Oh my all time favorite mystery, I remember my world history professor glossing over them being like "and the sea people destroyed these empires, destroyed the populations and then disappeared never to be seen or heard from again...now moving on." And I was like "wait, what??"
@igorlokotar9467 well they're obviously the descendants of the Nephilim that escaped the flood in the Bible and waged a campaign of violence against the human race causing the bronze age collapse and now rule the new world from the shadows. Thats why every world power has had the greatest navel power because they're in actuality puppets of The Sea Peoples!!! Jk lol my friends and I made up a fake conspiracy theory around them awhile back for fun
@MCsCreations yeah and we barely touched on it, its pretty interesting. I like Simons thought that they were bands of people retaliating against the problems of the day. It explains why they didnt conquer and set up shop
As a linguist, your observation about Duolingo mostly making people good at Duolingo rather than language is indeed one of the biggest criticisms of their program.
@@garafanvou6586 There are myriad ways of classroom instruction and arguably there is no "average" language learner. K-12 language classes, for example, do not have the same objectives as a university course, and so the generalization of what American language classrooms are like does not hold. It is entirely possible for a classroom to eclipse Duolingo, especially since there are whole categories of skill that the app barely touches on.
The ultimate test is a face to face conversation to hone in on the language. But it’s better to watch TV programs/movies and learn the dialect of your learning language as you memorize the words and sentence structures offered.
One of my history professors showed the class a relief of a battle with the Sea Peoples and told us, "we don't know who they were or where they came from or where they went, but thanks to the Egyptians we know what hats they wore."
04:26 Tangent side rant on Alexander's empire - As far as land area compared to the rest of the world sure, but when the world's population is only 6-7 million (compared to eight billion currently) there was a hell of a lot empty land and he was taking over the most prosperous occupied parts.
Rameses III was totally unrelated to Ramses II (XX Dynasty vs. XIX Dynasty) and was only the second of his line (in your words, a 1st-gen nepo baby). Rameses II was the grandchild of Rameses I, third of his Dynasty and, most likely given that closeness to the start, his parents were not siblings; he reigned for 66 years (quite long) and is remembered as the greatest pharaoh due to the length of his reign, the extent of his conquests and a knack for PR (he never lost a battle because he said so, for example; he was indeed a nepo baby, but a truly skilled one).
Rameses III also took power during a very messy time period after Merneptah's death where he and three of his siblings played musical chair with the Pharaoh's throne.
@@pantherdddjvdgx The writer uses both "Canaan" and "Palestine", both ancient names of regions that included mostly (but not exactly) the same lands. Canaan was the land of the Canaanites, while Palestine (or Peleset in Egyptian) was the land of the Philistines, which the video indicates were mostly the same region. It does fit, since Canaan is the ancient name and was used by the writer mostly for the time before the fall, while Palestine (or equivalent) was a name given during the XX Dynasty, of which Rameses III was its second pharaoh, and was given after the settling by the Philistines, circa 1150 BCE, i.e. the tail end of the Bronze Age Collapse (which fits with the context it was used in).
This is one of those fascinating historical mysteries where theories have gone from the people of Atlantis, to ancestors of the Vikings, to random migratory groups of people around the Mediterranean. Love the topic and enjoyed the video.

Danes and Norwegians raided France by sea in waves, for years. Fighting them was really expensive, even when the King of France won. Eventually he realized it was cheaper and better to buy them off with a little money and a lot of newly emptied land on the coast. In exchange they had to swear loyalty, pay taxes and defend the coastline from their Kinsmen. As you know they became the Normans and conquered England. It would make sense that both Ramsey's the 2nd and 3rd had the same problem, with numerous groups from the Northern Mediterranean.

@thelordofcringe Not just that, but there is a difference between what was spoken by the people of Rome and the Latin we have today. There is Eugulistic Latin. That is Latin used specifically for the Catholic Church. Think proper English vs slang or what is spoken by the people. What we have in writing and what is still spoken is the Eugulistic Latin. Even some of the constantant sounds are different. Particularly hards and soft C. Hard vs soft V. Stuff like that. (For pronunciation)Think Vulpes Inculta vs Wulpes Insulta. Spoken Latin softened a lot of the constantants. V pronounced as W. C pronounced as S. Stuff like that.
Love it! As much as I love the cryptid and conspiracy episodes having one grounded in history is great! (I do wonder though if there's an aliens explanation too because there always seems to be lol)
Was actually just watching “fall of civilizations” video on the collapse of the Bronze Age which is the event we’re talking about. Great video and well worth a watch if this sort of thing interests you. Note it is episode 2, but make sure you get the newer version which has video to go along with the audio
the best explanation I found was that through trade, some islands producing copper were relying on food from the main land. when drought hit, food stopped coming, so they went for the food. The story would have spread fast and motivated others, making it impossible to say who raided whom.
I don't believe in conspiracy theories but it would be pretty funny if Simon came around on the crazy theories just like he did on the death penalty on casual criminalist😂
I love Simon's quandary over the Sea Peoples early on. "I have a feeling we're not going to find out." This peripheral commentary on the rhetoric of the script is the special spice of these episodes.
Assuming you grew up in the UK, if you studied Ancient Greek history in University or a good Public School, you would have learned about Thucydides in your studies. You were probably in your teens or early 20's. His name sounds different than it reads. You had me dying hear you try to say his name. This is awesome by the way!!!
I love this particular topic and always love it when it's their time to pop up in the history lecture series I like to listen to. If I've learned anything, the more sure someone is about who they were, the less you should trust them.
Suggestions for video 1. What was the land of Punt, Egypt's greatest trade partner? 2. Did Thylacines really go extinct when we believe they did, or was it much later, or are they possibly still alive?
I wish we knew more about the place they came from because they are so reminiscent of the Viking raids that came much later. And as we know raiding was just a profession for them but the home life for those Vikings is what truly showed their culture.
Interesting little pre-history lesson there. Duo-Ligwo? :) To learn Czech I went to a pub where I couldn't speak English - do that - you will also get pretty drunk.

Simon is the perfect example of "you don't know what you have until it's gone" How many views do the channels he quit, some of our old favorites, get now? 20k in a week? And here we are on his new channels (hopefully earning him more direct money) with his videos having 5, 10, 25 thousand views in an hour or so.
Yes, I followed Geographics and Biographics and would just watch, because even if I didn't care too much for the topic, it was easily digestible info in a decent format. Usually learned something, but Simon is a good host, and that sadly hasn't been replaced. Who knows what went on on that side of things, but it's a shame those channels ended up dying.
Tbf his 11 current channels (that I know of anyway) all are doing well, and how he has the time and manages to have enough content for them is impressive, never mind if he still did any previous channels (5 that I know of)! AmIRightPeter?!
How about a Decoding The Unknown on the man in the iron mask. Who was he? How true is his story? It's a great historical mystery. Those are my favorites.
14:01 Depends on the Pharoah, but most actually actively participated in their battles and conquests. It was expected of them as Pharoah of Egypt and as a God. Rameses II was one of Egypt's greatest conquerors and was often on the campaign trail. Thutmose III was a great conqueror and is known as the Napoleon of Egypt. Though I'd argue that Napoleon should have been known as the Thutmose of France given Thutmose existed millenia before Napoleon, but I digress. Thutmose III was responsible for spreading ancient Egypt's borders to their furthest extent. And yes, he was in the campaign trail.
I was enrolled in a college course on geo-political issues and the fall of societies. One example we covered was these events of the collapse of the Bronze Age.

According to my DNA these people were probably my ancestors. I’m from the islands of the Mediterranean mixed with Anatolian. It was cool reading about my specific island being a pirate island recently. And hearing this episode just adds to it. Very interesting.
Rameses III father was a usurper who took the throne by military force and only ruled 4 years before he died and Rameses III came to the throne. So he was probably in his father's army and probably did know a lot about fighting battles.
Definitely needed some more greatworks and exported board game figurines, stone cuts and assembly lines, and sounds like possibly a few norse mixed in with the sea people vikings and evil mushroom men. And as we say, guide the weary traveler to the rivers of the nile, and khufu's solar ship. Though some of the day labor jobs can lead to more permanent employment and pay a little more than a pittance, when I didn't have better things to do on my days off sometimes?
I've read a theory that it was the collapse of the empires and their trade routes that gave rise to the iron age. Copper is pretty common in the areas around the Mediterranean but tin (the other component of bronze) is much less common and was traded over vast distances. The theory goes that when people couldn't get tin, they had to turn to something more readily available. Iron wasn't unknown during the Bronze Age, but it is harder to smelt and in some respects is less durable than bronze, so its use was limited. When bronze was no longer an option, iron became the go-to metal. It does make sense, but I'm no scholar of ancient civilizations.
@1:18 - the aphorism, at least as I heard it, is "there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole." But, I think Simon might appreciate the quip from the (US) Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, who have said "atheists in foxholes" isn't so much an argument against atheism as it is an argument against foxholes.
I’ve been on a party bus that ended the same way as the sea people. Just woke up the next day with no memory, but with all the marks and bruises of complete mayhem. Perhaps it was ancient party ships that got out of control…

Broo i caught youre other video earlier today as well!! Lit lit 75th!!
According to my DNA these people were probably my ancestors. I’m from the islands of the Mediterranean mixed with Anatolian. It was cool reading about my specific island being a pirate island recently. And hearing this episode just adds to it. Very interesting.
Rameses III father was a usurper who took the throne by military force and only ruled 4 years before he died and Rameses III came to the throne. So he was probably in his father's army and probably did know a lot about fighting battles.
Wow Simon you are such a big brain 🧠 I hope you know how much sarcasm I am mentally broadcasting to this
Definitely needed some more greatworks and exported board game figurines, stone cuts and assembly lines, and sounds like possibly a few norse mixed in with the sea people vikings and evil mushroom men. And as we say, guide the weary traveler to the rivers of the nile, and khufu's solar ship. Though some of the day labor jobs can lead to more permanent employment and pay a little more than a pittance, when I didn't have better things to do on my days off sometimes?
I've read a theory that it was the collapse of the empires and their trade routes that gave rise to the iron age. Copper is pretty common in the areas around the Mediterranean but tin (the other component of bronze) is much less common and was traded over vast distances. The theory goes that when people couldn't get tin, they had to turn to something more readily available. Iron wasn't unknown during the Bronze Age, but it is harder to smelt and in some respects is less durable than bronze, so its use was limited. When bronze was no longer an option, iron became the go-to metal. It does make sense, but I'm no scholar of ancient civilizations.
This is the funniest version of the sea peoples I have ever heard!
@1:18 - the aphorism, at least as I heard it, is "there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole." But, I think Simon might appreciate the quip from the (US) Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, who have said "atheists in foxholes" isn't so much an argument against atheism as it is an argument against foxholes.
You guys should do a video about the Trojan War, and whether or not it actually could've happened.
“I hope civilization doesn’t collapse in my lifetime, that would be miserable” wonderful insight factboy
now THAT should be interesting!
Right on!! Love this one
22:53 -- Thucydides is pronounced "thu-sid-i-dese". Well-known and easily looked up.
I’ve been on a party bus that ended the same way as the sea people.
Just woke up the next day with no memory, but with all the marks and bruises of complete mayhem.
Perhaps it was ancient party ships that got out of control…
Simon you are entirely correct about Duolingo training you to solve Duolongo puzzles, and not doing much for practial language usage. Thanks for that!👍
24:40-26:35 That was a wild ride
That jab at hitchings is hilarious
