North-Central Italian Bronze Age invasion of South Italy and the Sea Peoples

Tuesday, I am expecting the arrival of the new edition to Eric Cline's book, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed. I am interested to see how he further corroborates recent genetic studies with the archeology. He was enthusiastic about it, on the Razib Khan podcast.

I agree with everyone there but they missed a lot of Greeks and Romans.

@Jovialis, I ordered it too. :) Hope it's worth it.

The mail service has failed their duty of delivering items in rain, sleet, or snow. So I guess we have to wait a bit longer, which is a bummer.
 
"Somewhat simplified, the Sea Peoples phenomenon is the term used to describe the supposed south-eastern migration of people from Italy during the Late Bronze Age. This development created a domino effect that led to further migration, which did not end until some groups reached Egypt and southern Levant, or today’s Israel, Jordan and Palestine.

‘This led to the downfall of several cultures, including the Mycenaean in Greece and the Hittite in Anatolia. Also Cyprus was affected and several towns were destroyed due to an invasion by other people, possibly including Hala Sultan Tekke. By using DNA analysis, we hope to be able to group the individuals buried in the graves. The most interesting thing would be to be able to show that some people came from Italy, which would support the hypothesis.’"
