Docyabut,

An inscription of Ramesses II relates in the 8th year of his reign (which is dated c. 1176 BC)

1176 BC would be the eigth year of the reign of Ramesses III, who ruled ca. 1184-1153 BC, not Ramesses II, who ruled ca. 1279-1213 BC.

I don't doubt that the Sea Peoples tribes had been active prior to 1200 BC, but they were active in Anatolia attempting to shrug off the rule of the Hittites.

I'm not sure where you got your info on this one, but the Philistines were not mercenaries in the army of Ramesses II, nor were the Sherden and Lukka. The Sherden did become mercenaries in the army of Ramesses II after their capture in the battle of Kadesh/Qadesh, but prior to their capture they were allied with the Hittites. The Peleset were unknown until the attempted allied invasion during the reign of Merenptah, who ruled from 1213-1203 BC.

In fact, Ramesses II had earlier been forced to defend himself against attempts by the Sherden to establish a chain of efforts to the west of Egypt.

Where are you getting this?

Warm Regards,

P.S. the Libu, or Libyans, had existed as Egypt's western neighbors for countless millenia. In fact, there's now a great deal of evidence to suggest that the early Egyptians borrowed some of their funerary and religious beliefs/customs from their Libyan neighbors.
