Why have no Hyksos mummies been found?

When researching Egyptian pharoahs online I noticed no 15th dynasty (Hyksos) royal mummies mentioned.

Is it that the Hyksos didnt mummify their kings, or were their tombs just destroyed during the liberation of Egypt from them?

    I think Hyksos burials were semitic or they didn't adopt the practice of mummification from their subjects.
