    Weshesh, one of the groups Ramesses III said he defeated when the Sea Peoples attacked Egypt. As far as I know, though, they're one of the groups that we have basically no other mentions or evidence of, so we have no idea who they were

      Maybe the earliest example of, "You should see the other guy!"

      There’s one meaning I know of “weshwesh” and it’s definitively pretty racist source: am French and also Arab

  Is there a word for something that’s not racist but feels racist?

  Brigands and thief (both from around 1400) stand out from this list as a little too modern

  I’m not your friend… you brigand.

      Never go against a Shekelesh when life is on the line.

    If your reasons for hating an ai genned image are anything other than it not being very good, you are wrong

    It looks like it's supposed to be more greek, since the romans weren't known for fighting naked, whereas we think 'greek' and we think shirtless. Also romans weren't involved in egypt in any serious way till much later. Whereas the 'sea peoples' seem to come from roughly the sphere of mycenean influence, even if they don't all seem 'greek'.

  The Mycenian Greeks probably wrestled control of Crete from the Minoans ~300 before the late bronze age collapse of greek and hittite power.

  Cultural elements and settlements of these "Eteocretans" remained, I don't think the Minoans were in any place to halt anything at that point. During the period we call collapse they seem to have been doing a lot of fleeing into the mountains.

    Man how fucking wild would it be if we suddenly just found a super isolated village of Minoans like those Cappadocian greeks that only recently re-established contact with society because of how remote they were

  I recognize the Sea Peoples. I have an article open on my phone with new research on them that I need to go back and read. I’m really good at opening links to things I want to read later and then letting them accumulate.
