Sea Peoples - Uminotami (English spelling)

Japanese: 海の民 - うみのたみ(英語表記)Sea Peoples
Sea Peoples - Uminotami (English spelling)
A general term for the tribes that caused widespread chaos by fiercely attacking countries and cities in the eastern Mediterranean, including the Nile Delta of Egypt, Anatolia, Syria, and Palestine, from both land and sea from the 13th century BCE to the beginning of the 12th century BCE. This is said to be the reason for the complete lack of records from the Near East during this period. It is said that this caused the Hittite Empire to decline, and Egypt was attacked during the reigns of Merneptah and Ramses III. Some of the Bronze Age Greeks, navigators and pirates from Anatolia who were the ancestors of the Etruscans, tribes on the west coast of Anatolia, tribes on Sardinia, the Sicilians of Sicily, and the Philistines of the Bible, who are thought to have come from Crete, are said to be a branch of these "Sea Peoples."

前 13世紀から前 12世紀の初めにかけて,エジプトのナイルデルタ地帯をはじめ,アナトリア,シリア,パレスチナなど東地中海の諸国家および都市を海陸両面から激しく攻撃して,広く混乱を引起した諸種族の総称。この時期の近東の記録がまったく欠如しているのはそのためだという。ヒッタイト帝国もこれによって国力が衰退したといわれ,エジプトはメルネプタハとラムセス3世の時代に攻撃を受けている。銅器時代のギリシア人の一部,エトルリア人の祖先でアナトリアからの航海者や海賊,アナトリア西岸地方の部族,サルジニア島の部族,シチリア島のシクリ人などのほか,クレタ島出身とおぼしき聖書のペリシテ人もこの「海の民」の一分派といわれる。
