Sea Peoples


A possibly important evidence for the correct match of Biblical chronology with Egyptian &/or Mesopotamian chronology may be whether we can find the Sea Peoples of the 19th and 20th dynasty in bibilcal history. If we can find a match for them then it would help confirm that Shishak is 19th dynasty not 22nd dynasty. I have surveyed the bible and made a list of possible matches for the Sea Peoples (see list below), and from my list the 3 or 4 most likely candidates are in the times of Asa, Jehoshaphat, the pre-prophetic period, and Uzziah/Azariah. I find it very interesting that one translation says "large crowd from the region of the sea" in Jehoshaphat's reign, which is a similar phrase to "Sea Peoples" or "Peoples of the Sea". This would make Ramses 3 roughly contemporary or near contemporary with Asa or Jehoshaphat or Uzziah/Azariah, and this fits well with Shishak in the 19th dynasty.

Possible candidate matches for the '(North) Sea Peoples' (Haunebut, Npiam/P3ym) of Merneptah & Ramses 3 in biblical history:

(Firstly note that the Sea Peoples may be linked with the Atlanteans, Phoenicians (Spanuth), Pelasgian Thalassocracy just after Trojan war (Rohl), Keftiou?)
