Those who reached my boundary,

Their heart and their soul are finished forever and ever,

As for those that had assembled before them on the sea,

The full flame was their front before the harbor mouth

And a wall of metal upon the shore surrounded them

They were dragged, overturned and laid to low upon the beach

Slain and made heaps from stern to bow of their galleys while all their things were cast upon the water

Thus, I turned back the waters to remember egypt and when they even mention my name in their land, may it consume them in fear!

Ramses III

My theory is they were Mesoamericans making a Sunset-Invasion-style journey to the old world
