Many years of studying their stone carvings iv come to the conclusion they were vikings/Germanic ppls, look at their ships, swords and some helmets on the stones. This had to be during the crusades and trading era tho where they were mercenaries of the Varangian Guard
Maybe. There's also a theory that the Minoans and perhaps more specifically the inhabitants of the island of Thera/Santorini were the inspiration of the Atlantis legend. After all, nothing says atlantis like a massive volcanic eruption that literally splits the island and causes a large chunk to be submerged.
The invasion of the Sea Peoples were likely not simply a group of pirates but mass migrations of people to the East not knowing that large empires existed there. Some battles may have been military but many of them were people simply trying to find new lands to settle. The bronze age collapse was not brought on by the "sea people" but was already in full swing by the invasion. The sea people did greatly affect the east but was not the main factor in the collapse.
Hmmmmm.....starting to think the Sea-peoples are nomadic anti-diluvian survivors. There are Many similarities with Inca, and if they were from desert areas....makes sense as to why they were willing to fight for good land.
I think the Sea-Peoples of 1177BC are the 50,000 battle hardened Greek warriors who burnt Troy (north of Egypt) in 1200BC (if you burn it, you can't loot it). They fought a long time, people would have heard, there would be late comers who want to get in on the action and spoils to fill or swell the ranks (besides the camp followers). Most all the kings, great leaders and famous Demi-Gods (by their stories, the Greeks were infested with the Nephilim types), were killed while destroying the greatest power and army in the region. A 1,000 ships came, landed men, destroyed a kingdom, set up shop. Yep, that's the Sea-People, (if it worked once, lets try it again). Ulysses took his time going home and he was a king with a kingdom to return to. The rest (probably subdividing, by city-states or leaders) just worked their way down the coast, or sailed straight across. They had plenty of time, men, weapons, experience, ships and a love of battle and conquest.
Modern historians are trying to remove the term "dark age" to describe this period of history. The evidence suggests not only a lot if continuation but some innovations. The sea peoples did have an impact and are noted in contemporary sources but they were not too destructive. The natural disasters discussed at the beginning brought about the biggest impact. Good video though!
Not too destructive? They basically emptied Crete and the east med coast of indigenous people. They sacked Anatolia, not just the Hittite capitol, but the whole thing. They were destructive limited only by the technology of the day.
Pelasgians are ancestors of the Greeks and their first mention was in the Illiad. There is literally no evidence that the Pelasgians were the sea peoples, but they certainly weren't Illyrians.
@@Judaea98 "The term "Peleset" is found in five inscriptions referring to a neighboring people or land starting from circa 1200 BC during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. The first known mention is at the Medinet Habu temple which refers to the Peleset among those who fought against Egypt during Ramesses III's reign, and the last known is 300 years later on Padiiset's Statue. The Assyrians called the same region "Palashtu/Palastu" or "Pilistu," beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BC through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later. The term "Palestine" first appeared in the 5th century BC when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia(Lebanon) and Egypt in The Histories. Herodotus applied the term to both the coastal and the inland regions." As you see everyone called it Palestine and nobody called it Israel.
@@alissa6 as i will never condone the terrorism and all the horror's the Arabs cause to us and i have to tell you that anti Semitist lies won't get anywhere nor can you ever erase the real history of this land, this land is much older then 2000 years old even though we have scrolls preserved from over thousands of years old we've been in this land since it first existed, we have been exiled from it many times in the old times in every generation they have tried to annihilate us and steal out land and erase our history, but the holy one saves us from their hand. behind it all Israel is a peaceful nation that doesn't wanna hurt anybody. I don't need to have such ptsd of fearing a bomb is gonna go off because of my past being a regular person who understands and seen the pain, love and compassion of the Jewish people and the false understandings of my Arabic people's and i refuse to show terrorists any justice when it comes to your anti semitic views we will not let our people be attacked, try but expect backlash. The IDF is a very strong military and we also have technology such as the dome "of love" to protect us and everyone in and around the land of Israel, you can do whatever you want but don't expect to attack our family's without any backlash. By the way Hamas fires their missiles near residential schools, apartments and society they take cover behind their own citizens. How pathetic is that. We understand and as a person who has personal experiance living in both places all i have to tell you is Trust the IDF. You can't be this insistent on destroying everything to do with the Jewish people when they just want to live their lives just like us without HAMAS raining terror on both sides and spreading propaganda/pallywood and those who fall in to this are the bait in that question. It's a matter of proper humanity and that's just not it folks difference is ARABS originally come from ARABIA just like the Jews originally come from a place called Judea and Samaria and have been on this land before it even had all these names which is current day Israel trust me if you walked around looking like an obvious religious Jew in a Palestinian dominant area it's not even just a risk at this point... Its a MAJOR DANGER in many certain section's and places in Israel due to the deep hatred that's been put out against the Jewish people they can't enter Arabic/Palestinian villages like we can visit them. Some are even so obsessed with the destroyal of OUR COUNTRY that they are willing to spread blatant up front made up LIES to slander and trash our people's they love to lie to people who don't understand the situation these radicalist are putting both of us in. Remove the Arab stranger from the Land and let him live with his brothers and sisters in any of their 22 states. Anything short of that will see the horrors of today escalate a hundred-fold tomorrow. And, once and for all, let us not fear the world. Those who stood by during the Holocaust and when Israel faced destruction in 1948 and 1967 have nothing to tell us. Faith in the G-d of Israel and a powerful Jewish army are the ONLY guarantors of Jewish survival. - Rabbi Meir Kahane, zt"l Ok let's get the facts ladies and gentlemen :) Israel isn't an apartheid. Israelis let Palestinians asylum in to Israel for a better and more peaceful life and they have to follow the exact same laws. Palestinians are allowed to follow Islam or any religion on the land of Israel as they please on the land of Israel.
@@wankawanka3053 Yes they were. The Greeks, Sicilians and Sardinians were united by king Agamemnon who sought to conquer Hatti, magna Syria and Egypt. They set up their new base in Palestine. Until they were ousted by the Palestinians.
Sherden = Sardis Shekelesh = Salagassos Sardis and Salagassos are both cities in Anatolia. There is no need to bring Sardinia and Siciliy and the Etruscans into this but people always do, based merely on a vague similarity in the names. That is not enough evidence. We know the sea peoples came mostly from the Aegean. Sardis and Salagassos are in the Aegean. They are the much more likely candidates for these people.
It is almost evident in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, who these people were. The "war of Troy" was only an incident of a bigger conflict between the Greek tribes, kingdoms, etc., and a coalition of tribes, kingdoms, nations, and city-states called Arzawa, which was a key ally of the Hittites(Hittites mention clearly about this insident among many other incidents regarding a war in the west.They even dispatched a large army to help theis allies. Homer mentioned the Hittites among the allies of thebTrojans. In the Iliad, Homer mentions the destruction of 24 other cities by the Greeks and a raid of Menelaus against Egypt, where the Greeks were defeated and had to evacuate the Egyptian shores. At the same time, he mentions great problems and civil unrest in the Greek mainland, where many kings, upon their return, were murdered or found their kingdom ruled by other nobles. If we take into account that there is no clue of any foreign people invasion apart from the Dorians, who were one of the main branches of the Greek tribes, we have no reason to think that the Greek kingdoms collapsed due to foreign people. Art didn't change, weaponry didn't change, language, religion, etc. Sea peoples most probably were the Greek tribes that destroyed Troy. Homer : At the 10th year of the wat Greeks are out of the walls of Troy. Hector remembered the good days of the past when Trojan ships defended Troy and it's lands from the enemies,a fleet that seized to exist due to the war.. This indicates a long unrest and warfare in the Mediterranean sea and specific in the Aegean sea...
The sea people are probably from malabar region of Southern india, they were experts in sea navigation and first civilization know about making of iron.
Almost everything this guy states is half true and half wildly wrong. Dont stop your research here. There are much much much better and more accurate youtubers covering this.
