A mysterious coalition of raiders showed up to wreck the entire eastern Mediterranean and we STILL don't know exactly who they were
The Sea Peoples were basically a multi-ethnic raiding coalition that attacked Egypt, the Hittites, and everyone in between. Ramesses III fought them off at the Battle of the Nile Delta around 1178 BCE and bragged about it on his temple walls at Medinet Habu. Some of them — likely the Peleset — settled the coast of Canaan and became the Philistines. No cap, these guys changed the entire map.
