Who Were the Sea Peoples?

"Tutte le stelle già dell' altro polo Vedea la notte, e il nostro tanto basso Che non surgeva fuor del marin suolo." -- Dante, La Divina Commedia , Canto XXVI   So, in the early 1300s, Dante not only knew the earth was a sphere, he also realized that this meant that someone sailing south would see new stars, and the the North Pole Star would become lower and lower in the sky.
