Summary

The Sea People were a menace to eastern Mediterranean society and contributed to the destruction of the Late Bronze Age. But what do we really know about them?

It is difficult to know the Sea People intimately because the records on them aren’t very comprehensive. But we set out to explore the many questions people have about this mysterious civilization. Who were they? Where did they come from? Did they do more than simply pillage, and what impact did they have on society and commerce? Would you be shocked to learn that these mysterious people were more than a band of pirates?

This audiobook is going to explore these raiders of the wine dark sea. We are going to look at where they likely came from, what strategies they used, and how they disrupted and brought down major civilizations.

Come with us on this voyage through history, and explore the evidence we have on the Sea People. You will discover, just as we did, that they were fascinating shakers of history. You will also get a close look at the legacy of this ancient band of sea rovers as recorded on the walls of the temples and cities they brought down.

In this audiobook, you will learn the following:


  • Possible ancestors of the Sea People;

  • The groups that made up the Sea People (no, they were not just one people group!);

  • The Sea People’s role in the end of Mycenae and the Hittite Empire;

  • What the Sea People were looking for in their conquests;

  • Some of the major battles the Sea People engaged in;

  • Possible links between the Sea People and the Trojan War;

  • Archaeological evidence of the Sea People;

  • And so much more!
