They lived in tribes based on patrilineal descent from legendary ancestors, the patriarchs of the tribes having a personal connection with their solar deity, who is encountered on mountaintops as a flame so potent that a mortal cannot stare directly at it.
They tried, and failed, to invade Egypt, and were taken captive, but the fact that they were allowed to prosper, that their king had audiences with the Pharaoh, suggests that they were a janissary people granted special privileges for their military might.
