In addition to Ugarit,
Hattusa and Mycenae archaeological
evidence suggests that almost every significant city in
the Eastern Mediterranean world was violently attacked and burnt before being abandoned within
a short period around 1200 BC. But the cities have left no answers
as to who the Sea People were where they came from, or how they were able
to attack powerful empires that were miles
away from the sea. Is there a clue in the fact
that they all fell together, one after another,
like dominoes?
