Ancient sources -- such as the Homeric epics and the Hebrew Bible -- depict an era of widespread famine, ethnic conflict and population movement, most famously including the migrations of the Sea Peoples (or biblical Philistines) and the Israelites.Uh, no. The "sea peoples" "migration" isn't historically attested anywhere; there are a few Egyptian references to these folks, and due to the goofed up modern pseudochronology, they are said to be from a widespread number of different places (including Sardinia) where there's literally no archaeological support for their very existence. There's literally no reference to them in the Old Testament from the era of Solomon (or anywhere else).
The supposed Dark Age at the end of the Bronze Age are another artifact of the modern pseudochronology.
The Homeric epics name a pharaoh of Egypt attributed to a dynasty that ruled centuries later than the supposed date for the Trojan War, but contemporary with the Phrygians (also listed as allies of Troy).
The Scythians actually entered the histories of the eastern Mediterranean including Old Testament sources.
One of *those* topics.
