During the migration of the sea tribes, which were the cause of the collapse of the Hittite Empire, some of the migrants migrated to this region are mentioned in Greek mythology. After the Trojan Wars, some Aka tribes came to Pamphylia under the direction of Amphilokhos, Kalkhas and Mopsos; Perge, Sillyon, Aspendos and Selge have been said to have established the latest scientific data, but the local people of these cities show that the city has established. This is also evident from Perge's Parha, Aspendos Estvedus, Selge's Estlegiis, Silyon's Selyuus.
In the 7th century BC, before the Pamphylians settled in the area, the ancient Greek sources say that the Rhodians and the Dorites colonized the region of Kumluca and Phaselis (Cirali). The city of Rhodiopolis near Kumluca is a proof of this.
The province of Antalya includes the southeastern tip of western Pamphylia and eastern Lycia from ancient sites in history.
Although the origins of the Lycians settled in the western borders of modern Antalya are discussed, the sources of Hittite and Ancient Egypt (2000 BC) refer to a people named Lukki or Lukka. This tribe is a strong possibility to be known as the Lycian nation with its strong neighbors to the Luvids.
Pamfilya region, which has many discussions about where the boundaries are, is located in today's Antalya. The meaning of the word ism The country where people from all peoples live, in the meaning of the country of the race in Pamphylia is thought to live together in many peoples because of the name. A prophecy written in the city of Syedra states that millet you Syedra Pamfulians who live in the country of mixed nations bir Sy; this inscription gives information about the social structure of the city.
According to comparative linguistics methods, the Pamphylians have formed one of the oldest Hellenistic groups in Anatolia. In their language, some of the language features of Mukens and Dorians are found. Therefore, it is accepted that they migrated to Anatolia in the first millennium BC. These were intertwined with the people they encountered in Anatolia and were influenced by their faith and various cultural characteristics.
