Egypt did not really collapsed but it lost the southern part of Syria and declined after the victories against the Sea Peoples.

@Thorekk you clearly don't know what the term "semitic" encompasses. You just insulted Arabs, Jews, Mandaeans, Samaritans, and Assyrians/Syriacs and called them destroyers of civilization which, with the current majority religion in mind, I wouldn't disagree with. When it comes to the progression of civilization however, Jews easily take the cake - while the rest ferment in their institutions so corrupted by nepotism that no real progress can be made other than for choosing who - other than themselves - takes the blame for the situation they put themselves in. Trust me, it isn't this tiny minority called Jews, it's the narrow-minded, bigoted and stale majority of the muslim fath. Grow up and take responsibility for your own shit instead of blaming it on someone else.

The Mycenaeans were like, "Our kingdoms are collapsing, and it took so long to build them, oh it's *such* a drag to rebuild them... Let's destroy everyone else's instead, so we are even! Who's with me?!"

The problem was exactly the globalized economy. The bronze age empires were too dependent on mutual trade, and if one piece fell the rest collapsed like a house of cards. The main issue was that to make bronze weapons, you need bronze. To make bronze you need copper and tin, and these are almost never found together. Thus needed to be traded from far away. Commerce interrupted=no bronze=no weapons.

Literally thousands and thousands of men or Gods wearing horns / horned helmets are depicted in Scandinavian petroglyphs and metalwork. There are even men (or Gods) wearing horned helmets depicted on real helmets without horns. It was the belief - probably all over the ancient world - that wearing something from an animal would transfer some of its strength. The Scandinavians of cause didn’t wear horned helmets or (whole) furs from bears / wolfs in battle, it was ONLY during rituals / ceremonies.

Sea peoples are the name given by ancient archaeologists and historians of the Middle East in the 19th century to a group of ancient peoples that migrated through the Mediterranean sea and attacked the kingdoms that were located east of the Mediterranean basin, Egypt as well as the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the Anatolians in Anatolia. The attacks of sea people led to the fall of the Hittitese mpire and the weakening of the Pharaonic Kingdom of Egypt for a long time, and the destruction of many cities of the eastern Mediterranean, such as Ogarit. The sea people , most importantly the Palestinians (Philistines) , have taken control of large areas of the southern coast of Canaan. There are also theories that the emigration of sea peoples is a migratory migration, as they returned to their original homeland Palestine, after they established kingdoms in Greece. The earliest mention of the sea people dates back to the end of the 13th century BC, where Pharaoh Merneptah lists the peoples he has won, among them "foreign sea people " as he described in his letters. 20 years later, Pharaoh Ramses III mentions another attack of these peoples on Egypt and boasts that he defeated them despite their power that led to the defeat of the Hittites and other nations . Some historians doubt the credibility of Ramses III's report, and believe that he attributed Merenptah's victories to himself. BTW jews don't like them because they defeated them many times.

I am excited for this!

Good video. Clearly detailed the possible origin of this Bronze Age Marauders.

Nice video, your art gets better and better with each installment. Will you be doing any more videos on the wider context of the Late Bronze Age Collapse? It's one of the most fascinating and mysterious periods in history.

Overly sarcastic productions sent me here.

wrote a research paper years ago about the sea peoples. origins of the Sea Peoples (i made the argument their origins were across the Mediterranean World) who resettled into the ANE for subsistence purposes beyond raiding. Great video!

Dominique Wilson interesting stuff. Which parts of the Mediterranean do you think they originated?

I came here from Stefan Milo. How could I have missed this channel...? Have now subscribed. Great video!

Bravo! Well done. I like your Ramses II ‘impression’.

I am impressed by your presentation. Visual and audible illustrations give a vivid imagination of what took place. Which gives a clear perspective on our current time... Thank you. P.s. Have you heard of the table of nations?

Superb video for an amazing subject ! Thank you for your clear explanations of such a vast subject in such small time. I’d like to ask where you got your documentation, sources ? What books, or articles ? Thank you in advance

I love to hear about those most ancient civilisations and their wars. It always gives me a mindfuck and some uncanny feeling. Hearing about their wars and migrations, it's strange, interesting and amazing.

Heard a lot about the possibility of Mycenaean warriors being the sea people due to their excessively violent collapse and the invasion of the Dorians into Greece. It's good to learn about the other supposed origins of the sea peoples.

Yep it is known that the collapse of Mycenaean Greece/Achaeans was incredibly violent/chaotic as seen by archeological evidence such as remains of arrowheads, broken weapons, burn marks on ruins, etc. indicating battles being fought and cities getting razed to the ground. Remains of fortified hamlets at high elevations to protect the survivors from, well, something. It is clear that it was an age of massive depopulation and destruction. Any Mycenaeans who remained either migrated away in thousands of boats with families and cattle towards the east or the little who remained hid away in these fortified hamlets and forgot how to write.

Great video as always.

Such an excellent idea to collaborate, so many more history channels to subscribe to.

The Sea Peoples were the Mediterranean Sea version of the Vikings :D Also nice video btw. When I was a kid in school I remember they taught us a theory that what actually caused the sea people's raids was a volcano that erupted and destroyed their homeland.

I’m in love with this channel! And the soothing voice, makes history come alive.

Really love your videos and I have a tendency of rewatching them occasionally too, especially this one. On a sidenote, what's the music you used in the background? Really lovely tune and it vaguely reminds me of some old game but I can't put my finger on which one.

You should give this an update with the new DNA information on the possible origin of the Philistines from the Aegean, Sardinia, and the Iberian coast.

We know some of the sea people’s came from the lukka lands of southern anitolia, western anitolia had confederations called the asuwa league later becoming arwaza. Arwaza was known to fight the hittie they were known to work with myceanan kings. Western anitolia has always been a thorn in the side of the hitties. And I think the Sheridana are the nuragic Sardinian, they even have the same type of swords and helmets.

Epimethius i think this vid might be your masterpiece totally enjoyed it

Top quality sir, as allways

The only people capable of producing a complex civilization socially and militarily organized were the Shard'en. The others were fractions of peoples conquered along the route for the commerce of the tin or convinced to ally for the conquest of the Egypt. Today the evidence is visible through the presence in Sardinia of over 7000 towers of 30,000 originally present on the island. Apart from the pyramids, their powerful structure is unparalleled in the ancient world and their number suggests that the island was one of the most populated lands of the Bronze Age. The characteristics of the nuragic bronzes that reproduce warriors and ships found in large numbers also confirm their similarity with the figures painted in the tomb of ramsses. The great statues (statues of mont'e prama) found recently in Sardinia dating back to this period provide further confirmation of this great civilization, the only one able to lead and organize the fallen of the Hattite empire,to carry such distractions in the mediteranean, and even threaten Egypt. SHARD'EN: PEOPLE FROM THE REBEL HEARTS THAT NO ONE CAN DEFEAT (ramssess ||).

@Xrey Frrrick Can't just hide behind the accusation, though. Sometimes Nationalistic garbage turns out to have some kind of basis in truth, regardless of how poor fools seek to abuse this truth for their own sense of self-importance or worth. Have to dig into the material and present sources and a coherent argument for why he is full of shit.

Nice vector art. Always good to see a fellow artist.

A great introduction to a still not fully understood event in the bronze age. Although Ramses II (1213-1279 BCE) had fairly small battles with the Sherden, Lukka and Karkisha.who may have been mercenaries for the ever annoying Libyans, records show the Sherden particularly were also used by the Egyptians as mercenaries too. Merenptah (1213-1204 BCE , son of Ramses and later Ramses III (1187-1156 BCE) felt the full brunt of the Sea Peoples invasion. Both times the Peoples brought their families shown by Oxen driven carts in inscriptions. Merenptah records attack by the Libyans, Ekwesh, Teresh, Lukka, Sherden, and Shekelesh. The Meshwesh appear later in the text as do the Ekwesh and Teresh and not grouped with the sea peoples. Later in the document the numbers of the dead and valuables taken from the invaders list 742 dead from the Ekwesh with the figures not shown for the other groups. Ramses III denotes the Peleset, Tjeker, Shekelesh, Denyen and Weshesh were among the Sea Peoples he defeated. I would caution transliterating Egyptian names for these peoples into our knowledge of who they are. Because the subtraction of vowels may lead us to assume similar sounding names today can be wildly wrong and scholars still fiercely debate their original locations. The only agreed name are the Peleset who are believed to be the Philistines of the Bible. If you think today, we call the country Germany, the French say Allemagne, the Swedish say Tyskland, none are even close to what they call themselves-- Deutschland as examples of how one people can be called many names by their neighbors.

To be fair though, comparing the name of a nation state with that of a tribe is not accurate since, during that time, peoples existed, not nations. For example, the French name for Germany- Allemagne- clearly originates from the Latin word Alemannia which means "the land of the Alemanni", Alemanni being the Germanic tribe living roughly in the areas of Bavaria and Alsace. Although it is debated if they were a single tribe or a tribal confederation- although the French usage of the world would make even more sense if it referred to a confederation of tribes. Anyways, other countries use the transliteration of the same Latin word to refer to Germans such as the Spanish- Alemania, Portuguese- Alemanha, Welsh- Yr Almaen, Arabic- Almania, Turkish- Almanya, Persian- Alman. Western Europeans states continued to use the terms because of the Romance languages they use while the Eastern states used the term clearly either because of their interactions with the continuing Roman Empire in the East or because of the later interactions with the Franks during the crusades.

very interesting video. I would have added the fact that in the XIII-XII centuries BC a "minor" climate change happened in the Mediterranean. there were droughts through the region that let south eastern iberian late bronce culture El Argar to collapse too

Well done. Makes so much sense. Just as Vikings didn't come from one spot in Norse country, it makes sense that the Sea Peoples came from many areas to form the Elite bands of warriors terrorizing the Mediterranean. Pirates also came for different ethnic backgrounds. It's what you do to assemble an elect group of warriors for plunder. Not everyone is cut of for it.

Great Doc! Best Regards from Portugal ❤🇵🇹
