As someone who has played every total war game it has the feel of a saga game so far unless they add a lot more in terms of cultures, units, and play style variety. I hope it's more in depth that the play throughs have shown so far

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.
I would also add that Merenptah was an old man by the time he came to the throne and he also beat them off.
The Hittites were smashed by the Sea People, so they were not a threat
@@SantomPh Not really, as explained in the video, Sea people were attacking from the other side. They may have fought Hittites in the past but at the time of the aforementioned war, Hittites were still a force to be reckoned with.
don't fall for the ancient egyptian propaganda... try something ''fresh''.... try ruZZian... lol
Hitites, Myceneans, Babylonia... Egypt. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony... Then everything changed when the Sea Peoples attacked.
The perfect Crossover 👌
muhahahaha
That "harmony" was basically a military ⚔ stand-off.
Best variant of this joke I've read.
Assyria and Babylonia were fighting each other during the sea peoples campaign. Their downfall (in the case of Assyria just decline) happened a century later because of the Aramean invasions.
I would love to see a video on how the late Bronze Age collapse affected Mycenaean Greece. How the great palaces of Tiryns, Pylos and Mycenae were laid to ruin, and how Archaic Greek civilization rose in its stead.
or how egypt and the hittites survived the "collapse" and grew bigger after it
Id love to know how it affected phonecia, since they thrived after
@@jerseyboyce1The Hittite Empire, culture and language did not survive. They basically vanished from history.
@@jerseyboyce1 the Hittites shattered into petty kingdoms, the actual empire did not survive the Collapse

I see anything remotely close to the Late Bronze Age collapse and I instantly smash the like button.
You should watch Fall Of Civilizations Bronze Age Collapse. They go the most in-depth about the Bronze Age Collapse that I have seen so far.
@@stanchpandora3658Fall of Civilizations is awesome
Were the Sea People Native Americans from the Americas, Celts from Western Europe, people from Southeast Asia, people from East Asia, even people from Subsaharan Africa, people from Eastern Europe like Slavic peoples or Thracians, Norse/Vikings from Northern Europe, even people from Central Asia like the Scythians, Persians, Turks or Huns.
I remember that the story was the Sea people were from Eastern Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus area, or even from Atlantis to the west of the Mediterranean Sea.
How Ramses III handled these people reminds me a little of how King Alfred handled the Vikings. He might've been the King Alfred of his day.
What did Alfred do to them?
@@lyricofwise6894---He was the first English King to truly start defeating the Vikings. But it wasn't until his grandson became king that the Vikings were defeated once and for all. And after that their were some Vikings that stayed in England and became English themselves.
King Alfred was the Ramses lll of his day.

@@jameshenrysmith---Some historical sources say that they might've been from Crete. But it's not been confirmed for certain.
I remember reading about the Sea Peoples when I was in middle school. I was fascinated by them so much so that when I had to write a history report about any Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, I chose Ramesses III just so I could mention them.

13:54 This seems like the best explanation as to why they suddenly started attacking the Bronze age empires. The sea people didn't cause the Bronze Age collapse but were one of its victims and needed somewhere else to go.
@@AB-gk8cs They did not cause the Bronze age to collapse, but they most certainly made empires collapse.
The Germanic invasions were kinda the cause of the fall of the western provinces of the roman empire and the dark ages, maybe it was something similar for the communities of the bronze age, same for the mongols for many parts of asia and so on
@@viperking6573 But the Germanics collided with the limes because they were also running from the Huns.
@@neutronalchemist3241 Ye true
@@AB-gk8cs Yeah I agree there are many factors at play.
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.
So "sea people" are northern Italians
@@Hans-rd9lf some of the sea people probably were, but they were several different people.
@@Hans-rd9lf It is a mix, Sardinians are represented among them as well. They were a confederation of a lot of different peoples but Northern Italy might be one of the primary locations of one of the sea peoples
So some of the pirates were Celts?
one thing leads to another and the world changes as roule
Considering how reliable descriptions about wars by modern dictators are, my guess is that when Rameses III says "he completely annihilated" the sea peoples, it actually means he was forced to yield significant land to them.
😂 - yup, that's more or less accurate possibility
Not even dictators: how many Americans believe the Vietnam war was a draw?
sounds like what nato keeps saying about ukraine. drafting women isnt a sign of winning a conflict.
@@sd-ch2cq Probably as many as would vote for a dictator.
@@cal2127literally
If I’m not mistaken, Homer describes a raid rather similar to a Sea Peoples raid in the Odyssey. Odysseus pretends to be Cretan prince who raided Egypt after the Trojan War and was forced to be a mercenary for a set period of time
In another book of The Odyssey Menealus himself said he raided Egypt "by mistake" and was repelled.
@@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526 that too
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.
@@aidenmurphy9924Greece was a colony of Egypt as well.
@@titanmode3888 No it wasn't
The Sea people lived on a sea food
diet. They see food and they eat it.
BEST COMMENT...
Old dad joke.
@@skeptigal4626 a lot of negativity to a such ''short'' name...
Primarily shellfish 🦐
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.
the ancient Minoans are either mycaneans or ioanians
Interesting. I playes Aoe1 too as a kid, although I started with the demo version.
I played the Hittites campaign, which was my first civ, hence my soft spot for Hittites. As the last mission, I had the Battle of Kadesh and after winning it, they mentioned in the aftermath about how the sea people arrived and destroyed the Hittites all of a sudden after peace between Egypt and Hittites.

Do you plan on doing a video on the Minoan civilization and earliest parts of proto-Greek history? I know one was done on the Mycenaeans but it would be interesting to see the impact of the Minoans and the so-called "Pelasgians" of prehistoric Greece who preceded the Mycenaeans
Yep, at some point
Minoa had nothing to do with Greece, it got conquered by the Greeks yes but it had more in common with ancient Egypt. Watch the ancient rockart of “Minoans bringing tribute to Egypt” - They look nothing Greeks or Europeans
@@titanmode3888 Actually they were technically neither. Minoans had the same relationship with Mycenaean Greeks that Sumerians had with Semitic peoples. They ultimately not the same people and spoke different languages but were absorbed by the people who migrated in and served as a major contributor to that other people's culture and later foundation. Also DNA and archaeological evidence has proven that the Minoans' ancestors didn't come from Egypt even though they had close trade relations and that they probably had come from Anatolia
@@elifriedman8812 I never claim they were the same people.. they had more in common with the ancient Egyptians. When you look at the rockart of the Minoans bringing tribute to Egypt because they got conquered by the ancient Egyptians it’s clear the Minoans and Egyptians are closely related and to be honest i don’t trust Eurocentrics when it comes to DNA, they lie about Egypt constantly because they can’t accept it was a black civilization. Sumer was a colony of the ancient Egyptians, founded by Pharaoh Sumerkhet. The classic Greeks claimed that the ancient Egyptians conquered the whole known world from southern Europe and eastern Africa all the way to India by Pharaoh Sesostris.
@@titanmode3888The true egyptians, take offense to your falsehoods.
This is your intent, you spread the greek mythos of egypt ruling far as to india (which is not meant to be taken as anything other than greek mythos, like troy) as fact that they did (its unproven or not true), then you claim egypt was majority black (its unproven or not true), simply so you can say that Black Africa brought civilization and ruled most of the known world.
Thats your intent. It speaks volumes.
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.

Netflix needs to do a series about the sea peoples and the Broze Age collpase.
They'll make them all black, that company is a lost cause and can't be relied upon to narrate real factual stories.
Just like Hollywood directors been doing since inception or when they white washed Christianity
Blacks being in Egypt is not a crazy thought but making a movie in Africa based on an African empire and masking every one as white if the problem
We don’t really know much about them tho
I can hardly contain my excitement when I see the GO's of Kings and Generals craft yet another amazing video. Curious topic, excellent graphics, and the voice of the narrator make the channel a gift to the fans of history. Hats off!

Such an amazing video on a massively important topic!
Bronze age mostly collapsed by complexity theory. Ken Dark from Unv. of Reading who noted "as such systems become more complex and the degree of interdependence between their constitutent parts grows , keeping the overall system stable becomes more difficult known as hyper-coherence. 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. The Year Civilization Collapsed, Princeton Unv. Press
Great video as always.
That's one of the reasons, other reason is invasions from the the east, and then also the west
Sounds alot like usa-china relations today
Great topic!!!! Always wanted to know everything about them. Thank you.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Brilliant work!
Fabulous as always. I love it.
Literally been waiting for a video like this
There is now another theory arguing that Ramses III texts were misunderstood.Maybe the sea peoples did not wipe out Hatti,Carchesmish and Arzawa: they came from there raiding all the way to Egypt.
We do not know how the royal house of Hattusa fell ,but they were in war with multiple enemies during Thudalaiya IV and Suppiluiluma with ups and downs (they lost territory to Assyria but at the same time conquered Cyprus)
This is what I have been saying. No amount of expertise in translation of the text can give us a clear picture of what happened or if what happened was actually a myth.

The Sea Peoples are one of our 165 civilisations and Goliath is one of their leaders (special ability tactical but not quite tactical enough when he faces the Kingdom of Israel & Judah's David) so its nice to hear you say we are not throwing a complete curve ball with our somewhat eclectic ideas on history.
Please keep these up, you are by far the best at it and your narrator's mellifluous voice is made for radio/streaming.

EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS
Thanks!
Always found the Sea people fasinating. They brought a literal Apocylipce to most of the Bronze age world.
It was about the same time as the great cataclysm (explosion) of Thera (Santorini), which destroyed Knossos and its economic empire. The Cretans were a big part of the economic and stability of the area.
Home of the Minotaur and it's labyrinth (Icarus)...
It's always a bad omen when large sums of people are migrating across the mediterranean sea.
@@blacklion8208no,the Thera Eruption happened four centuries before.
@@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526
This may interest you.
Thera (Santorini) eruption 16th century BCE approx. 18th Dynasty new Kingdom Egypt. Destruction of Minoan civilisation Crete. 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.

This channel absolutely rocks 👌
The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.
He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
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.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.
Sea ppls are so interesting. Most common theory seems that something happened like a natural disaster or something florced them to unite and leave to find other lands or die. They rekt alot of ppl in their raids too. Crazy stuff. Some think from a volcano or famine/ crop failures forced them to move. Seems likely

Life was truly full of surprises back then. Those people have experienced and seen more in life than many of us ever will, cause the world was still very young and full of opportunities...
Most people lived half as long as we do now and rarely or never left the very small agricultural area they were born in. What a ridiculous comment.
Sylvester Stallone sent to the past where he sees monarchies and chiefdoms everywhere and says: "Not on my planet" and leads a planet wide rebellion before suddenly vanishing ontop his Mustang while fighting the Pharoh, leading his troops to waiver without their fearless leader. As we return to modern day earth we see Harambe setting down a book, look at the camera and say "My time has come" followed by a bang and fade to black.
Wheres my oscar
This was a nice in depth look at a very mysterious people
Excellent video.
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.
He also mentions the possibility of a series of earthquakes along the fault zone, at the same time.
Yes, but In the latest theories, it is considered that after earthquakes, life was always restored quickly, but after a drought of over 200 years, there were not many chances. In recent years, geological and other types of research have confirmed this prolonged drought in the eastern Mediterranean during that period.
@@tudorm6838 That is after individual earthquakes in this case the entire fault zone may have gone active.
@@tudorm6838 I'm saying there may have been a combination of events.
Were the Sea People's Native Americans from the Americas, Celts from Western Europe, people from Southeast Asia, people from East Asia, even people from Subsaharan Africa, people from Eastern Europe like Slavic peoples or Thracians, Norse/Vikings from Northern Europe, even people from Central Asia like the Scythians, Turks or Huns.
I’ve been waiting for a video where y’all talk about the sea peoples. They are such an interesting piece of history and yet little is known about them but y’all do a lot of research and make very high quality videos so I expected your sea peoples video to actually delve into the sources and make a really strong theory about who they were. My expectations were exceeded. Y’all did a great job with this one and I would love to see more videos about the ancient world. Most people at least in the United States teach history from classical Greece to now so a lot of us don’t know much about Mycenae and the Hittites, etc unless you studied it in university

I remember that the story was the Sea people were from Eastern Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus area, Celts from Western Europe, Berbers from North Africa, or even people from Atlantis and/or the Americas to the west of the Mediterranean Sea.
This is the best. Thank you
Thanks for the video
such a cool video! Very fascinating and incredibly well done. I would love to see videos on the smaller kingdoms that arose in the context of the Bronze Age collapse, especially the historical kingdom of Israel. It would be fascinating to see that against the background of historical trends and geopolitics at the time.
Thanks so much for your videos!
One of the 12 tribes Dan was one of the sea people. After defeat in Egypt, they settled in and joined the Israelites. Originally, they were from up the coast in present day Turkey and built ships.

Aegean greeks perhaps? They created colonies in what is known as Calabria southern Italy today.
Some of the sea peoples could well be them: danuna and ekkewesh .
But those names could be references to some places in Anatolia too (Adana,Hiwaya/Que,)

Indeed.
A video on the Seas Peoples and I find out about a new Total War game involving some of my favorite civilizations? Fantastic.

I’ll do you one better. Why is the Sea Peoples?

Not quite. When are the sea peoples?
Something I appreciate about the sponsor is their accurate portrayal of Egyptians, it is rare in Western media to see Egyptian characters with an Egyptian phenotype rather than a politically charged representation usually western European or western African in phenotype after Assassin's creed origins, which I believe is the best western media representation of Egyptians and ancient Egypt period, I think Total war did a great job with their protagonists.
The ancient egyptians were mostly mixed people. Of what we nowadays call MENA ethnic people (not west euro), mixed with East African people (not west african). So assassins creed origins is pretty close to how they looked
Ancient Egyptians weren't from specific race or ethnic, they were mixed. That can be very clear through the mummies and the rulers who ruled in the Ancient times... so actually we don't know how Egyptians looked like..until now Egyptians are still very mixed
@TheTruth-ko9ov That is false, the prehistoric ancestors of the Egyptians were a blend of Levant Farmer, Native North African and later smaller Meddeterianian, Iranic, and Cushitic influxes, these groups created what we call Egyptian(Nile valley) today and it is what we see cluster together in genetic studies. 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.
@ahmedanubis
Bb you already saying what i have said ..they are mixed. ancient Egyptians weren't from one race.
The Egyptian mummies are very varied
Blonde hair, red hair, brown hair, black hair, very curly and curly hair, straight hair, different shapes of skulls and noses
Ancient Egyptians were different groups of people, and they had different ties with different nations, they ruled different nations, and they also ruled by different people..
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.
You won't find a scholar says the ancient Egyptians weren't mixed or they were one group.
@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.
Great video!
good and differentiated, vivid documentation
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.
They got smaller by the Israelite - Philistine wars and later fully wiped by the Egyptians.
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....
However you see it though... Palestinians have nothing to do with the Philistines... the Peleset were not ''sand people'' but ''sea people''...
@@user-McGiver actually you are wrong , modern Palestinians are a mix of every group of people that was present through history in this piece of land , including jewish, in fact many Palestinians have more original israelite blood than ashkinazi converts ,of course they have the blood of old levantine people of cannanites and philistines , arab , and south european, and north african (egytian) ,you are more than welcome to look up the modern palestinian genom and dna components ...
@@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?
I always liked the theory that Iliad and Oddysey describe all these greeks traveling up and down the sea to and from their homeland to Troy. And at the same time these mysterious peoples are coming from the sea terorising the shores. :D
Of course it wasnt just greeks, raiding armies displaced groups that then displace other groups and with droughts and floods suddendly the whole econsystem has too much fires to put out and falls.
Doesn’t Homer describe a raid in Egypt very similar to a Sea people raid in the Odyssey?
Were the Sea People Native Americans from the Americas, Celts from Western Europe, people from Southeast Asia, people from East Asia, even people from Subsaharan Africa, people from Eastern Europe like Slavic peoples or Thracians, Norse/Vikings from Northern Europe, even people from Central Asia like the Scythians, Persians, Turks or Huns.

Beautiful drawings :D
I've even heard some of them could have been come from as far as southern gallic lands, through the Italian peninsula, then sailing.
I have a slight feeling Ramses III's victory might have been slightly exaggerated as kings are ever competing to be seen as the savior or their accomplishment stands out from the rest. But why weren't there any more inscriptions or sort of description of these people since they were defeated and chunk of them taken as hostages or slaves? possibly the best video that tries to piece together what these people were but there's still so many gaps to be filled in the jigsaw
Because everyone died and and civs were in ruin after ba collapse, and the few writer historians had better priorities than to think about foreigners history
@@lyricofwise6894you say everyone died but its clearly been stated in the video that many were captured and sold as slaves, some were relocated by the egyptian govt in the land known as 'Canaan', some who fought fiercely were integrated as part of the military and given duties. I'm pretty sure a description of these people exist somewhere in the annals of history but were either lost or destroyed as there have been hundreds of civilisation and people that conquered and came after the time as Ramses the third
Exactly my thought. I have seen history videos critical and often criticise Arabic sources of exaggeration or mixing of event but seem to take other sources hook, line and sinker.
In fact, they exhibit so much confidence in their interpretation of these events.
Even though am not a professional, I see so many questionable conclusions.
@@apachekafka773 Neither am i a professional but anyone who have read bit of history could question the conclusions we are talking about. in the era of history the video is discussing, there exists huge gaps and historians in trying to make sense of these events, jump to any source, and make bizarre conclusions. I still believe we have not even scratched the surface when it comes to the bronze age collapse.
@@maskedm3owllin68 I have observed that myself. Historians making interpretation based on how we see and do things today never ceases to amaze me.
Instead of saying, oh we don't know what he meant by that, they just write it off as wrong, exaggeration or fairy tale.
There is 99% information that we don't have. But very arrogant and boastful of the little we know.
Excellent video about the right mystery excellent job my old friends can we see the Pacific war's continue please and thx
Nice topic!
> History is always written by victors
> Sea people arrive and show up
> Caused the collapse of Bronze age civilizations in Mediterranean region

Or they assimilated and became those peoples.
Love that Totalwar sponsored the channel, seems like a great fit! Ill use your link to get the game as I was planning on getting it anyway. Cheers!
Homer uses the danaoi. Danaan is a hebrew translation and its sometimes speculated that the oft referenced lost jewish tribe of Dan in the bible may be them. The exodus story may very well have popped up in this time period. It was 400yrs after this that we started seeing major references to Hebrews in history
Note that the term Danoi is the plural and pronounced with long A as in - Dane-Oi - eg Danes as in Danish Vikings. Also the Hebrew tribe Dan were Sea-Peoples who were allied with Phoenician king Hiram of Tyre and thus busy traders and pirates.
Danaoi (plural ~oi) was one of the traditional Greek tribes. Homer wrote about the Greeks and their war in Tory.
Most interesting age! Thank you!
Please consider doing a video on the mythology, superstitions, and stereotypes of redheads!
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.
makes a lot of sense too. the dna will lead the way
That's a lot of claims packed into one comment .

It seems like some of the Sea Peoples were Minoans, but it seems that some of the other Sea Peoples were more like the Romans than the Greeks.
They have a feathered headress and horned hats but this doesn't mean they're Native Americans, Central Asians or Siberians necessarily.
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!
Overall migratory people have a level of ambition unseen in sedentary stationary people
Sea people were like the middle eastern equivalent to the Vikings
Or technically the Vikings were the European equivalent to the sea people
@@maddogbasil well ''sea peoples'' means ''they came by the sea'' and ''vikings'' means ''they came on a raid''.... I wonder how future historians would call today's ''boat people''...
kinda like a ''bronze age'' zombie apocalypse...
That sounds like South Indians
So technically. They were the Vikings in the Bronze Era.😮😅
Awesome video
This was really good.
So... the Sea Peoples were the Vikings of the Late Bronze Age, am I correct with this assumption?
Excellent work !
It seems they were Greeks like the Minoans, Pelasgians and Myceneans and Italians like the Romans and Etruscans, and barbarians like Thracians and Illyrians.

history is amazing and the most facinating part is that we wil never know
because the history is writen from the winers
Vikings all that
The sea peoples are the Ionians and Aeolians Greeks. They were force to leave Mycenean(not all leave but some of them) because of the invaders of their north the Indo European Hellenic stocks in their North (Dorians) also known as maccedonians in classical age
Edit: the Myceneans were mixed of neolithic Anatolians(Ionians) and Mediterranean Pelasgians people(Aeolians), before they got invaded by Hellenic Indo European(Dorians), they already adopted Hellenic language and the Indo European religion of their upcoming invaders
This has always been an interesting topic 🤔
Love it!
No one expects the Sea peoples!
dey wuz peoples an shit
Never underestimate super angry boat warriors it seems! A true historical classic from the bronze age 🤣
Even back then immigrants wreaked havoc.
