I have just found it interesting my entire life that this mysterious “sea people” that no one knows where they came from exactly suddenly invaded the lavant displacing all the native peoples and then they just as suddenly disappear from history.
All all of this occurs almost exactly when it is estimated that the Jews fled Egypt and entered the promised land.. the entire bible then goes on to tell how the Jews then invaded the promised land and conquered and/or killed everyone they encountered.
Those two stories which happen at the same time sound to me at least like the same story from different perspectives.
And if you were a non jews how would you refer to these people who suddenly appeared from no where and started invading and raiding? well.. they say they came when their God split the Red Sea to let them enter. So .. maybe we call them Sea People..
Just my personal belief
Here is the thing. It goes back further to the neolithic age. The cultures found at Mount Carmel in the Judean mountains spread and split into other tribes, that split into even more other tribes. Just like sects of religions do. And even though they were all from the same origin they have now developed their own unique cultures. Then they naturally start conquering each other for resources even though they had the same parents and grandparents. Just like families do for wealth inheritance when someone passes. They didn’t begin as all separate tribes like we subconsciously assume. The sea people came from the levant in the first place and then returned back to the levant to invade it later.
