Reply to comment by perestroika12 in Conflict in Central Europe leading to Bronze Age Collapse by Gideonn1021

Or worse, the Sicilians...

Thank you though I saw it was said that the sea people may have just straight up been propoganda from Ramses II? You also make a good point that the Europeans would not have developed the advancements in sailing needed that would thrive in open water, much less as a formidable raiding force

Propaganda only works if there’s truth hidden somewhere. It’s unlikely it was completely made up. It’s also not worth putting on a temple unless it’s somewhat agreed that these people were a serious threat.

Imagine Trajan making a column and it’s just 90% bs. Would not fly.

That is a good point, especially in a temple I imagine lying about someone's deeds there would be unacceptable, unfortunately sifting through the simple truth and the whole truth of the matter is the difficult part!
