The Ships of the Sea Peoples — Part 2

<p>In this entry I will be taking an important step into bringing the reader closer to understanding the designs of ships used not just by the mysterious &ldquo;Sea Peoples&rdquo; but also by those better known to us as the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Minoans</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycenaean_Greece" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mycenaeans</a>&nbsp;and similarly to an extent the Egyptians in an attempt to clarify how such vessels may have looked and have been used by virtue of their obvious design, since it is the design of a ship and how it sits and moves in the water that dictates how it can be used.</p> <p>I will also attempt show how the design of the ships of the &ldquo;Sea Peoples&rdquo; has far more in common with those of the Minoan &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycenaean_Greek" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mycenaean</a>&nbsp;world than say Levantine or Egyptian vessels which are an all together different design with secondary military function rather than those of the Mycenaeans whose primary function was to serve as a swift and fast moving attack vessels.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-bronze-age/the-ships-of-the-sea-peoples-part-2-2bed75f8e05c"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
