The MYSTERIOUS ORIGINS of the SEA PEOPLES

[@Salamander1269]

History was always a passion for me. The sea peoples are shrouded in mystery of different reasons. First, their origin is obscure as they were different groups of people from around the Mediterranean. They were united but never formed a civilisation. Secondly, there was a severe drought at the time which lasted 300 years and which brought about the end of the Bronze Age. The sea peoples had to leave their settlements and find new territories in order to have food, so they migrated together with their families to more fertile territories. They were skilled shipmen and are the first known climate refugees. They scattered around the Mediterranean regions and later mixed with the native populations. A greater group settled down in Canaan. Speculations say that even the mysterious Etruscans' ancestry goes back to the sea peoples.

[@GothPaoki]

I love history times doc catchphrase about the ramses account of the raids." In the inscriptions the Egyptians seem to be winning more and more great victories but they seem to be winning closer and closer to their capital"...

[@Creticus]

Ramesses III is sometimes said to be the last great pharaoh, but it's clear that his reign had serious problems. You don't wind up with the first recorded strikes out of nowhere. And those were carried out by tomb-builders, which were critical for ancient Egyptian rulers.

[@NefariousKoel]

Plus.. giving a whole group of enemies land you nominally control isn't something you do with an enemy you've completely defeated. The settling of the Peleset in the Levant indicates there was still a threat of some kind. This was likely an Egyptian solution to both bring them on-side and use them to help control a troublesome Egyptian frontier (the Levant). Probably to help defend it against other Sea People raids and rebellious native tribes there. Very much like how the Normans were given the deal of settling in Normandy in order to protect that coast from other Northmen much later in history.

[@steventhompson399]

Yeah I looked at that channel before, cool stuff. This reminded me of the Japanese in wwii claiming to shoot down so many American planes and sink so many American ships, closer and closer to Japan

[@mheiseus]

The Egyptians were lucky they had the Nile to defend them, but he hitites didn't have that kind of advantage and it cost them.

[@askallois]

@NefariousKoel True, but at the time the people were illiterate and news spread slowly and distorted, and propaganda was the weapon to rule an ignorant people. Surely they came to an agreement, gave the government of Lebanon to the Shardana and Palestine to the Pheleset. The great and late Israeli archaeologist Zertal discovered a fortified Shardana citadel in northern Israel, with construction criteria he had never seen before in the entire Middle East, but which can be traced back to the Nuragic civilisation, In addition, bronze weapons and local Sardinian pottery were found. Which is another proof that Shardana = Sardinia.

[@edgarsnake2857]

That was easily the best wrap-up of the available info on the Sea Peoples that I have seen. Thanks, Doc.

[@TheMuseumGuyIsrael]

Couldn't agree more!

[@lavinleitrim44]

Yes I agree. But I also wonder why there aren't any/many? hypothesis suggesting they could have come from the Atlantic direction, there is evidence of trade routes existing through the sea to Britain, so why not consider pre-vikings or brits, or anybody from the Iberian peninsula... I say this because our Celtic and other northern myth/legend speaks of visiting far off places with unusual names and sea invasions from unknown people. I don't believe the ancient world was as small and disconnected as we modern people tend to think.

[@lavinleitrim44]

I'll add in college when I was learning about stone age Ireland one of my essays included a paragraph about trading stone implements, axes, hammers and such. There is stone in our Irish museums from the alps circa 4000BC. It was years ago so I don't remember the exact details but I do know it's a thing. I also read in one of our manuscripts from the early Medieval that there was a Temple of Apollo in County Donegal, the northwest coast of Ireland. My immediate thought is how and why, seeing as Rome never invaded Ireland, it's a curious thing.

[@RalphEllis]

There is no mystery. The Hyksos were exiled from Egypt in about 1580 BC, and many of those exiled people sailed away to Mediterranean islands. There is evidence for this. Some 300 years later, they sailed back east to retake their ‘homelands’. Ask yourself - why would a 1000 ship confederation of islanders, think they could defeat the Egyptian superpower? What motivated them? Answer - revenge. Some of these Sea Peoples were the Peleset, who became known as the Philistines. Note that the night assault of the Sea Peoples, with flames before them, is the same as the night attack during the era of Judges. The only difference is that Judges tells us how this was achieved. The fire was in pots, to conceal it, and then the pots were broken at the last minutes, before the attack. Very much the same story. See Tempest & Exodus. R

Just an interesting note about the Bronze Age collapse: I have heard a lot of speculation that there was famine and other aspects of a climate change, and, as it turns out, if you check temperature graphs over the last 10k years, there was a huge spike at about 1200 BC. Even substantially warmer than it is now.

[@snailrancher]

One area that you did not address (understandably since the Egyptian textual and iconographic evidence is so rich and evocative) is the growing archaeological evidence, particularly outside of the Nile valley. For example, on Bate's Island (located in the lagoon near Marsa Matruh) there is evidence of seasonal settlement of Aegean and Cypriot peoples who engaged in trade with the local Bronze Age Libyans, showing the contacts between Libyans and "Sea Peoples" but outside of Egyptian control. Similarly, the site of Tell Tweini (ancient Gibala), to the south of Ugarit, was destroyed at the end of the LBA and (re)settled in the early Iron Age by people making Late Helladic IIIC Early 1 style ceramics locally (i.e., Aegeans settled here). Another very important development is the identification of Palistin (formerly misread as Walistin), a Neo-Hittite kingdom of the early Iron Age located on the modern Turkish/Syrian border, which saw a huge influx of locally produced "Aegean" ceramics, again almost certainly due to Mycenean settlement at the end of the LBA (see the work of Jeffery Emanuel). Finally, another major development is the reconsideration of the idea that Ramesses III purposefully settled Peleset people in what became Philistia (and thus under Egyptian control), or rather that they settled there of their own accord, but the Egyptians attempted to essentially block them from encroaching further into Egyptian imperial territory; for this see the book "The Philistines and Aegean migration at the end of the Late Bronze Age" by Assaf Yasur-Landau, as well as other works by other scholars.

[@gar6446]

I have a strong suspicion about the black sea area, especially with the Hittite collapse and the north east and east Mediterranean. The western med turmoil probably had the same root cause. Bronze requires trade routes and aristo top down organisation to combine the copper and tin and either upfront or pay on delivery for these materials. Iron is far more egalitarian and superior, all you need is the knowledge, and ability, iron ore is abundant. Its fun to speculate on this subject, we all have our pet theories.

[@gregorynixonAUTHOR]

The Bronze Age Collapse meant the end of the tin trade, so after that bronze could only be remade from other bronze objects.

[@varyolla435]

@@gregorynixonAUTHOR Yes. As alluded to in another post the then world likely transitioned from bronze to iron owing to the collapse of the trading network which made bronze widely available. When bronze was ubiquitous then people obviously used it. Once it started to become more scarce as supply lines dried up upon the collapse of the various cultures in the eastern Mediterranean then people had to transition to iron - which was still available but not as commonplace likely being more expensive to obtain. So the advent of the Iron Age probably did not cause the collapse of the Bronze Age as much as it likely followed it owing to a lack of easily obtainable bronze.

[@gregorynixonAUTHOR]

@@varyolla435 There was some overlap, but in truth iron was always plentiful but difficult to extract and impossible for a long time to melt, to make a hot enough forge to do so. The Hittites used iron that came from meteoroids, softer & readily available but not plentiful. It took a while for iron melting and forging to begin but once it did, such "magic" metallurgy spread rapidly so even poorer nations could afford it. Bronze was still used when it was available.

Dr. Miano, this is one of my favorite topics that you touched on a couple years back, especially when it deals with the Philistines. I also like the fact that you bring forth the possibility that these people may have resorted to barbarism because of shrinking resources. I have found many groups in the past that seem so barbarous that have partaken in such behavior as a survival mechanism. I think of the Native Americans, especially those of the Southwest US>

[@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526]

There may well be a recollection of the Tjekker in greek myths. The name is very similar to Teucer, one of the greek heroes in the war.He had a peculiar story: -despite being greek he was also descendant of the trojans (King Priam was his uncle). -after the war he joined an expedition with the king of Tyre to conquer the island of Cyprus, starting greek colonization there. There was a campaign around the bronze age collapse there,but with Suppiliuluma II of Hatti as the leader. Funny that greek mythology also preserved memories of achaeans raiding Egypt: there are two in the Odyssey- one by Menelaus and other by Odysseus.

[@GothPaoki]

It'd be very interesting to see how this whole affair ties with the Trojan war given that a lot of people involved in this war were also part of the sea people like the Achaeans and Luka.

[@DneilB007]

I suspect that the Trojan War is a poorly remembered account of a Cretan-led war against Troy. Remember that the fathers of the great kings of the Greeks in the war were not hereditary rulers of their cities, but were tyrants established by Crete, according to the later legends (Atreus was a steward of Mycenae who killed King Eurystheus & then married the daughter of a King of Crete; Palamedes was the son of Nauplius and Clymene, a daughter of the king of Crete; there are other examples, but I can’t remember them offhand). I do remember that the king of Crete sent 50 ships to be part of the fleet to attack Troy, but 49 were made of clay & only one ship was real.

[@Dgoc813]

@@DneilB007 I think it all fits rather well together, especially since the Iliad explicitly states that it was a fleet of allied ships from a variety of different homelands and ethnicities. The lost books of the Iliad also support correlation, since they describe a 10-year long journey across the coast where the Greeks encounter and destroy cities, on a route almost identical to those of the sea peoples

[@gregorynixonAUTHOR]

Leaving out Homer (and historians should), Troy (Ilios) was almost certainly brought down by those who would qualify as Peoples of the Sea, which included Danaans and Achaians.

[@Dgoc813]

@@Dgoc813 Sadly, you're not much of a historian if you think Homer is history. For a bard or rhapsodist, events and characters are drawn from all periods of the cultural past and from all places, especially those related to the audience to whom you are singing.

Super interesting. The Bronze Age Collaps and subsequent demise of both Pharaonic Egypt and the Hittite kingdom is important. This set the scene for the conflicts between the Philistines and the Israelites. It is my firm belief that they both were "sea peoples" in some shape or form.

[@varyolla435]

Dynastic Egypt survived the collapse of the Bronze Age. It was however weakened and the subsequent Ramses line of Pharaohs were far less powerful. This was likely owing to the corresponding environmental plight which triggered said collapse. Previous Egyptian kingdoms had collapsed owing to prolonged environmental plight - drought typically - which devasted their economy as Egypt was long a source of agricultural products. When the Egyptian people went hungry = bad things tended to follow.

[@Naeruve]

@@varyolla435 from what I've read this is what caused Egypt to let them settle in Canaan. It seems Egypt was too weak at the time to keep fighting them so the Peleset settled in Canaan and mixed quickly with the Canaanites to form the future Philistines, modern day Palestine.

[@dodongdan1848]

They probably the people of the Iliad and the Oddysey. Troy was destroyed about same time these events happened. In the Odyssey, they wandered around lost for a couple of years. What if while "lost and wandering", they were raiding any coastal cities they happen to find.

[@askallois]

The Egyptians knew exactly who the people of the sea were, they left written that they were the inhabitants of the 'islands of the Great Green'. as they called the islands west of the Mediterranean, they also knew the peoples of the northern and eastern Mediterranean, as they traded with them. Look for the wreck of Uluburun and the merchandise found, it gives you an idea of what they were trading in 1300 BC.

Seems the way to travel fairly quickly if you're a coastal community but you need to know where you're going and what the reception will be especially to bring the family along for the raid???? I'm thinking that most stayed around? Got the feeling it was hard times...but there still needs to be a vision collectively and that usually has a thinking apparatus and head of state..ish???
