Which of the following claims does Prof. DeVore make in his videos on "Egypt Eastern
Mediterranean" and "1180 Collapse"?
• Mycenaean Greeks kept to themselves rather than trading with their Mediterranean neighbors, as we can
tell from evidence such as their very unique script, Linear B, that tells us about their prejudice against
foreigners.
• Ramses III tells of his war against the numerous Sea Peoples, who may have been Hittites or Greeks,
entering Egypt via ship in the inscription at Medinet Habu, and after about 1180 or so Egypt was unable to
project power consistently northward into Syria.
O Mycenaean Greek crafts such as pottery and weapons blades became more elaborate and sophisticated
after 1180, when the oppressive Mycenaean palace system collapsed.
O The Hittites were a warrior people who had developed cities but no sophisticated art.
O The people of Kerma produced their prized building, the defuffa, but no other important monumental
architecture or prized crafts.
