Welcome to the History of the World Podcast. My name is Chris Hasler.

And you're listening to volume 2, The Ancient World

0:15.9

This is episode 19

0:49.0

Ancient Egypt after the New Kingdom done. We don't clearly know who the sea people were and we don't clearly know where they came from. Ramesses II was certainly aware of them from the start of his reign all the way through to the end.

0:56.9

The Egyptians recorded the names of different tribes who were collectively seen as sea people.

1:03.2

We have already stumbled across one or two of these distinct tribes during this podcast

1:09.6

series. One of the tribes was the Schurdon who attacked Egypt's Mediterranean coast at the beginning of

1:17.5

Ramesses' reign and were conscripted to some degree into the army that Ramesses led to Kades.

remember. The Sea Peoples are very much in the line of fire

2:25.8

whenever historians look to point the finger at somebody for the cause of the

late Bronze Age collapse. Even if they had a strong hand in the demise of the Mycenaean

2:36.8

Greeks and the Hittites, there was a lot more to the decline of the New Kingdom of Egypt than an invasion of seafarers.

2:45.4

It could be fair to say that the disappearance of two well-established trade nations would have
