Around 1200 BCE, the great civilizations of the Bronze Age suddenly collapsed. The Hittite Empire vanished. The Mycenaean palaces fell. Egypt barely survived wave after wave of mysterious maritime invaders known only as the Sea Peoples.
Their identity has long baffled historians. They left no written language of their own—only the ruins they caused and the names given to them by those who resisted. But in the Netist view, their story may be far older than the history books allow.
The Sea People were not simply raiders.
They were displaced survivors.
After the global cataclysms that ended the previous cycle, entire coastlines and island regions would have been swallowed or shattered. Those who escaped did what all people do after disaster: they migrated by boat, in search of land, food, and survival.
These weren’t barbaric outsiders. They were remnants of once-thriving civilizations, likely with knowledge, rituals, and traditions passed down from a pre-cataclysmic age. As they moved, they collided with the fragile empires that had risen in the chaos.
Some Sea Peoples may have descended from the survivors of Atlantean, Aegean, or Anatolian cultures. Others may have carried even older traditions from lost islands and submerged coastlines. Their arrival marks a flashpoint in the larger rhythm of civilizational reset and inheritance.
Were the Sea Peoples forgotten descendants of an earlier golden age?
