Here, we report a stratified radiocarbon-based archaeology with anchor points in ancient epigraphic-literary sources, Hittite-Levantine-Egyptian kings and astronomical observations to precisely date the Sea People event. By confronting historical and science-based archaeology, we establish an absolute age range of 1192-1190 BC for terminal destructions and cultural collapse in the northern Levant.

Historians point to the raids of the Sea Peoples, as a major contribute to the fall of Ancient Civilization. Moreover, it began the catalyst for the subsequent rise of Western Civilization in Greece and Rome. The devastation from the Bronze-Age collapse had brought the world into a Dark Age, for centuries. The world would not see another catastrophe of this magnitude, until the fall of Rome, over 1,500 years later.

The sea people were depicted by the Egyptians to have horned helmets.
A perfect storm of events in the region, such as famine, violence and massive earthquakes consumed the Bronze-Age Eastern Mediterranean. During the ensuing Dark ages, writing, building large structures, and other developments of civilization were lost. Contact between a vast network of commutation spanning across the known world from across the eastern Mediterranean, and the Middle East were lost. No more was there trade, of items, like copper, until centuries later. The only surviving civilization out of nine others, was Egypt that managed to win two Pyrrhic victories against the sea peoples. This is what caused the downfall of the Egyptian civilization overtime.
I think it very well could have been a large naval confederation of Italics from Sardinia, Sicily, and Etruria, as well as, the Philistines, various other Greeks, and Anatolians.
