There isn’t consensus on who the sea people were.

You might be interested in the book “1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed” by Eric H. Cline, which covers what we know about the pre-collapse civilizations as well as the collapse itself. It’s very fascinating, though it seems a lot of the details are simply lost to time.
