>>Sea Peoples<<
I thought they were called Atlantians?
Sea People>Phoenicians>Philistines ?
Very interesting; thanks for posting this. It’s the first time I can remember seeing a map presented so concisely. I wonder if there was some natural impetus behind this, what must have seemed so sudden to those invaded, far from the Sea Peoples’ original home. A famine year in the Balkans or the northern Black Sea steppe (it’s clear I don’t really know where they came from, just guessing); pushed out of their own land by people like the Scythians; a dynastic civil war?
thank you!
From the map’s invasion routes it looks to me like they were mostly “land peoples” who just used the sea as a convenience for transporting their troops for some inland conquering.
Kinda like our Marines. The Navy takes them where they want to go but they take the beaches and then move inland. Not designed to be maritime fighters at all.
