The years between around 1500 and 1200 BC are often cited as some of the most prosperous that the world had ever seen. The Eastern Mediterranean world inhabited by the Egyptians, the Hittites and the Minoans, as well as numerous smaller states around them, was a truly cosmopolitan system rarely seen in world history. Greek and Hittite trade goods regularly show up in archaeological sites in Egypt, whereas Egyptian hieroglyphs and trade goods are found in places such as the island of Crete and Mycenae. One shipwreck off the coast of Turkey carried goods from nine different states aboard.
As evidenced by substantial diplomatic communications as well as trade, the world of the Late Bronze Age was a vast interconnected system. The culmination of an unbroken cultural line which had existed since the first cities three thousand years before. Little did the inhabitants of these lands know however that from around 1200 BC their world would catastrophically and violently fall apart in a decades long cataclysm known as the Late Bronze Age Collapse.

@ History time You forgot Spain when mentioning sources of Tin. The Phonecian settlement at Carthage was exploiting the Spanish source of tin, which made it wealthy enough to break away from Phonecia and become its own entity. You also appear to have forgotten to include that Egyptian sources indicate that some of the Sea Peoples were allowed to settle in unpopulated parts of Egypt and thereafter contributed to the defense of Egypt.

When you really think about it... this was another case of "The Great Depression" occurring in history. The difference is no culture really survived it when this occurred. Even Egypt was so drastically influenced and changed in the aftermath of this event they were literally not the same anymore. "Those who do not learn and pay attention to history are doom to repeat it." I feel like whom ever the person or people that finally figure out what happened we as a global society will have a better understanding of how to avoid and handle another potential major global catastrophe of some kind like them. It won't eradicate them from occurring entirely. Instead this would help us be able to identify the warning signs early on. Then conduct changes to stop it or shrink the scale of the damage or crisis (A.K.A. future events like these become drastically smaller in severity than in the ones in the past.)

I wish they would make a series or movie about the late bronze age collapse. Especially since we know so much more in the last 30 years. Two things we know from this period are 1. There was a volcanic eruption 2. The sea people came from the north or northwestern area. Some say they were Greek or came from Anatolia but why would they destroy their own cities. At this time there was a massive volcanic eruption in Iceland which is what pushed the people down towards the eastern Mediterranean.

I say Sea People = Atlanteans. Common belief is that they are in the Western Mediteranian if not in the ocean so it would be easily believable that a large number of survivors from Atlantis, after suffering from a large drought and famine, as well as attacks from the east as the empires there went after an easier target than if they upset the balance at home (everyone was involved), and so the Atlanteans moved east, and then insert a map showing the dispersion of people through Asia and the Americas and imagine it as a large number of people.

There are theories about Iron working entering the Mediterranean from Caucasus through Thrace, although most sources I’ve read put this about 800 bce. Perhaps trading in iron preceded the technology and as the Eastern Mediterranean was cleared of the old kingdoms the old wealth mill - copper/tin trade became less profitable? Was the coming of Iron the cause of the ‘Bronze Age collapse’?

1177-1171BC; The years that the global climate collapsed. Northern Europe was iced over for the 5 year Ragnarok the Five Years without Summer, (Irish bog oak studies). The sea peoples are from the Bronze Age Civilization of Northern Europe. Phaeakian (Viking) Longboats that cruised the North Atlantic and near Arctic brought gold, silver, copper and furs to Europe (Hyperborea) from as far away as Copper County, MI. When the Raganarok struck, they, their families, flocks, history, culture and traditions sailed South, along side Peoples such as the Pallas-Aethenian (Peles-et, Phillas-Tine), Achaean, Danoi, Troyan and Phoenikian. They fought the local inhabitants for lands and harbors in the warmer South, from Lebanon to Cadiz they brought their Culture and Warfare. When the reached the Eastern Mediterranean they met the Mycenaean elite and their serfs (farmers/Aegrika/Greek) and many settled on either side of the Dardanelles and around the Western shore of the Kymerian (Cimmerian) Sea. The Kymer had the farthest to travel and they scattered far from their arctic homes in the far North of Europe to far separate lands. Most of the Mediterranean Bronze Age civilizations were already reeling from the Winter Storms, crop destruction, famine and pestilence that always follows a gigantic cold event. They stood little chance against the Sea Peoples and the others that swarmed down from the North through the passes in the Caucus Mountains. Peoples such as the Hebrews and their Céile Dé-an cousins the Gaels and Iberians had pushed East into Scythia from the Empire of the River Egypt and then after surviving many years in desperate circumstances. They took lands away from the locals and made them their own. ..... (Repeated from an earlier work)

We know about solar maximum and solar minimum, magnetic pole reversals and other events that trigger massive climate changes, but no one knows for sure anything about predicting any of it. You can say a solar minimum is coming, look back at the historical record and get an idea of what Could happen. Same with the pole reversal; we don't know for sure what will happen, but if you look at the fossil record, there is an massive extinction event that happens on the same cycle as the pole reversals. It happens about every 10-12k years. We are over 12k years already and the South Pole is somewhere out in the Ocean now. Look it up. But, I did not buy, or build a bunker.

Who were the Sea Peoples? This issue has been touched upon briefly several times during this analysis, and it deserves to be addressed directly. Perhaps the best and most unambiguous way to answer this question is to separate the winners from the losers in this epic series of battles. As we have seen, the major losers were 1) the city of Ugarit which was totally destroyed and never rebuilt, 2) the Hittite empire which was destroyed and left only a residual fragment on the Euphrates River, 3) the Mycenaeans who were fatally wounded and would disappear completely within a hundred years, and 4) Egypt which had won the battles but lost the Levant-it would waste away and become a shadow of its former self.

And where might one find this source of information? I recall there being a story about an Egyptian ruler declaring war against the Scythian tribes in not so kind words only to have the Scythian peoples respond in such numbers and speed to make him leave his army behind. The Scythians essentially turning back after they reached the swampy delta which was well suited to their calvary heavy tactics. One could almost postulate it may have been Vikings but during the bronze age their travels abroad were predominantly for trading.

"Basically the Bronze age collapse is the Trojan war. No other peoples had such a navy as the army of allied nations gathered in Aulis under Agamemnon. 1000 ships (1186 ships in actuality with names of kingdoms, captains, crews, etc. listed). They were the sea peoples. The Myceneans dominated the seas. Greek tradition tells also of Menelaus in Egypt. The Tejeker are probably the hero Teukros and his followers, he is mentioned in Egypt in Euripides Helen, where the real Helen is actually in Egypt, and they go there to get her. The Trojan war itself and the events that followed the war was the collapse. First of all, the trojan war was not only the Iliad, the Iliad is events of 50 days of the 10 year war. The war raged all over the place until it reached the events in the Iliad (take a look at the Epic Cycle out of which only the Iliad and the Odyssey survive). Also, most of the Greek heroes of the war wandered after the city fell and didn't return, well what could a wandering army of hundreds of war ships be doing I wonder. The navies of the peoples of the Trojan war is like the elephant in the room of the whole Sea Peoples mystery. In the Odyssey book 4 it says ” Now as he spoke fair-haired Menelaus heard him, and he spoke and addressed them with winged words: “Dear children, with Zeus verily no mortal man could vie, for everlasting are his halls and his possessions; [80] but of men another might vie with me in wealth or haply might not. For of a truth after many woes and wide wanderings I brought my wealth home in my ships and came in the eighth year. Over Cyprus and Phoenicia I wandered, and Egypt, and I came to the Ethiopians and the Sidonians and the Erembi, [85] and to Libya, where the lambs are horned from their birth.3 For there the ewes bear their young thrice within the full course of the year; there neither master nor shepherd has any lack of cheese or of meat or of sweet milk, but the flocks ever yield milk to the milking the year through. [90] While I wandered in those lands gathering much livelihood,.." So the sea peoples were partly a mass migration of refugees and veterans of the Trojan war seeking new lands to settle, but the bulk of them were a huge raiding party, veterans of the Trojan war under the Spartan king Menelaos who went on a rampage all around the eastern Mediteranean that put an end to Hittite imperialism and tried to end Egyptian too but failed. The women and children depicted by the Egyptians are the warriors' war captives from Troy if it depicts those under Menelaos, but it could be refugees-migrants. The Sicilians and Sardinians probably only raided Africa. and were a separate group from the Achaeans and the Danaans under Menelaos. The Pelasgians were also probably a separate group with the Ilians, the Trojan survivors like Aeneas." Quote by Ya Maniki There are so many other things i could write if anyone is interested, that erase any other hints of doubt that the Sea Peoples were in their majority comprised of Greeks.

@All Knowing 369 *1/2 OF MY REPLY (due to KZfaq's system limitation on the size of each comment)* You write, _Greek didn't exist before 1821._ Last time i checked Greek happened to be the most recorded language in the history of the world, with literary material beginning from 1450 BCE (namely with Linear B tablets). There is a direct timeline that never ceased from antiquity. Proto-Greek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Greek_language Mycenaean (proto-Arcado-Cypriot/proto-Achaean) Greek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycenaean_Greek Ancient Greek (with its many Greek dialects) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek Hellenistic/Koine Greek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koine_Greek Medieval/Byzantine Greek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Greek Modern/Demotic Greek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Greek Instead, when was Albanian first recorded? Let me answer, in November 8 1462 AD with the Formula e pagëzimit, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_e_pag%C3%ABzimit. And aside of that, Albanian is the most mixed language in the Balkans, with 90% of its lexicon consisting of Latin, Greek, Slavic, Italian and Turkish loanwords, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_language#Lexicon. And to be more precise, 60% in total of Latin, which shows that proto-Albanian formed only after it came into contact with Latin in the 1st millennium AD. Not surprisingly, when albanological studies were just emerging in the 19th-20th centuries, it happened that Albanian was classified as a Romance (Latin) language. You write, _1881 leaked map by Russia shows the full ethnic Albanian lands before the assimilation. before it was all of balkans. no slavs at all. -> __friendsofkosovo.wordpress.com/history/a-map-has-emerged-from-secret-archives-that-proves-the-albanian-version-of-history/__ This hidden map exposed drawn by Germans in 14th century. and read in it._ That is a fake map with zero credentials, which isn't even ethnographic by the way. You want to see how an actual map from the period looks like? Here is one published in 1689 by Dutch cartographer Nicolaes Visscher II, with full credentials, designating the geographical extent of Greece (or Graeciae per the Latin of the map), upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Atlas_Van_der_Hagen-KW1049B12_088-Exactissima_totius_ARCHIPELACHI_nec_non_GRAECIAE_TABULA_in_qua_omnes_subjacentes_Regiones_et_Insulae_distincte_ostenduntur.jpeg Here is also another version from 1759 by Swiss Leonhard Euler showing that Albania back then was geographically pretty much the region inhabited today by Ghegs (the original Albanians), antiqueprintmaproom.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mg_9399_copy.jpg Furthermore, would you like to see an actual ethnographic map of the Balkans, and not mere geographic? Here you go, published in 1876 by German Heinrich Kiepert. It takes time to load, but you can then zoom-in and see in detail both the Greeks of Northern Epirus (southern Albania) as well as the albanophone Arvanites, brbl-zoom.library.yale.edu/viewer/15498898 You write, _And if there was a migration, it was like a drop of water to the sea(Albanians)._ Really? Do they teach you in Albania anything about the fact that its modern region, the heartland of Albanian presence, was essentially largely absent of Albanians during the Middle Ages, and inhabited mostly by Slavs, Greeks, Venetians, and Aromanians with mostly Slavic toponyms throughout the country? Here is what we read from the Historical dictionary of Albania by famous albanologist Robert Elsie, i.ibb.co/XxmYmDV/Medieval-Albania-Historical-Dictionary-of-Albania-by-Robert-Elsie.png Albanians largely began their southward migrations during the 14th century AD and were accompanied by Aromanians, upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/13001350ALBANIANMIGRATIONS.png You write, _But the migration were old Illyrians, not slavs. the small drop weren't slaves. __kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntCekt2b2tWwg2SS.html_ as seen in this video and this._ Daydreaming as usual. It has been proven genetically that Albanians have little to do with ancient Illyrians, and more to do with Greeks and Thracians, who were very different from Illyrians. Here you can see some interesting genetic images that relate, based on actual ancient samples.

It goes down the trash bin of history with modern genetics. You write, _And __kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNZ4odSo15feiIGS.html_ and Balkan slavic and Albanian similarities as its an Albanian language but slavictised. "written language not spoken"._ Most if not all of these words, are either Slavic, Turkish, Latin, or Greek loans into Albanian and Croatian. I can actually give you dictionary etymologies for all, but i am not going to do it because it will take me time. You can actually do it yourself. Simply Google each one and find out that what i am telling is true. I did mention above some information about the Albanian lexicon being mostly comprised of foreign loanwords, about 90% of it.

It was all Albanian but after the heavy assimilations, especially congress of berlin, it assimilated the rest in Serbia, croatia, all of Balkans, ect._ LOL. There is nothing Russian about this map, nor actually anything realistic about it. Totally fake, like much of what you share. If anything, this map is even negated by the Albanian nationalistic proposal of the League of Prizren in 1878, by Albanian beys, who themselves proposed for an Albanian Vilayet to be made, upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Albanski_vilajet.png. That was of course just an Albanian nationalistic proposal, and of course doesn't mean that those four proposed Ottoman Vilayets, namely the Kosovo Vilayet, Scutari Vilayet, Manastir Vilayet, and Janina Vilayet were comprised exclusively of Albanians or even majority Albanians. Greeks and Aromanians combined probably made the majority in the Janina Vilayet, while the Manastir Vilayet was majority Bulgarians, and in the Kosovo Vilayet population between Serbs/Bulgarians and Albanians was almost half/half. Go see the actual demographics yourself for each respective Vilayet. They are described in the respective Wikipedia articles of the Vilayets. You write, _Creation of fake greece 1821 ->__kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eap8d8md0qu0g2Q.html__ by greek historians. __kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr5plMKLksi4Y30.html__ ->Its propaganda exposed by hidden books and infinite more hidden._ What propaganda? You don't even know what you read, hear, and see above. You take everything out of context and only being fed cropped and altered information, especially by the second video. It would take me hours to touch upon everything the videos goes through, but in short. We have actual censuses and in general related information, that place the number of Arvanite descendants in Greece at approximately 5%, including the mixed ones of course. For example, Johann Georg von Hahn, who is considered the father of albanology and who lived in Greece for more than 20 years (1843 to 1869), found that throughout Greece at that time (Peloponnese, Central Greece, Cyclades, Evia, and Sporades) there were 158,000 Arvanites, in a total population of 1,096,810 (according to the 1861 census). I can also expand on the sub-regional numbers specifically, but with that data we conclude that the Arvanites throughout the territory were about 14%. Also, we have Alfred Philippson who toured the Peloponnese in 1889 writing "Zur Ethnographie des Peloponnes, Pettersmans Mitteilungen" (1890). This author states that he managed to count the Arvanites of the Peloponnese and the Hermione Islands (Hydra, Spetses, etc.) at 90,253, in a total population of 730,000 of the same area, or 12% of the total population and 9.5% of the Peloponnese. He also estimates the Arvanites of all the regions of Greece of his time at 224,000 when the population of Greece in the same year (1889) according to the census was 2,187,208, which means 10% of Arvanites over the total Greek population of then free Greece (Peloponnese, Central Greece, Thessaly, Ionian Islands, Cyclades, Evia, and Sporades). Now, imagine adding Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia, Thrace, Dodecanese, Crete, and the Greek refugees, how much smaller that percent would be. And all that without counting the provable and certain assimilation of some indigenous Greeks to the Arvanite societies. Here is also again the ethnographic map of 1876 by Heinrich Kiepert that i shared above and validates all these, brbl-zoom.library.yale.edu/viewer/15498898 (it takes a little time to load). The one shown by the video is less detailed, and the uploader even presents the Greeks as Albanians, by stating that the pink color represents Albanians, when the actual map he shared has the pink colour representing Greeks, and brown as Albanians, LOL. Furthermore, Georgios Kountrouriotis was not the first President of Greece. He was the third, after Alexandros Mavrokordatos (first) and Petros Mavromichalis (second), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heads_of_state_of_Greece, and was essentially appointed as such only due to being wealthy (even the propaganda video that you shared says that), while at the same time he had an intellectual deficiency and was unable to express his thoughts with clearness (this is also stated in the propaganda video you shared). You write, _Albanian is more similar to ancient Homeric greek, and Ancient greek isnt a "SPOKEN" language, the authors, writers wrote a bit different, not spoken by public. __kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7Kplc-grpq9pWw.html__ and its still more similar to the written language then modern koin bible written language greek. fake identity._ LOL again. Ancient Greek was not a spoken language? The authors wrote in a totally different language not understood by anyone else? This is beyond ridiculous. Even the video that you share has all the ancient Greek and modern Greek words wrongly written, and forgets that all of these ancient Greek words are also present in modern Greek as synonyms. Furthermore, Albanian, even tough a fellow Indo-European language ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages ), just like Greek and many other languages, will naturally have similarities, but these are very few. There are just some 30 ancient Greek loanwords in Albanian, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_language#Early_Greek_loans, out of the thousands words the language has. Just to give you an idea of how ridiculours this trendy Albanian propaganda is, please translate me this following passages and give me the actual cognates of the following words in Albanian. Homeric Greek passage: "Ἔνθ’ ἄλλοι μὲν πάντες ἐπευφήμησαν Ἀχαιοὶ αἰδεῖσθαί θ’ ἱερῆα καὶ ἀγλαὰ δέχθαι ἄποινα· ἀλλ’ οὐκ Ἀτρεΐδῃ Ἀγαμέμνονι ἥνδανε θυμῷ, ἀλλὰ κακῶς ἀφίει, κρατερὸν δ’ ἐπὶ μῦθον ἔτελλε·" Or even maybe a Classical Greek passage from a few centuries after: "Δαρείου καὶ Παρυσάτιδος γίγνονται παῖδες δύο, πρεσβύτερος μὲν Ἀρταξέρξης, νεώτερος δὲ Κῦρος" - By the way, every modern Greek can easily understand that one, just by knowing modern Greek. Does any Albanian understand it? You write, _kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9yVpMxyqtjdY4U.html__ -hieroglyphics and Albanian similarities. Check out that instagram to btw._ Do you expect me to understand Albanian genious? That video is entirely in Albanian language. No English-speaking person can understand anything of what is presented. But just from auto-translating the title and description of the video i can only imagine how likewise ridiculous this video must be. You write, _Bulgarians are assimilated Albanians just like the rest of the balkans._ Bulgarians don't cluster genetically with Albanians, and of course are not assimilated Albanians. That is totally baseless. Same with the whole of the Balkans who have a genetic and linguistic variety. You write, _The truth is hidden._ The only truth being hidden, especially from Albanians, is that they process the lowest IQ in Europe, jakubmarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/iq-europe.jpg. I shouldn't have sat down to rationally explain to you all of the above like i did, bearing in mind the intellectual level you obviously have, but sometimes its necessary in the hopes the person (in this case you) will come to his/her senses.

The sea people were a symptom of the collapse, not a cause of it. The empires of the period didn't fully understand the consequences of farming on the same plot of land continually with no breaks. Depleted soil, combined with the drought, would've resulted in a massive famine. On top of this the Bronze age military was built on charioteers, who naturally were expensive and took a ton of training to uphold. When these charioteers were killed in combat it would be a time extensive process to replace them to say the least. The Bronze age civilizations were also highly centralized, and as mentioned in the video were also heavily reliant on trade. This also made them vulnerable to a collapse due to the interconnectidness of their society. The Assyrians were also less effected by the collapse,so they continued putting pressure on the Hittites and Egyptians so they could gain land in the Levant. With all these problems going on, the people would be displaced and would be forced to resort to raiding. Displaced refugees are most likely the Sea People

Rick K That's not how you copypaste, this is how you copypaste Military involvement was due to begin in October 1932.[5] The "war" was conducted under the command of Major G.P.W. Meredith of the Seventh Heavy Battery of the Royal Australian Artillery,[2][6] with Meredith commanding soldiers Sergeant S. McMurray and Gunner J. O'Hallora,[8] armed with two Lewis guns[9] and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.[6] The operation was delayed, however, by a period of rainfall that caused the emus to scatter over a wider area.[5] The rain ceased by 2 November 1932,[2][5] at which point the troops were deployed with orders to assist the farmers and, according to a newspaper account, to collect 100 emu skins so that their feathers could be used to make hats for light horsemen.[10] First attempt On 2 November the men travelled to Campion, where some 50 emus were sighted.[2] As the birds were out of range of the guns, the local settlers attempted to herd the emus into an ambush, but the birds split into small groups and ran so that they were difficult to target.[6]Nevertheless, while the first fusillade from the machine guns was ineffective due to the range, a second round of gunfire was able to kill "a number" of birds. Later the same day a small flock was encountered, and "perhaps a dozen" birds were killed.[2] The next significant event was on 4 November. Meredith had established an ambush near a local dam, and more than 1,000 emus were spotted heading towards their position. This time the gunners waited until the birds were in close proximity before opening fire. The gun jammed after only twelve birds were killed and the remainder scattered before any more could be killed.[8]No more birds were sighted that day.[2] In the days that followed Meredith chose to move further south where the birds were "reported to be fairly tame",[11] but there was only limited success in spite of his efforts.[2]By the fourth day of the campaign, army observers noted that "each pack seems to have its own leader now - a big black-plumed bird which stands fully six feet high and keeps watch while his mates carry out their work of destruction and warns them of our approach."[12] At one stage Meredith even went so far as to mount one of the guns on a truck: a move that proved to be ineffective, as the truck was unable to gain on the birds, and the ride was so rough that the gunner was unable to fire any shots.[2] By 8 November, six days after the first engagement, 2,500 rounds of ammunition had been fired.[6] The number of birds killed is uncertain: one account claims just 50 birds,[6] but other accounts range from 200 to 500-the latter figure being provided by the settlers. Meredith's official report noted that his men had suffered no casualties.[2] Summarising the culls, ornithologist Dominic Serventy commented: The machine-gunners' dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month.[13] On 8 November, representatives in the Australian House of Representatives discussed the operation.[6] Following the negative coverage of the events in the local media,[14] that included claims that "only a few" emus had died,[4] Pearce withdrew the military personnel and the guns on 8 November.[4][6][15][16] After the withdrawal, Major Meredith compared the emus to Zulus and commented on the striking manoeuvrability of the emus, even while badly wounded. If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world... They can face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks. They are like Zulus whom even dum-dum bullets could not stop.[12] Second attempt After the withdrawal of the military, the emu attacks on crops continued. Farmers again asked for support, citing the hot weather and drought that brought emus invading farms in the thousands. James Mitchell, the Premier of Western Australia lent his strong support to renewal of the military assistance. Additionally, a report from the Base Commander indicated that 300 emus had been killed in the initial operation.[16] Acting on the requests and the Base Commander's report, by 12 November the Minister of Defence approved a resumption of military efforts.[16] He defended the decision in the senate, explaining why the soldiers were necessary to combat the serious agricultural threat of the large emu population.[4] Although the military had agreed to lend the guns to the Western Australian government on the expectation that they would provide the necessary people, Meredith was once again placed in the field due to an apparent lack of experienced machine gunners in the state.[2] Taking to the field on 13 November 1932, the military found a degree of success over the first two days, with approximately 40 emus killed. The third day, 15 November, proved to be far less successful, but by 2 December the guns were accounting for approximately 100 emus per week. Meredith was recalled on 10 December, and in his report he claimed 986 kills with 9,860 rounds, at a rate of exactly 10 rounds per confirmed kill. In addition, Meredith claimed 2,500 wounded birds had died as a result of the injuries that they had sustained.[2]

Rick K I don't understand why you're so pissed off that I watched a youtube video, and later decided to share that information/opinion in the comment section of another video on the same subject. It's almost as if we were supposed to try and learn and help others learn from these videos, but I guess I'm missing the point

The kiln story was just one letter in a collection of clay tablets, and it turned out not to be a kiln but instead an overturned clay basket amid burned remains of the structure. There were certainly other letters asking for help against a group that sound like Sea Peoples, but none in kilns.

May be Sea People were the same folk from Mecklenburg bronze age battle or greeks. There are more things under the sun than we could imagine. But if you see, egiptian people just said "Sea people" , there was no other physical difference between both people(?!).
