IRON AGE : Start of the Trojan War > 
1200 BC Start of the Trojan War. Time of the Judges: Israel is a twelve-tribe confederation. 1175 BC The 'Sea Peoples' were moving out of the Aegean and Anatolian regions as a result of years of drought and poor harvests. Rameses III, according to the traditional interpretation, defeated the Sea Peoples (including the Philistines) in northern Phoenicia (Lebanon), settled at least some of the captives in Egyptian strongholds along the southern coast of Palestine, and thereby tightened his control of the coastal Palestinian plain. In the short term the captives were probably treated as hostages against the threat of attack by their kinsmen. Eventually, they would have come to treat their strongholds as home and would then serve as the local mercenary force in support of Egyptian interests in Palestine. Eventually, of course, the Philistines turned themselves into an army of conquest and threw out their Egyptian masters.
