About Tiras

Tiras is, according to the Book of Genesis and 1 Chronicles, the seventh and youngest son of Japheth in the Hebrew Bible. A brother of biblical Javan, its geographical locale is sometimes associated by scholars with the Teresh or Tursha, one of the groups which made up the Sea Peoples, a naval confederacy which terrorized Egypt and other Mediterranean nations around 1200 BCE. These Sea People are referred to as "Tursha" in an inscription of Ramesses III, and as "Teresh of the Sea" on the Merneptah Stele. The equation of the Teresh/Tursha with the Tyrrhenians, and by extension with the Etruscans, is not accepted by modern scholarship; there is no archaeological or linguistic evidence of any migration of a Tyrrhenians people into central Italy from the Aegean or Anatolia, and genetic studies of Iron Age individuals from Etruria have found no evidence of recent population movement from Anatolia, confirming a local autochthonous origin for the Etruscans. French scholar Dominique Briquel noted that, even if these stories include historical facts suggesting contact, such contact is more plausibly traceable to cultural exchange than to migration.
