Isn't there only one period recording of the so called sea people?

They’re attested between the 14th and 12th centuries BCE, which is a fairly broad span of time.

But still from what I understand there's only one time "sea people" were mentioned in known Egyptian texts and other sources are just cobbled together and could be referencing any number of pirates or sea faring civilizations.
