No one knows for certain but surely Aegean people were involved such as the Philistines, Ekwesh (Achaioi) and Denyen (Danaoi)

The Lukka who were allied to them were Lycians.

The Shekelesh and Sherden are a complete mystery, some scholars have associated them to Sardinians and Sicilians because of their names and because those islands were well connected to the Eastern Med through trade around the same exact period the same people showed up.

The Weshesh, Tjekker and Tursha are a complete mystery.

Given the map you have shown, is it possible that they could have been some early celtic tribes?

The Nuragic peoples were the Sardinian people, they were highly organized, probably the inventor of castles and fortresses.

I'm always reminded by Machiavelli when I think of them. Why would a people build fortresses within their own people? They seem to be colonialists in Sardinia before moving east into the Levant to raid.

They could have been trying to establish themselves as a power by taking Egypt down.

Is there an English translation? I really want to visit Sardinia, I was thinking about buying one of those package holidays there for a week, only costs about €700, hire a car and drive around to the sites.

Yes I know of this hypothesis.

Recently a huge 1000+ pages book has been published by a Sardinian archaeologist about the Sherden and he identifies them with the Nuragic Sardinians.

There is also a Nuragic statuine with a solar disk placed between the horns on his helmet, similar to those of the Sherden depicted in Egypt.

Am, I think they did defeat the Egyptians initially, then they migrated through the Red Sea down the East coast of Africa. The Egyptians only recorded good things about god kings.

I don't know, the Italian version was published like 2 months ago, there are a lot of interesting informations in it, for instance Sardinia is the place where the greatest concentration of LBA Cypriot/Syrian copper oxhide ingots have been found, some of them were produced in Egypt itself according to the latest studies.

Obviously SouthEast Asia

>>2677551
I doubt it.

>>2677248
if anyone is interested about the oxhide ingots lots of scientific analyses have been done and they have all been traced to a single mine in Cyprus. I suggest reading the works of Gale and Stos-Gale who did the isotrace analysis. Also Knapp. Muhly, Lo Sciavo and Kassianidou. This tome covers most of it Kassianidou, V. and G. Papasavvas, 2012.

The mediterranean perhaps, personally, I've only read the pop version of the sea people and what effects they had in the late bronze age. Although it must of caused some form of catalyst to the great empires around ANE.
