       | The sea people sounds alot like "ship"-residing refugees sailing
       | along the coasts to me. They would be armed, they would be
       | desperate and pillage like the vikings. And they would end
       | wherever there boats ended up falling apart. Either fighting the
       | locals or mixing with them. I guess this is what you do, when
       | your city is besieged, runs out of food and you still have an
       | open harbor.

         | appears throughout history there are periods of mass population
         | movements due to various reasons such as climate change,
         | population explosions or invasion by "steppe people" as Dan
         | Carlin refers to them.

       | If anyone's interested in the Sea Peoples and the Late Bronze
       | Age, I recommend _1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed_ by
       | Eric H. Cline. It gives a great overview of the primary sources
       | and evidences for the factors leading to the Late Bronze Age
       | collapse, including the role the Sea Peoples may have played as
       | both a cause and symptom of larger societal issues.
