ryholt note the fact that Yanassi was apparently Khyan's designated successor, Apophis must have staged a coup d'etat to seize power--perhaps immediately after the death of Khyan to pre-empt the latter's son from assuming the throne.
