  The Shardana on the Web
The Shardana were among the first of the peoples now categorized as "Sea Peoples" to appear in the historical record.
The Shardana showed up in Egypt again during the reign of Merenptah, when they fought Egypt as part of a coalition of Sea Peoples (Redford 1992: 248-9), and again in the reign of Ramesses III, where they are featured prominently in the Medinet Habu reliefs as fighters alongside the Philistines.
However, this idea is tied to the theory that the primary factor in the Late Bronze Age-Iron Age transition was massive pillaging and piracy on the part of certain groups in the Aegean (Redford 1992: 244).

  Shardana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
suggests that the Shardana were an important part of the bands of pirates that disrupted Aegean trade in the end of the 13th century, and that their raids contributed greatly to the collapse of the Mycenaean civilisation.
Guido suggests that the Shardana may ultimately derive from Ionia, in the central west coast of Anatolia, in the region of Hermos, east of the island of Chios.
If this is so, the Shardana, pushed by Hittite expansionism of the Late Bronze Age and prompted by the famine that affected this region of the Late Bronze Age may have been pushed to the Aegean islands where shortage of space led them to seek adventure and expansion overseas.

The Shardana or Sherden sea pirates are one of several groups of "Sea Peoples" who appear in fragmentary historical records (Egyptian inscriptions) for the Mediterranean region in the second millennium B.C.; little is known about them.

Collegando il fatto ai mercenari shardana al soldo dei faraoni, i nostri studiosi sostengono che Erodoto intendeva riferirsi al periodo di Seti I (circa XIV secolo a.C.).
A più riprese i Shardana, a capo di una coalizione conosciuta nell’antichità col nome di Popoli del Mare, assalirono e devastarono i territori del Mediterraneo orientale e l’Egitto stesso.
Finché i Shardana detennero il monopolio del commercio del bronzo, i Tursha ebbero un atteggiamento quasi di sudditanza, accettando persino il fatto che i loro re fossero scelti fra i dignitari Sardi.

 peoples of the ancient Near East
According to D. Redford, the Shardana can be equated with the Sardonians of the classical era, a people from the Ionian coast who were skilled in fighting (1992: 243).
Furthermore, all of the material remains excavated at El-Ahwat seem to be typical of Iron I Age hill-country settlements, suggesting that the population was indigenous to the area.
It is unlikely, therefore, that El-Ahwat represents a settlement of the Shardana.

 Dark Mother, Dark Others, and a new World Case of Sardinia
The shardana were semites, whom Melis identifies as the lost tribe of Dan, a semitic tribe who venerated a dark mother.
The woman divinity of the shardana is glimpsed in bronze age cruciform figurines of a female and in many statuettes offering her nurturing breasts- - figurines very similar to those on other african migration paths in Europe.
The point at hand for mediterranean, sardinian, sicilian, italian, and world history, is that the shardana, in Sardinia, an island which archeologists regard as a museum of the prehistory of Europe, venerated a dark mother, whom Melis calls Mater Mediterranea.

E fu probabilmente il contingente di Shardana al seguito del faraone che, nella battaglia di Qadesh contro gli Ittiti (1270 a.C.) salvò Ramesse II da una sconfitta che avrebbe cambiato il corso della storia.
Il nome Shardana deriva da Shardin, Sher-Dan (Principi di Dan) così chiamati perchè probabilmente erano mercenari che si unirono alla tribù di Dan durante l’esodo degli Ebrei dall’Egitto verso la Palestina (L. Melis).

If, as I think, the Shardana are to be identified with people coming from Sardinia, then their architecture could have left traces of its presence in Egypt and the Levant.
She said that if the site had indeed been settled by the Shardana, the question arose whether it was independent or under Egyptian dominance.
The date given to the settlement and its abandonment could be connected with the weakening of Egyptian dominance in Canaan, she suggested.

In 1979 human remains were found that were dated to 150,000 BC.
Shardana and Shekelesh were also called by the Egyptians as the "people from the faraway islands", implying that Shardana were already residents of Sardinia at the time of the Egyptian expedition.
This assertion holds some truth; in fact most of the tombe dei giganti have a tombstone shaped like a ship vertically dug into the ground, bearing witness to their sea traveling activities.

It seems that Rameses II defeated them and selected some of these warriors for his personal guard.
They very probably could have found some resistance in their way to it, or it is also possible that they were explorers, so it is likely that only a warrior people, like at that age Shardana were, could have organised such an expedition.

On the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea, a tower-building people sometimes called the Shardana emerged, and soon dominated Sardinia and then invaded Corsica and the Balearics, and ruled them for about a thousand years.
They gave their name to their island, Sar DINia, and their very name SharDANa, proves who they really were.
The "Tower people," or Shardana, or tribe of Dan, conquered Corsica around 1400 B.C., the same time Israel entered the Promised Land under Joshua.
