The Sea Peoples: The Ancient Mystery That Stumped Historians For Centuries — And What Modern Science Finally Revealed About Who They Really Were
The architecture of Cyprus in the twelfth century BCE shows evidence of cultural change.
New building styles, new pottery traditions — including the Mycenaean IIIC:1b pottery that also appears at Philistine sites — and new material culture appear alongside the continuing local Cypriot traditions.
This has been interpreted as reflecting the arrival of new populations, possibly from the Aegean, during the collapse period.
Was Cyprus a major transit point for the people who became the Sea Peoples?
Were some of the named Sea Peoples groups — perhaps the Tjeker or the Denyen — primarily Cyprus-based maritime communities who participated in both the disruptions and the subsequent settlements along the Levantine coast?
