Sea peoples in Canaan, Cyprus and Iberia (12th to 10th centuries BC)
In 1855, French Egyptologist E. de Rougé first used the term “Sea Peoples” while describing the reliefs of Medinet Habu and the events of Year 8 of Ramesses III (c. 1175 B.C.). de Rougé’s successor, G.

| Sumario: | In 1855, French Egyptologist E. de Rougé first used the term “Sea Peoples” while describing the reliefs of Medinet Habu and the events of Year 8 of Ramesses III (c. 1175 B.C.). de Rougé’s successor, G. Maspero, popularized this term. The Sea Peoples have been commonly thought of as a confederation of seaborne raiders who invaded the Levant at the turn of the 13th/12th centuries B.C. For nearly two centuries, they supposedly attacked major cities in Cyprus, Asia Minor, and Canaan and sought entry into Egypt.This work reviews the historical presence of the Sea Peoples in Canaan, Cyprus and the Iberian Peninsula, covering events from the early 12th century B.C. through their defeat in Canaan at the beginning of the first millennium B.C. The aim is to better understand these Sea Peoples and their alleged behavior and actions. The Introduction of this work expresses the main motivations that led to this effort and its originality. It is followed by three parts: Part I is dedicated to the active players in the Levant during this period. It includes a review of the Philistines (Chapter 2) and their position vs. the Egyptians, their battles and consequences. Chapter 3 relates to the Denyen (an additional member of the Sea Peoples coalition) including the analysis of some of the theories related to them. Chapter 4 deals with the Sherden, the group that was recognized in the depictions of Medinet Habu as Egyptian mercenaries. Chapter 5 explores the connections between the Asherites, other Israelites, Canaanites, Tyrians and the Sea Peoples. Chapter 6 analyzes the Tjeker, another group of Sea Peoples that had a prominent presence in Canaan (and became the core of this dissertation)... |
