	Sea people
		People or clans of seafarers that invaded eastern Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, Cyprus and Egypt in the 2nd millenium BCE.
		The Sea People could well be a branch of another people of the region, and there have been several suggestions to this: Ekmesh (a name the Hittites used for the Ahhiyawa), Teresh, Tyrrhenians (ancestors of the Estruscans), Sardinians, Shekelesh of Sicily or Pelest.
		Even if the Sea People destroyed much through their campaigns, it is believed that they were the founders of the Philistine and Phoenician civilizations, which soon grew to some of the most important forces in the eastern Mediterranean.

	Egypt: Who Were the Sea People
		The Sea People, who we are told of on reliefs at Medinet Habu and Karnak, as well as from the text of the Great Harris Papyrus (now in the British Museum), are said to be a loose confederation of people originating in the eastern Mediterranean.
		This first attack of the Sea people occurred during the 5th regnal year of Merenptah, the 19th Dynasty ruler and son of Ramesses II, and it seems that at first it took that king by surprise.
		However, the Sea People's alliance appears to have remained strong, for afterwards they destroyed the Hittite empire, ransacking the capital of Hattusas, and were probably responsible for the sacking of the client city of Ugarit on the Syrian coast, as well as cities such as Alalakh in northern Syria.

	Sea Peoples
		As for the vaunted encounters with ‘Sea Peoples’ in Year 8, it is easy to believe that a healthy portion of the foreigners, with their magnificent ‘Mycenaean’ weapons and tactics, were able to escape the ‘massacre’ in the Nile mouths.
		Allowing for ‘Sea Peoples’ to have originated from the Anatolian coast and the Aegean lends credence to the idea that Egypt was familiar with and, in fact, employed ‘Sea Peoples’ prior to the wars of Rameses III and Mernerptah (pp.

		The reliefs depicting the attacks of the Sea People, carved on the walls of the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramses III in Medinat Habu, near present-day Luxor, are also the earliest known illustrations of naval battle scenes.
		At the time of the Sea People's second raid on Egypt, most areas mentioned in the Medinat Habu inscriptions were either occupied by or allied to the Hittite kingdom in central Anatolia.
		Battles directly between the Sea People and Hittite troops may also have taken place on the Anatolian mainland, however, because extant clay tablets inscribed with diplomatic notes show how the Great King of Hatti had to turn to his vassals at the port city of Ugarit, in northern Syria, to demand additional troops and food.

	Egyptian art records the Invasion of the Sea People, sea faring in the 12th Century BCE
		The sea peoples were described by the Egyptian written records as a loose federation of seafarers and named according to their geographic origins in lists of captives of the Pharaoh.
		It is apparent by comparison of the tatics of the Sea Peoples to political emissaries sent to Egypt during the Reign of Ankenaten that the sea people did not conduct themselves as politically motivated individuals interested in diplomacy and trade.
		This is not meant to be a definitive analysis of the origins of the sea peoples but a work offered to raise the level of speculation and point the way to more definitive research on the subject of the reach and nature of twelfth century BCE seafaring and trade.

	Sea Peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sea Peoples is the term used for a mysterious confederacy of seafaring raiders who sailed into the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, invaded Cyprus, Hatti and the Levant, and attempted to enter Egyptian territory during the late 19th dynasty, and especially during Year 8 of Ramses III of the 20th Dynasty.
		This theory suggests that the Sea Peoples were the founders of the early semi-literate city states of the Greek Mycenaean civilizations, who destroyed each other in a disastrous series of conflicts lasting several decades.
		A recent theory proposed by Sanford Holst (Holst 2005) is that the Sea Peoples, facing starvation, migrated from Anatolia and the Black Sea, in cooperation with the Phoenicians, seeking food and land upon which to settle.

	Haunted Valley: Sea People
		The Sea People, even the Clerics do not see a conflict with Druidic ideas and their Religion, the feeling is that the world needs all kinds.
		The Sea People mostly see them as funny clerics, and Lawful Good Heroes of other persuasions may attempt to gain a level of Paladin much as they would instead choose a druid or cleric level to show a closer relationship with the god, while maintaining a different path to glory.
		Of note in Sea People society is the unusually large number of spellcasters who retire from adventuring at relatively weak levels (level 3-9, usually level 3-5) to craft weak magic items, having decided that the Heroic life is a bit too much for the compared to the easy profits of such a life.

	the Sea People - Atlantis Rising
		In the brutal hand to hand fighting which ensued the Sea People are utterly defeated. Ramesses III recorded his victory in stone on the outer walls of his mortuary temple at Medinet Habu and the author of the Harris papyrus included the accounts of these campaigns as well.
		Of the other four Sea Peoples, the Ekwesh are probably the Achaean Greeks, and the Denyen may be the Danaoi (though probably aren't), while the Shekelesh are the Sicilians and the Shardana were probably living in Cyprus at the time, but later became the Sardinians.
		This was due in part to the invasions of the Sea Peoples and the general disruptions of Late Bronze Age cultures throughout the eastern Mediterranean, with the collapse of Mycenaean and Hittite cultures and the destruction of city-states in the Levant.

		Meanwhile, SEA reached out to its constituents who responded by making donations to the Haitian relief effort in honor of the crew and students of C-197.
		The funds, made possible by SEA donors and supplemented personally by Captain Tarrant, purchased two Sonacaid fetal heart dopplers for the Center of Hope facility to be used in the 104 rural Haitian villages that they serve.
		SEA crew and students accepted this responsibility on March 9 with resolution and a powerful desire to help their fellow man — a mother, a son, a husband, a sister — stranded in open waters, seeking refuge outside their country.

	Sea Peoples and the Phoenicians
		An examination of the Sea Peoples would be remiss if it did not also acknowledge another popular theory: that these people were from the lost city of Atlantis, as identified by Frank Joseph[vi] and others.
		The peoples of western and northern Anatolia, however, were not members of the Hittite or Mycenaean worlds and in fact were frequently at war with those two societies.
		This attack by the Sea Peoples on Egypt, the breadbasket which had been supplying the Hittites with wheat via Ugarit,[xxviii] is consistent with the argument that these people were driven by food shortages in their lands.

		But around 1200 B.C. the balances of the region were upset by invasions/migrations by sea by peoples whose origins are not definitely known.
		Despite their technological skills the sea peoples produced a disruption in trade which, in turn, induced a dark age analogous to what happened in medieval Europe two thousand years later.
		The major source of information about the Sea Peoples came from scenes carved into the stone wall of the Temple of Medinet HJabu on the west bank of the Nile in the vicinity of Thebes.
