They were real enough. Far more real than your "Israelites."
I stated "theories" implying the theory that the Israelite nation arose from the Sea Peoples.
You really do this sort of thing a lot more than you should.
I never said anything about the "Israelites" arising from the Sea Peoples. The idea is silly. We know where the groups which later became the "Israelites" arose and it was about as far from the sea as one could get and remain in "Palestine."
We also know they weren't slaves in Egypt since you seem to keep forgetting what you started.
