Around 1200 BCE, the interconnected world of the Late Bronze Age unraveled in a matter of decades. Hittite records go silent, Mycenaean palaces burn, and Egyptian inscriptions at Medinet Habu describe Ramesses III fighting off a coalition of seaborne raiders known only as the Sea Peoples. This film walks through the evidence for who these invaders might have been, drawing on temple reliefs, diplomatic letters from Ugarit warning of enemy ships offshore, and the archaeological record of abandoned cities across the eastern Mediterranean. It lays out the competing explanations historians have proposed, from mass migration and famine to systemic economic collapse among kingdoms that depended on each other for grain, copper, and tin. The identity of the Sea Peoples remains unresolved even in Egypt's own records, and the film treats that uncertainty honestly rather than forcing a tidy answer. What emerges is a picture of a genuinely globalized ancient world and how quickly it came apart when its supply lines and alliances failed at once.
