The Sea Peoples: The Ancient Mystery That Stumped Historians For Centuries — And What Modern Science Finally Revealed About Who They Really Were
The connection to the Sea Peoples arises from the proposed identification of the Teresh (or Tursha) of the Egyptian inscriptions with the Tyrsenoi — a Greek name for the Etruscans (who called themselves Rasna).
The argument goes that the Teresh were an Anatolian or Aegean people who, as part of the broader upheaval of the Bronze Age Collapse, migrated westward to Italy, where they became the Etruscans.
This is a hypothesis that has been taken seriously by some scholars but rejected by others.
The linguistic connection between “Teresh” and “Tyrsenoi” is suggestive but not conclusive.
Ancient DNA evidence has been invoked on both sides of the debate.
