The Sea Peoples: The Ancient Mystery That Stumped Historians For Centuries — And What Modern Science Finally Revealed About Who They Really Were
The tablets do not name the enemy in a way that allows certain identification.
The “enemy ships” are associated with the broader crisis of the period, and the connection to the Sea Peoples is circumstantial rather than certain.
But the convergence of evidence — the dating of the destruction level at Ugarit to approximately 1185 BCE, the contemporaneous Egyptian records of Sea Peoples attacks, and the descriptions of enemies attacking from the sea — makes the connection plausible.
Ugarit was never rebuilt.
