Documentary: The 'Sea People' | Catalysts Of The 'Bronze Age' Collapse

n modern day Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Greece some of the greatest Bronze Age Civilizations rose to power. The Hittite Empire, the Mycenaeans, the all-powerful Egyptian Empire. But in 1,200 BCE they imploded and the Bronze Age period of history collapsed. What, or who, was to blame? Evidence from across this region point to wave after wave of marauders invading from the sea right at the point the Bronze Age Collapse occurred. They’ve become known as the Sea People. Could they be responsible?

The Sea Peoples were a confederacy of naval raiders who attacked ancient Egypt and other regions in the East Mediterranean before and during the Late Bronze Age collapse. They are considered one of the major contributing causes to the Bronze Age Collapse and were once regarded as the primary cause. The term "peuples de la mer" was first concocted by French Egyptologist Emmanuel de Rougé while studying reliefs at Medinet Habu, becoming further popularised with an associated migration theory in the late 19th century. The Battle of Djahy was a major land battle between the forces of Pharaoh Ramesses III and the Sea Peoples who intended to invade and conquer Egypt. There is an emerging consensus that the Sea Peoples were essentially dispossessed victims of the disturbances at the end of the Late Bronze Age who migrated to other regions in search of greener pastures, both literally and figuratively. One theory suggests that the Sea Peoples were actually the Trojans who’d been displaced following the mythic Trojan War with the Greeks.
