Tjeker

The Tjekker or Tjeker were one of the Sea Peoples and are known mainly from the Story of Wenamun. The name tkr/skl has been transliterated variously as Tjekru, Tjekker, skl, Sikil, Djekker, etc. and they are thought to be the people who developed the port of Dor during the 12th century BCE from a small Bronze Age town to a large city. They are also documented at Medinet Habu as raiders defeated by Pharaoh Ramesses III of Egypt in years 5, 8 and 12 of his reign.
