The implication of the Egyptian inscriptions at Medinet Habu is that all the confederated peoples – Peleset, Tjekker, Shekelesh, Denyen and Weshesh – were represented at the land battle, but in appearance the warriors depicted in the reliefs are (except for some specific details) noticeably homogeneous; for instance, all wear the ‘feathered tiara’ headdress, and none the distinctive horned helmet. Since the Egyptians were normally fairly careful in recording such details, we may infer that this representation is close to reality, and thus that the coalition of Sea People warriors present on this occasion displayed common costume and weaponry and perhaps shared a similar material culture.
