Millions of Syrians and other Muslim invaders of Western Europe will change the world for the bad. Some of the smaller nations have been overcome to the extent Sharia law is now in effect. The invasion has been compared to the flood of refugees following World War II, .but I think it is more similar to the invasion by the Sea people some 25 hundred years ago.
Who were these people and where did they come from? Some came from what is now Greece, others from Crete, but from anywhere in Europe. They came by ship, in wagons with solid wheels and horseback. They attacked and destroyed the powerful Hittite civilization. Ox wagons, drawn by hump backed oxen, piled high with household utensils and furniture, accompanied by women and children, made their steady advance. In front marched masses of armed men.
A fleet arrived off Cyprus and occupied the island. By land the trek continued on into northern Syria, reached Carchemish on the Euphrates and moved on up the valley of the Orontes. The rich seaports of the Phoenicians fell before them. On and on rolled this avalanche by land and sea.
Ramesses III prepared feverishly for battle and called for a mobilization of his men and ships. He won a battle of significance in world history. The enemy land forces were annihilated.
Tribes who were part of the Sea Peoples include Denyen, Ekwesh, Sharden, Weshesh, TJerer, and the Peleseset, believed to be Philistines.
