Pirates of the Bronze Age Mediterranean raided ships and settlements throughout the era but especially during the period of the Late Bronze Age Collapse. In fact, the mysterious Sea Peoples who invaded and raided the civilizations of the Near East were themselves pirates based on the islands of the eastern Mediterranean. These pirates also raided the tombs of more ancient peoples around the Mediterranean and took the wealth within back to their bases in the Aegean, the Adriatic and even further afield. *If you enjoy my videos please consider supporting the channel* Patreon ➜ https://www.patreon.com/dandavisauthor PayPal ➜ https://paypal.me/DanDavisAuthor Ko-fi ➜ https://ko-fi.com/dandavis *My Books* Godborn: Gods of Bronze 1 ➜ https://amzn.to/3nm2au1 All my books on Amazon ➜ https://amzn.to/3xngwz5 *My Links* Website http://dandavisauthor.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dandavisauthor/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanDavisWrites Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dandavisauthor/ *Video Sources* Of Odysseys and Oddities- Ed. by Barry Molloy ➜ https://amzn.to/3H5NsjQ Warfare in Bronze Age Society - Ed. by C.
