Sea Peoples
The Etruscans or Tyrrhenians may have been one of the sea peoples of the 14th–13th century BC, if Massimo Pallottino's assimilation of the "Teresh" of Egyptian inscriptions with "Tyrrhenoi" is correct. There is no further evidence to connect the Sea Peoples to the Etruscans: the Etruscan autonym "Rasna", does not lend itself to the Tyrrhenian derivation.
