The historical narrative stems primarily from seven Ancient Egyptian sources [18] and although in these inscriptions the designation "of the sea" does not appear in relation to all of these peoples, [15] [17] the term "Sea Peoples" is commonly used in modern publications to refer to the following nine peoples.
Sea Peoples is the term used in ancient Egyptian records of a 'race' or legion of ship-faring raiders who drifted into the eastern shores of the Mediterranean and attempted to enter Egyptian territory during the late 19th dynasty (1293-1185 BC).
The Tjeker are perhaps one of the few Sea Peoples for whom a ruler's name is recorded — in the 11th-century papyrus account of Wenamun, an Egyptian priest, the ruler of Dor is given as "Beder". According to Edward Lipinski , [ 8 ] the Sicals (Tjekker) of Dor were seamen or mercenaries, and b3-dỉ-r (Beder) was the title of the local governor ...
The Peleset (Egyptian: pwrꜣsꜣtj) or Pulasati are a people appearing in fragmentary historical and iconographic records in ancient Egyptian from the Eastern Mediterranean in the late 2nd millennium BCE. They are hypothesised to have been one of the several ethnic groups of which the invading Sea Peoples were said to be composed
The Sherden in battle as depicted at Medinet Habu.

The Denyen (Egyptian: dꜣjnjnjw) is purported to be one of the groups constituting the Sea Peoples. They were raiders associated with the Eastern Mediterranean Dark Ages who attacked Egypt in 1207 BC in alliance with the Libyans and other Sea Peoples, as well as during the reign of Ramesses III. [2]
Being so sparsely attested to, the identification of the Weshesh with any number of other peoples is more contested in comparison to other Sea People groups. In 1872, François Chabas identified the Weshesh with the Oscians, a South Italic people, based on the phonological similarities between the two peoples' names. [3]
The Shekelesh (Egyptian language: šꜣkrwšꜣꜣ or šꜣꜣkrwšꜣꜣ) [1] were one of the several ethnic groups the Sea Peoples were said to be composed of, appearing in fragmentary historical and iconographic records in ancient Egyptian from the Eastern Mediterranean in the late 2nd millennium BC.
