	The Danuna on the Web
		In the historical sources, the Danuna are known by many different names such as Denyen, Danunites, Danaoi, Danaus, Danaids, Dene, Danai, Danaian.
		The relief tells that their was a confederation of Philistines, Tjeker, Shelelesh, Denyen, and Weshesh that united to attack Egypt (Pritchard 1969: 262-263).
		The author mentions the connections between Mopsus and Denyen.

	Sea Peoples
		The earliest mention of the Sea Peoples proper is in an inscription of the Egyptian king Merneptah, whose rule is usually dated from 1213 BC to 1204 BC, although mention of individual groups does occur earlier (for example Denyen, during the reign of Amenhotep III, and Shardana, as mercenaries to Rameses II).
		In the mortuary temple he built at Medinat Habu, in Thebes, Ramesses describes how, despite the fact "no land could stand before" the forces of the Sea People and that they swept through "Hatti, Kode, Carchemish, Arzawa, and Alashiya" destroying their cities, he defeated them in a sea battle.
		Such a theory identifies the "Ekwesh" with the Achaeans and the "Denyen" with the Dananoi, alternate ancient names for the Hellenes, with the further suggestion that the term "Achaeans" derives from a hypothesized ancient Pelasgian word "Acha", which would mean water.

	Trail of Tears - Queen Tiy - Feathers - Princess Dena - Sea Peoples
		In the mortuary temple he built in Thebes, Ramses describes how, despite the fact "no land could stand before" the forces of the Sea People and that they swept through "Hatti, Kode, Carchemish, Arzawa, and Alashiya" destroying their cities, he defeated them in a sea battle.
		It is possible that these mercenary groups eventually allied themselves with indigenous slave classes to bring down a number of complex but ossified state structures in Greece and the Near East.
		Some scholars have tenuously identified the Tribe of Dan with the Danua or Denyen, one of the Sea Peoples, speculating that the Danites abandoned the Sea People confederacy and joined the Israelite tribal confederacy sometime during the twelfth century BC.

	was Michael -- Re: deuteronomy (Peter)
		It's obviously not the Denyen, as they don't suit one's preconceptions.
		(You know, when the Denyen, Tjekker and the Philistines arrived.) Fact #4: >Remember that "Dan shall judge his people as (sic!) one of the >tribes of Israel", And this is what Gen 49:16 says.
		While the Denyen obviously had ships -- well, you know, they were people from the sea -- what do our ex-goat herders and the like (hey, well, they've not long come in from a long desert vacation) have anything to do with ships -- in which they remain??

		The Teresh and the Shekelesh continue in their activities and are joined by the Tjekker, Pelest and the Denyen.
		We do know however from Madinat Habu that "foreign countries made a conspiracy in their islands" and this is the movement which produced the Peleset, Danuna, and Tjekker.
		In the Papyrus Harris I, Ramses III talks of "the Denyen in their islands" and the "Sherden and the Weshesh of the Sea".

		At his Medinet Habu mortuary temple, in Thebes, Rameses III describes how, despite the fact that "no land could stand before" the forces of the Sea People who destroyed the ancient civilisations of Anatolia, Cyprus and the Levant, he defeated them in a combined land and sea battle.
		Zangger identifies the "Ekwesh" or "Aqaiwasha" with the Achaeans ('Αχαιοι) and the "Denyen" with the Danaoi — alternate names for the Hellenes familiar from Homer, with the further suggestion that the term "Achaeans" derives from a hypothesized ancient Pelasgian word "*acha", which would mean water.
		For instance, the Denyen or Danuna are known to be associated with Cilicia in Southern Anatolia because Hittite records refer to them as the "People of Adana".

	Tribe of Dan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The location of the Tribe of Dan, between Ekron and Joppa, would place them in the medial position between the Philistines and the Tjekker, at Acre, according to the tales of Wenamon.
		If so the tribe of Dan would have perhaps been identified with the Denyen, part of the Sea People's invasion of Egypt.
		Dan seems to have been added to the Israelite confederation after the period of Deborah, as when this prophet called upon the aid of the people's of Israel, Dan was preoccupied with "his ships" and did not respond to the call.

	[No title]
		The Sea Peoples coalition was composed of the "Peleset, Tjeker, Shekelesh, Denyen and Weshesh," according to Ramses, and it also included the Sherden.
		The Shekelesh and Sherden had been among the earlier adversaries of Egypt (the mercenary Sherden had appeared as allies, as well!), but the other four are new names.
		As noted above, most scholars identify the Peleset with the biblical Philistines, mainly because of the linguistic similarities in their names and because the Peleset of the Egyptian texts settled in the areas in which the biblical Philistines were later found.

		Some believe the Sea Peoples to have come from Mycenean Greece, and to be associated with the persistent enemies of the Jews, the Philistines, who settled in southern Palestine, or Philistia.
		More likely, the Philistines are related etymologically to the Pelasgians, the native population of Greece, said to have been displaced by the invading Danaans, usually identified with the Denyen, mentioned in the records of Ramses III.
		Scholars also recognize the Denyen Sea Peoples, as one of the twelve tribes of Israelites, the tribe of Dan, or the Danites.

		Following a hypothesis that there was an Aegean effort to take Egypt, some academians established, by using linguistics, that the names of the confederates in the invasion were known tribes.
		One example is the Trekker who were considered to be the Teucrians, and, more importantly for this topic, the Denyen who were established by these folks as the Danaans of Argolis.
		The Aegean origin for the peoples in the invasion was finally established in academia by Maspero, as he built on the work of such people as DeRouge and Chabas.

	Holman Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org
		Ancient Egyptian records include the “prst” as part of a larger movement of people known as the Sea Peoples, who invaded Egypt about 1188 B.C. by land and by sea, battling the forces of Ramses III, who, according to Egyptian records, defeated them.
		The Sea Peoples, a massive group that originated in the Aegean area, included the Tjeker, the Skekelesh, the Denyen, the Sherden, and the Weshwesh as well as the “prst” or Pelesti, the biblical Philistines.
		As they moved eastward from the Aegean region, the Sea Peoples made war with people in their path including the Hittites in Anatolia and the inhabitants at sites in North Syria such as those at the site of Ugarit.

		It is universally agreed that the Peleset can be identified with the Philistines and last week we proposed that the Denyen were in fact the tribe of Dan for obvious reasons.
		To complete the thesis we must convincingly identify the Theker and the Weshesh, a task that has confounded ALL scholars and Egyptologists until this day.

		They eventually settled in southwestern Anatolia an area to become known as Lycia, an area of developing Hellenic civilization.
		Also from the eastern Aegean region and coastal Anatolia were the Akawasha, Denyen, Tursha, Shardana, and Shekelesh.
		The Akawasha might well be Homer's Achaeans and the Denyen the Homeric Danaans: names which are synonyms in the Iliad.

	Seapeoples
		If we survey the history of Egypt, we can find a record of an invasion by a people with a name very similar to the Tribe of Dan.
		They were called by the Egyptians the Denyen, Denen or Danu.
		On the face of it this inscription causes a problem in that the Peleset are identified as the Philistines, but who were the Tjekker and the Weshesh.

	The Ancient Philistines (Philistia) in the Gaza Strip of Israel
		The two erstwhile major powers at the time (Egypt and the Hittites) were politically weak and militarily impotent and the Sea Peoples -- among them the Philistines -- exploited this power vacuum by invading areas previously subject to Egyptian and Hittite rule.
		This confederation of tribes included also the Tjekker —- Sheklesh —- Denyen -— and Weshesh.
		In wave after wave of land and sea assaults they attacked Syria —- Palestine -— and even Egypt.

		54 For a summary of the evidence linking Dan with the Denyen, see Allen H. Jones: "Bronze Age Civilization: The Philistines and the Danites", Public Affairs Press, Washington, DC, 1975.
		Such subgroups would have included, for instance, the Tjekker and the Denyen who were members of the Aegaean group the Philistines dominated and whom the Egyptians mentioned on occasion separately
		These sea-borne contingents then followed presumably Cretan leaders and crews to the Levant where they may or may not have met up with other groups who had arrived from Anatolia by land.

	the Sea People - Atlantis Rising
		Little is known about the Weshesh, though even here there is a tenuous link to Troy.
		Finally, of course, the Peleset eventually became the Philistines and gave their name to Palestine, but they too probably originated somewhere in Anatolia.
		Thus, both sides in the Trojan War may be represented among the Sea Peoples, but the impossibility of obtaining precise dates for the fall of Troy and the raids of the Sea Peoples makes it difficult to work out exactly how they are connected.
