History shows us that superior civilizations with better technology, can fall to less capable and technical civilizations when they do not prioritize their own defense.

About the Sea Peoples: the Sardinia connection is mostly based on name similarity (Sherden–Sardinia). But the horned warriors in Sardinia appear about 2–3 centuries after the Late Bronze Age collapse. Similar warriors and equipment already appear earlier in Mycenaean art. And we know the Mycenaeans were capable of long-distance military expeditions and used ships for warfare.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smUWI9ZBvuI&t=310">5:10</a> Medieval? Maybe you meant Mediterranean? If not, you're off by about 2000 years.

I got too distracted with constant pictures of present day nations on the map rather than ancient nations. Couldn't finish.

A few researchers have found evidence that supports the Sea People being from central Europe beset by famine described in writings indicate may have been from a volcanic eruption creating a weather change affecting crops, they have tried to locate it possibly in SE Asia. I saw a video describing their work last year.

Why do you mention 'medieval'

@LarrySiden · 6 months ago
Contains anachronistic terms like "medieval " and visuals that don’t always match narrative.

The short answer is, “the Sea People were not a single people. They came from all over the Mediterranean.” (At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smUWI9ZBvuI&t=960">16:00</a>) (It’s much like a future archaeologist looking at the genetic structure of Americans, trying to find a single DNA pattern. They couldn’t.)
