"Sea Peoples of the Bronze Age and Mediterranean" features the
latest historical and archaeological research into the mysterious
and powerful confederations of raiders who troubled the Eastern
Mediterranean in the last half of the Bronze Age. Research into the
origins of the so-called Shardana, Shekelesh, Danuna, Lukka,
Peleset and other peoples is a detective 'work in progress'.
However, it is known that they both provided the Egyptian pharaohs
with mercenaries, and were listed among Egypt's enemies and
invaders. They contributed to the collapse of several civilizations
through their dreaded piracy and raids, and their waves of attacks
were followed by major migrations that changed the face of this
region, from modern Libya and Cyprus to the Aegean, mainland
Greece, Lebanon and Anatolian Turkey. Drawing on carved
inscriptions and papyrus documents - mainly from Egypt - dating
from the 15th-11th centuries BC, as well as carved reliefs of
Medinet Habu, this title reconstructs the formidable appearance and
even the tactics of the famous 'Sea Peoples'.
