They defeated them in the great battle of the nile delta.
Well they were entire tribes on the move. I think the best explanation for the collapse is social unrest. The great Bronze age kingdoms had enormous populations for the time period. Mycenae, Pylos, and Tyrins dwarfed any of the classical Greek city-states. You had a godlike king ruling from his palace and his noble charioteers that the king ate with and probably knew each of them by name. Then you had masses of lightly armed infantrymen who were only needed during times of war. What happens when there is a long peace between the great kingdoms and highly mobile tribes disrupt the fragile trade networks that are the heart's blood of these gigantic cities?

Boats with300 men each armed with spears, short swords, and javelins devastate your coasts.Not only that but they stop the grain shipments and all the trade you need to keep your huge populations alive and content.

did they seriously wear horned helmets or is it bullshit like ninjas wearing pajamas and vikings looking like Conan?

Yes they did
>>913965

They did wear them and hilariously enough Vikings did not.
What are some good books on the Bronze age? Seems cool AF tbqhfam

Some kind of environmental shit, likely a massive series of volcanic eruptions causing crops to fail and hordes of people to move to found a new living space.
It's very probable that the Atlantis myth is based on it.
>>915251
but the santorini explosion happened a few centuries earlier
>>915301
Maybe it was unusual volcanic activity coupled with soil erosion and social decay.
Sea peoples threads are so unbelievably trash tier, pretty much on a par with germanwank and alt-history.

It was something much bigger than just Santorini. We have discovered a trace of gigantic population migrations even in China from that period, something probably caused crazy ass crop failure all around the planet.

Not really

The picture he posted represents Nuragic people

Hasn't recent scholarship shown that to be nothing more than mass migrations and not the destructive conquests as believed in antiquity?
>>915328
Modern horses require a diet supplemented by oats.
Old style horses are better for going out and conquering shit, they can live off the land.
dem minoan women
>>915356
but we don't even know if the nuragics were the origin of the sea peoples, or if they were simply used by them as a base of operation

Well, to be fair they also sailed up the seine and got the french to pay them off and then settled on their coast.

True, an interesting note from a recent work (he's talking about a site in Cyprus):
This group may correspond to a first peaceful wave (of Sea People) who pitched their camps in this region some time before the eighth year of Ramses III… The final destruction … may be attributed to a second and larger wave of Sea peoples, who vanquished both the population and country of Amurru. (BADRE, 2006: 93). Prosegue Karageorghis: It is most probable that among the Aegean immigrants there were also some refugees from Sardinia. This may corroborate the evidence from Medinet Habu that among the Sea Peoples there were also refugees from various part of the Mediterranean, some from Sardinia, the Shardana or Sherden. … It is probable that these Shardana went first to Crete and from there they joined a group of Cretans for an eastward adventure. (KARAGEORGHIS, 2011b: 90)

Legitimately frustrates me. One of the most important events in human history and all we've got on it are some Egyptian tomb enscriptions and broken pottery.

Sea People were actually literal fish people but world goverments covered it up to not spread panic truth is the ancient evil still lives in the sea stroking it's Kraken dick and waiting for the right moment to tentacle rape us.

If we consider the possibility of someting like that happening, and the possibility of the strait of Sicily being the original pillars of Hercules (realistic if we believe Avienus saying that the Celts live beyond it), the arrival of the sea people from the damaged Sardinia, that later becomes ispiration for Atlantis, makes sense.
>>915611
We also have that letter from Ugarit and shit like that. I think the raiders first ravaged the islands in the eastern Mediterranean, then invaded Anatolia and the Levand and slowly progressed down towards Egypt where they got BTFO.

No the Sea People are the ghost warrior of the Lemurians who died in the Hyper War. They emerged in the late Bronze Age because of the failure of the arctic soul circuit 6,000 years after the fall of the Finnish Empire.

There are some stele-statues in Corsica with the same "lobster" armor and the same horned helmet with an identical shape to that of the Sherden, these weird sculptures are dated to the bronze age, the stele-statues have sculpted swords too in their chests.
>>918097

The Corinthian helmet is basically a knob-end too.

He should be equipped with a bow not a lance but yeah more or less. The driver should have a shield, too, and maybe even armor of his own: The role of chariot driver was almost as high prestige as that of chariot archer in the Bronze age.

If you grew up in that culture though it'd be normal. Just look at those amazonian tribes where women are naked at all times.
