Translated title:
The Ethnicity of the Sea Peoples
Summary:
My dissertation is a study of the ethnicity of the Sea Peoples, including four parts . The first chapter, the eponyms and their origins, provides geographical-related information. In the second chapter, Hittite, Ugaritic and Egyptian source, provide the contemporary outsiders' views on the same topic. And in the third chapter, their ships and other techniques, reflects to some extent self-interpretation of the Sea Peoples because the vessels and the relevant accessories were the direct mediums of their ethnic characters. In the final chapter, regional connections would be discussed. Especially, the connections to Italy, Mycenaean Greece, Cyrus and Crete through Philistine cultural traits.
In conclusion, the Sea Peoples were diasporic human gatherings. Referring to an analogy of slime mould , tiny fluid units and transmutative morphological entities featured their ethnic characters.
