Researchers have finally decoded a Babylonian tablet thought to be the oldest map of the world.
Created between 2,600 and 2,900 years ago, the Imago Mundi provided researchers with a unique glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the ancient civilization.
The Babylonian tablet has a circular map with pieces of text written in cuneiform - an ancient writing system that used wedge-shaped symbols - which describes the early creation of the world.

If advanced genetic splicing were available, then these were real creatures.
It is also my long-standing belief that the “sea people” who ravaged the middle east and basically ended the bronze age, were the Jews and or the people the Jews drove from their historic lands when they invaded the promised land.
I think people are thinking of sea people in the wrong way. They are thinking people who attacked by sea, when instead it is the people that crossed the red sea when Moses split it.
It is also my opinion that the lost tribes of Israel are simply those tribes who choose to interbreed with other pagan slaves freed at the same time as the other Jews. These tribes who were already an ethnic mix then intermarried with the remains of the pre-existing peoples in the parts of the promised land they occupied until eventually they were basically “lost”
Sea peoples were the Phoenicians and Levant tribes that proceeded them like the pre-bronze Ghassulian were probably seafaring also. But yes they were originally from around the Levant.
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
If the Jews knew about them, they didn’t know about the land of Israel?

He was known as the “Unicorn Killer”

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.
I like your theory
It was all sibling rivalry... :)

Ancient Alien theorists say yes.
Notice they never say no?
An early edition of the Babylon Bee!
My comment was in reference to the statement in the article that the map purportedly shows the known Babylonian world, despite several other civilizations in the area at that time.
Why say no with all of the evidence?
I, for one, withhold judgement on such matters until it’s been Finkeled.
