What is Were the Sea Peoples Mycenaeans? The Evidence of Ship Iconography about?

Res Maritimae: Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean from Prehistory Through Late Antiquity. — Atlanta, Ga.: Scholars Press, 1997. — pp. 339-356. The origin of the Sea Peoples remains one of the most perplexing questions pertaining to the great migrations that marked the end of the Bronze Age. Little attention has been given, however, to the possible contribution of their seagoing ships in determining Sea Peoples’ origins. Study of the Medinet Hlabu naval battle scene reveals that the prototypical Sea Peoples’ ship depicted there was a galley that finds its closest parallels in contemporaneous Aegean (Mycenaean) ships. Additionally, the bird-head device capping the stems of the Medinet Habu ship depictions is similar to Aegean stem devices. The Medinet Habu ships are unique among twelfth century B.C.E. Mediterranean ship depictions, however, in having an additional bird-head device facing outboard from the sternpost. This makes them similar to the central European “bird-boat” (Vogelbarke), and suggests a more northern Origin for parts of the Sea Peoples’ coalition.
