| - The Sea Peoples is the name of a mysterious, unknown group of raiders that are known to launch sudden, destructive, and efficient attacks on Marine ships, merchant vessels, pirates, and islands, usually without warning. Actions have been called out to hunt down and capture the group, but none have been able to track them.
- The Sea Peoples, or Peoples of the Sea, were a confederacy of seafaring raiders of the second millennium BCE who sailed into the eastern Mediterranean, caused political unrest, and attempted to enter or control Egyptian territory during the late 19th dynasty and especially during year 8 of Ramesses III of the 20th Dynasty. The Egyptian Pharaoh Merneptah explicitly refers to them by the term "the foreign-countries (or 'peoples') of the sea" (Egyptian n3 ḫ3s.wt n<.t> p3 ym) in his Great Karnak Inscription. Although some scholars believe that they invaded Cyprus, Hatti and the Levant, this hypothesis is disputed.
