Egyptian Raids and Settlement
They were raiders associated with the Eastern Mediterranean Dark Ages who attacked Egypt in 1207 B.C. in alliance with the Libyans and other Sea Peoples, as well as during the reign of Rameses III. The 20th Egyptian Dynasty allowed them to settle in Canaan, which was largely controlled by the Sea Peoples into the 11th century B.C. Mercenaries from the Peleset manned the Egyptian garrison at Beth-shan, and the Denyen shared the same fashion as them which some archeology suggests signifies a shared cemetery there.

“What greater light can be hoped for in the moral sciences?

—John Locke (1632–1704)
“Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The difficult and risky task of meeting and mastering the new—whether it be the settlement of new lands or the initiation of new ways of life—is not undertaken by the vanguard of society but by its rear. It is the misfits, failures, fugitives, outcasts and their like who are among the first to grapple with the new.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
