Sea-People and Proto-Viking Ships
coming from the North?
Hypothesis :Two points taken for ´true´:
1) Northern Post-Magdalénean were technically capable to build sewn
plank-boats
2) In the 3th millennium B.C Megalithic tombs became provable in
Palestine and blond *tamahu* in Egypt.
3) blond originated " only" in the isolated North
Thereby for biological and technical reasonsNeolithic Northernes could have reached ´easily the Mediterranean
going by boat downward the European rivers

in the Neolithic a crew coming from the Western Baltic Sea had to
carry a riverboat along a small distance over land to reach within
one summer the Aegean, Troy (?) , Egypt, ´Palaestine- Mesopotamia and
the Black Sea.

Conceivable, that so called ´Sea-People´ invaded eastern Anatolia, Syria,
Palestine, Cyprus and Egypt toward the end of the Bronze Age, especially
in the 13th -12th century B.C. The Sea People are held responsible for the destruction of old powers such as the Hittite Empire.The origin of the Sea
People, and particularly Philistines, is one of the mysteries of the BronzeAge. (Spanuth argues that a cosmic catastrophy forced the Northerners to leave
their country. (Phaethon, Edda, Ragnaroek and Fimbulwinter)Because of the abrupt break in ancient Near Eastern records - as a result of

biology may give a new reference. If it is true that people with red hair
originated in the isolated North then the following might be of interest:
"On certain sculptural reliefs (Medinet Habu), some of the original painted
color still remains. From the color, it is evident that the Libu were
fair-skinned, blue eyed, and blond or red headed. ecause of this supposed "European" look, it has been suggested that these people were invaders
of European origin. Whatever their origin, such people may have been in
the region since the distant past" (Robbin)
*distant past*: since the appearance of the Tamahu ?)
Beside biology, technical references also point to the North
This temple was carved with religious scenes and portrayals of Ramses'
wars against the Libyans and the Sea People attacking Ramses III. At the

The attack method of the ´Egyptians´.(Spanuth) A hook was thrown into the
rigging of the opponent to overturne their boat.

From technical view: During a period of 4000 years the clinker boats of the Northerners remained for technical reasons constant in form.
The boats of the Egyptians, Sea-People, Phoenician and Vikings are
comparable in construction, length and typical form
