World History Assoc conference, Sanford Holst infers that there was an "arrangement" btwn the Sea Peoples & Phoenicians which left Phoenician lands untouched. Excavations show no immediate disruption to Phoenician layers. All other Levant areas evidence destruction from "Notherner's invasion." This "de facto" treaty allowed the PHN to expand maritime trade free from Egyptian and Athenian incursions and wheat-barley competition. Lebanese are direct descendants of the Phoenicians based on DNA.
@12:52 on the timeline, there is a statement that some scholars believe that the Sea Peoples mixed with Canaanites to create a "new peoples, the Phoenicians." We have hard archaeological evidence that the Phoenicia included Lebanon, Northern Israel and Southern Syria and EXISTED at the time that the tribal confederacy of "Sea Peoples" attacked from Central & Southern Europe Black Sea region & Western & Northern Anatolia. The Sea Peoples left "all" Phoenician colonies untouched in their attacks.
I love Historians and scientist they look for truth not Political Lies or Supremacy
