    What makes Ramses III's victory even more majestic is the fact that he is probably one of the few leaders who have won a two pronged war after being surrounded by different enemies in the opposite direction ( Sea people and Hittites) at the same time. The guy was simply ahead of his time!

    Ramses III fought a war that seemed pyrrhic in the outcome. The antebellum years after the Sea Peoples and the collapse of the Bronze Age empires left Egypt a shattered mess of theological-kingdom states. The Pharaoh was a shell after the invasions and the economic upheaval. What he did was the equivalent of surviving a mass extinction event, and being the only unsustainable population left of your species.

    Northern Italy was depopulated due to drought during the era of the bronze age collapse. They were already a war like people so them turning to piracy is fairly normal. There is a hint of this in a Homeric poem where a group of tyrsenians act as pirates within the Mediterranean. The Greeks of the dark ages considered piracy a good thing according to Thucydides, so the sea peoples raiding and killing for plunder was not so much them looking for better opportunities but them returning to the piracy that allowed them to claim their homeland in the first place.

    The sea peoples being Greek is a popular theory. But there are issues with the theory. The first big issue is the fact that the Egyptians already had established relationships with many Greeks through trade and migration. They already had names for many Greeks, and they do not use Greek names describing the sea peoples. A second big issue of the theory of Greek invaders is the fact that many Greek cities also recorded being attacked around the same time by similar sounding people. Greek v Greek fighting isn't unusual, but what is unusual is the sheer scale of the recorded invasions. All we really know is that some group of peoples fought very successful campaigns against large empires of Greeks, Hittites, and Egyptians. And what's also unusual is how little is left behind. The sea peoples would arrive in one day, slaughter and pillage, then leave without much trace. Personally, I love the sea people's story because of how mysterious all of the clues are. It really is one of histories great unsolved mysteries. For example: Ramses II described capturing some of these "pirates from the sea" and he mentions that no one knew who they were or how to fight them. To add to the confusion, the "pirates" are described in other sources as being circumcised which is more evidence that they were not Greeks.

    I first heard of the Bronze Age collapse as a kid, and was intrigued by the mystery at the time. I played a lot of Age of Empires I as a kid, and had a strategy guide (it was the 90s, and those were popular for basically every major video game). The guide had synopses on various civilizations. The one on the Minoans spent a bit of time discussing how we didn't know what caused the civilization to collapse, but discussed the Sea Peoples as a potential reason for the collapse of the Minoans and other Bronze Age civilizations. IIRC, it presented their identity as a mystery, but made it sound like they were one group. Then again, a strategy guide wasn't exactly an academic text and was basically meant for teenagers, but it was still fascinating.

    Fall of Civilizations guy made a pretty compelling case that it was like Greeks who were displaced by people to the north of them, who were initially displaced by a volcano eruption around Norway or Iceland or so. It was one of his very first podcasts, and in it, I believe, he provides evidence of the eruption and other assertions of his.

This occurs when eact part of the system becomes so dependent at each other that change in any part produces instability in the system as a whole." p.176 Cline Eric, 1177BC.

Start of decline of the bronze age and collapse of the economy etc. 14th century BC (1360 BC) approximately, Amarna letters include 4 letters relating to the sea people, which is prior to Ramses III. Rameses III 1186 BC Sea People 1200 BC. Fall of Troy 1184 BC. Much closer than 400 years approximately 240 years difference from the Thera eruption to the Amarna letters mentioning the Sea people. There's much more to this period of human history. Same period of Thera eruption: Climatic anomalies were recorded in the time of King Chieh, the last king of the Xia, the earliest recorded Chinese dynasty. "At the time of King Chieh the sun was dimmed," the records report. "Three suns appeared." "Winter and summer came irregularly." "Frosts in the 6th month (July)." "Last year of King Chieh, ice formed in the morning," (very unusual for the Yellow River Valley in that period). The scientists said they dated the Thera/Santorini eruption with archaeologically verified predynastic and dynastic Shang and Western Zhou royal genealogies, calibrated by absolute astronomical dates. The Aegean Sea island of Thera, now known as Santorini, erupted with power equal to two million Hiroshima-type atomic bombs, said Drs. Kevin Pang, Santosh Srivastava and Robert Keston, all of JPL, and Hung-hsiang Chou of the University of California at Los Angeles. It must have been devastating the climate from where the Sea People came from! Nice the climate even today around the Mediterranean sea. Edit: JPL = NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

And the trees all shake and quiver and quake, As he robs them of their gold. The Autumn Wind is a raider, Pillaging just for fun.

    A few years ago, the cause that set Sea People into motion was seen as a combination of factors. However, recent evidence, including geological findings, suggests that the primary catalyst was a prolonged drought in the eastern Mediterranean, which had been ongoing for several decades and may have lasted for up to a century after the Late Bronze Age collapse. For instance, it is now believed that this drought led to internal conflicts, the rise of piracy in Greece, uprisings against established power centers, and eventually mass migrations. There is no evidence from that period supporting the idea of a foreign invasion in the region. It took nearly a hundred years after the collapse of the Mycenaean power centers before archaeological evidence of such invasions began to emerge. An illustrative example of how new information has emerged in recent years and how it has been interpreted can be found in the two editions of the book '1177: The Year Civilization Collapsed by Eric Cline.

    Ok, so I'm fairly familiar with the Philistine pentapolis in the early Iron Age. However, I've heard that the Philistines (or rather Philistine-Canaanites) continued to exist as a people at least until the rise of the Neo Babylonian empire. Any way you might cover this. I'd love to see your thoughts.

    philistines never went extinct like the comment above suggests , they simply mixed with local people of the levant , jews and Canaanites and egyptians due to there geographical vicinity to egypt (they mostly setteled in gaza ) , many sources suggests that they even fought in the israelites army and the egyptian , they simply integrated and mixed until theere was no distinctive philistine group of people/culture....

    ​@@user-McGiverwell obviously!! Over 90% of today's "Palestinian" Arab population only migrated to the Levant region in the last 200+ years. Mainly (ironically) as a labour force to service the growth of Yishuv resettlement of Jews, allowed to return to the (very underpopulated) country, under then liberal Ottoman policies, and mostly funded by European Jewish investment backing, (Montefiore and Rothschild families among others.) So no, no actual ties to ancient Philistines. What is interesting is that in the Torah, the Canaanite and Israelite people's in the land are collectively described as ... Kol yoshvei Peleshet, or all the sojourners of the Levant, so they (the Peleset sea people,) kind of gave their name to one of the names of the region. I just wonder how old that alternative name for canaan is traceable to, and if it by chance predated the period of sea people raids?

The claim that ancient or modern Egyptian were mixed implying that this was on a major scale is simply false, all humans have mixed, that we know, however the extent to which Egyptians(of the nile valley/ethnic Egyptians) mixed is very low for Egyptians to be called "mixed" evident from Egypt being the 5th most ethnically homogenous country and strong genetic continuity with ancient Egyptians.

Canaanites, Phonecians, Hittites, hyksos, Kushites, Persians.. etc Then Roman, Greeks, Arabs, Kurdish, turk, Turkish, Caucasians, Africans... etc That country is a transcontinental land which a hub for blended races and cultures It's not an Amazon jungle to be a preserved race or genome.

    @TheTruth-ko9ov Egyptians were Egyptians they weren't a multitude of ethnic groups, Egyptian is an ethnic group😂! Just because non Egyptians lived in Egypt doesn't mean they all mass mixed with the overwhelming native majority or that even if they did they would make such a heavy genetic mark for you to claim Egyptians were mixed, and even the Egyptianized among them were an insignificant minority. Brazilians are Mixed, Dominicans are Mixed Egyptians aren't. Even in major cites and regions like the fayum where there was heavy foreign presence, foreigners were often heavily outnumbered, Fayum being a great example of the diversity of Egypt, with an estimated 30% Greeks, Romans, and Jews, and 70% Egyptians....(The greeks a d romans were kicked out by arabs and the jews were kicked out by the greek church in Alexanderia, non Egyptians weren't open to mixing, they constanly interacted with Egyptians but when it came to marriage each stuck to their own, the recent kheidavate of Egypt is a perfect example of these dynamics Egypt had since ancient times). That claim that they all mixed has a nuance facade nothing more as it is not based on DNA, the sociology of Egyptians and their historically negative view of mixing, or even historical literature ancient or medieval, purely speculative and baseless.

    The tribe of Dan who had manned the Pharoahs fleets early in the bronze age. And were in fact sent out to find the tin and copper required. Established trading posts all around the Mediterranean and Black Sea. They put the Dan tribal name everywhere they went. From Sardinia to the Danube. These trading posts evolve into settlements from the Minoans to the Greeks and Sardinians. All of the Islands were from that male line with wives taken in trade from anywhere they traveled. DNA connects this group from the Black Sea rivers of the Ukraine to the islands of the Mediterranean. This group replaced the swarthy skinned blue eyed neolithic Europeans And they were the island people united as the Sea people. Eventually they became the Greeks via the Minoans and the Phoenicians via Tyre They had the ancient Hebrew Alphabet which comes to us through the Phoenician and Greeks.

    The Sea Peoples were like the classic steppe tribes of all of history, from the Yamnaya/Indo-Europeans to the Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic tribes, as people who came from afar to settle due to geographical concerns or other enemy tribes, were great warriors and conquered, and devastated the prior sedentary inhabitants. The thing is, a lot of the time the steppe tribes after greatly expanding would prove to be competent administrators and very malleable to the pre-existing local culture. The thing is though, the Sea Peoples were way different and straight up came in from the ocean and devastated ALL of the Bronze Age world's infrastructure (albeit a thoroughly declining infrastructure) so bad that writing disappeared, and then seemingly popped up and left. I can't even fully imagine some sort of strong, travel adept and martial culture coming in, fully demolishing infrastructure and daily life across what we see as modern civilization so badly to the point that we couldn't even use computers and write anymore and could only focus on surviving. And these are facts make the Sea People so enigmatic and interesting as a history enjoyer. Even if their impact wasn't truly at that level, they definitely caused daily life to change across a great cared of civilization so large that even today it's hard to really know what they did!
