The sea people were like the Bronze-Age naval version of the Mongols. Destroying, killing and looting with no intention of infrastructural development. Perhaps the sea people were nomadic tribes as well. Both eventually stopped by the Egyptians.
It’s not very accurate to say that “Sea people" have brought an end of a Bronze Age. We know that at that time many climate changes have occurred and the Nile, the farmland of the ancient world, place where most of world’s grain was produced, suffered crop failure. Therefore all surrounding nations bound by trade with Egypt have experienced famine. Add to that earthquakes that have destroyed various Mycenaeans and Hittites cities. In summary we have, severe climate changes, collapse of global trade in the region ( No one is willing to exchange grain for other goods, due to crop failure and famine) earthquakes, and human factor, people discontent with situation and migration of different groups of people. So we can say that "Sea people" didn’t bring the end of Bronze Age, but were the product of the collapse of Bronze Age. The best comparison of "Sea people" with another similar event are Germanic and Slavic tribes invasion during the fall of Rome in 5 century, which is also characterized for by various climatical changes.
Also an interesting fact. According to studies on some folks that represented "sea people" Philistines ( folk of "sea people" that invaded the land of todays Isreal) genetically where identical to Greeks.
This is why total war is amazing! Thanks dude I’m going to go look for this mod now. Btw fun interesting fact . Ramses settled: deported the defeated sea people in modern day Palestine and they later became the biblical philistines . Maybe he wanted to create a buffer zone between him and Assyrians or Hittites 🤷♂️
Thanks for bringing such an epic battle from the Bronze Age, these people of the sea remain mysterious to this day. bring more egyptian people and tribes vs kingdoms thanks for the caption in the video
Historians now think that the ‘mysterious’ Sea Peoples were in fact ancient Italians from Sardinia and other areas in and around the modern day Italian Peninsula. What made them so formidable and destructive was their use of iron in weapons. Bronze weaponry doesn’t stand a chance vs. iron.
Epic battle bro between sea people and ancient egypt. Keep it up. Pls make like this historical battles more. I am a fan of your videos. Good luck for next video. Well done buddy.
The weapons were manufactured in the Carpathian Basin! Economic activity, especially weapon-making, was very prominent in ancient Hungary, especially in the Transylvanian and Southern regions. “New tools and weapon types evolved, such as saws, anvils, helmets, and mace. Now, for the first time, metalworking was put to a large extent at the service of food production, and the freed up workforce was directed towards metal industry production." Romey Not only the weapons manufactured in Hungary, including the sword, which is considered a novelty, reached the Mediterranean area on the Danube, but also the armed men as mercenaries. PELESET (prwst): "On the Medinet Habui relief III. Ramses fights sea and land battles against the Pelesites. In fact, in the battle against the Libyans (Libyans), some fighters who can be identified as Pelesets (together with the Sardans) III. They were also drafted into Ramszesz's army." - can be read on The Greek Age of Bronze - Sea Peoples website. It is clear from the quote that it is not about a people but about warriors who can be found on both sides. Their weaponry can be a dagger/sword, a spear, or both, and a round shield held in the middle. They fight on foot, chariots and ships. In addition to the characteristic headdress, the VéRT appears on these warriors. In addition to the blood that covers the body, in the past, blood also meant a shield. The chest and back armor could be made of some kind of fabric or leather, or bronze, the shield was probably made of bronze and could also serve as an offensive weapon, with which the warriors competed, wanting to outwit the enemy: VerSET/VerSenT skillfully! And the headdress? It looks like a SAW PART, it is possible that it can also serve as such: in melee, attacking the enemy with the head. The folk name PeLeSeT can be derived from these words.“Interestingly, although the slash-and-thrust dagger/sword type variants first appeared in B.C. XV. They appeared in Central Europe in the middle of the 2nd century (Bronze C1), they are not found around the Aegean Sea until their sudden appearance in the middle of the LH (Late Hellenic) IIIB/C crisis period. At the top, the European-type spearhead appears in the Aegean landscape in this age. The bas-relief depicting the sea battle at Habu in Medinet is dedicated to the peoples of the sea, and the earlier, XIII. The round shield of the Kadesh battle in the 18th century was only XII. appears in the Aegean region in the century. The evidence points to their importation from Central Europe.” It follows from the Romey quote that the introduction of these weapons can be linked to the Peleset, Serden and Sikala 'peoples'. It should not be difficult to define the Pelesets as a people, there is the most information about them, and surprisingly, they can be traced all the way back to the time of Mária Theresa!
The Sea People we’re surviving Atlanteans who were looking for land after their continent submerged. They recruiter other conquered or defeated people into their cause
Hammered bronze can reach 265 on Vickers scale. Cast bronze is 40. Iron has 60. There types of steel that are way below what bronze can reach. The advantage of iron was mainly the price.
hey Rick, nice to see you in the comment section again :). I actually watched some documentaries too. It's hard to know for sure as this is more than 3000 years into the past. Some believe the Sea People may have something to do with the Bronze Age decline. It took centuries before the Bronze Age completely collapsed. There are also mentions of natural catastrophes. Who knows. :)
There's also documentaries and theories that base themselves upon drawings and carvings of late bronze age era depicting invasions from outside, typically from the western Mediterranean into the eastern Mediterranean bronze civilizations, which are typically thought as the sea people, again there are many factors that led to the bronze age collapse, the sea people invasions were the very last factor
Very interesting, very well done as usual. 2 remarks: -I have been surprised by the lack of Egyptian chariotry. Mays be the battle would have been too much unbalanced? - More generally, in ancient times, the defeated army suffered many additional losses, and in some cases, most of it, the routing units being specially affected by pursuit. Here, as there is no pursuing cavalry… I have been studying military history for some time, and a war gamer also in the past and your videos interest me, even if they rise up questions.
To answer the chariot question and trying to be nice about it the Egyptians had none during this time because all the powers ditched chariots as during this time of collapse they where all to poor to hold these vast chariot army’s and the chariots where ineffective
In my memory, the Egyptians were still prosperous and ditched their chariots a little later. Even if it is not absolute proof, the official telling of the battle mentions chariots. I agree chariots were much less effective than cavalry and cavalry replaced them roughly at this time or a little later. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataille_de_Djahy@@WorldHistory515 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Djahy
Segundo relevos da batalha, Ramsés teria usado carruagens de batalha e os povos do mar também. Pelo registro, foi uma batalha bem difícil para o Egito, mas conseguiram expulsar os povos do mar para além da Palestina. Foi o único império que sobreviveu a uma invasão dos povos do mar. Mas parece que o Egito empobreceu depois disso. Porque o mundo inteiro mudou. E o Egito não conseguiu reequipar todo o exército com as novas armas de ferro. 🤔
Alguns estudiosos sugerem que os "povos do mar" eram na verdade os filisteus, que, depois dessa batalha, se estabeleceram no litoral oeste da Palestina, em cinco principais cidades-Estado: Gaza, Gate, Ecrom, Ascalom e Asdode.
There's one mod about the first world war of Napoleon total war. If you have it, I'm glad to see an video about it, if you want ;). However ab very beautiful video...
Serious question, how come we keep referring to the Sea Peoples are mysterious yet in the beginning of the video, you are able to list out the different groups that made up the Sea Peoples? 0:48
Excellent documentary ! Where did you get all the information on the Egyptian land battle against the attacking Sea Peoples ? Also, could you possibly do a documentary WAR OF 1812 BATTLE OF LUNDY'S LANE ?! This bloodiest battle of the War saved Canada from American occupation.
Not sure they were warrior like peoples, but I guess the only evidence we have is the Egyptian perspective of a particular battle. To me it seems to be a mass migration of some sort which destabilised the cultures within the vicinity at the time. Conflicts created tension, unrest - etc.
شعوب البحر قد يكونون من الكنعانيين(أجداد الفلسطينيين مع القليل من كنعاني الساحل (الفينيقيين كما أسماهم الإغريق)من لبنان و سوريا في العصور القديمة كانت بلاد الشام و مصر في عداوة كبيرة على عكس اليوم
Please read the Book 1177 BC - The year the civilisation collapse by Eric Cline It's a great archeological book. It doesn't have story or drama. But when you understand it shows how world works and collapse.
That theory has been put forth, in the case of the Sherden and the Shekelesh corresponding to Sardinia and Sicily. They could also have come from Anatolia and then settled in the West Mediterranean too. Indeed Rome itself would later propagate the myth that Aeneas escaped Troy and headed to Italy where they would become the ancestors of the Romans. The Nuragic faction in Rise of the Republic also has units called Sherden that describe the sea peoples link.
This isn’t Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator or something, it’s Total War, there are no prison guards and security guards. These games are meant to show a specific time period in human history, and there are no mods that add modern units such as those you suggested.
Damn, the Ancient Egyptians are really not a Caucasian race nor do they have any affiliation culturally with the Modern Arabs and Ottoman (Turks) . Please don't be in your feelings. Deodoris of Sicily wrote in his book about the ethnicity of the Ancient Egyptians. Modern Western scholarship HATES when you say that the Ancient Egyptians are from inner African people and not the Modern Arabs. They dismiss the Classical 🏛️ writers on the subject and only racist will disagree with the Classical writers information
Plus, the Ancient Egyptians never heard of the term Mediterranean people...... What is that?????? Can you put that on a job application..... yeah I'm Mediterranean.....the educated person would know that's not a race.....a statement like that is just a out right 🤥 and racist scholars will always use that term Mediterranean people which is synonymous for white or white ish people not African people... tell me I'm lying 🤥
Ils ne sont connus que par les hiéroglyphes égyptiens ? C'est faux , La Bible en parle en long en large et en travers on les appelle aussi pour certains qui ont piller et se sont installer en Palestine "les philistins" j'ai connu les peuples de la mer grâce à ma bible pas grâce aux hiéroglyphes 😅
