By both land and sea, as well as conquering land as they traveled south towards Egypt. It's specifically said that they made a camp in the land of Amurru. The Medinet Habu reliefs of Rameses III specifically show women and children in ox carts, but also depict battles against Sea Peoples in boats and also from land. Also, "Sea Peoples" is a modern term. Rameses said that "the foreign countries made a conspiracy in their islands". He also described a few of them as "of the sea". So "Sea Peoples" is a reasonable thing to call them. It was a migration of people that began in the Aegean, moving along the coasts and along the coastal sea routes south to Egypt.
Excellent narrative! Thanks. A point to consider: the book of Jeremiah considers the original homeland of the Philistines as the island of Caphtor. The Egyptian name for Crete was Kephtiu. It is not impossible to imagine the Philistines as the refugees of the violence - natural and man-made - of Crete around 1200 BCE.

Egyptian records mention that one of their rulers took an army into that area in 1208 BC and captured or destroyed most of the peoples there. If so, that would have left a mostly vacant area in which to settle any conquered sea people tribes. Since they were seafaring types, coastal cities would seem to be a good fit.

What an opportunity the old scholars had to name the Sea Peoples, “Sea Men” instead. I bet if they did so, every generation would’ve remembered them quite easily
If they, as foreign traders and potential invaders had been fully defeated and resettled under Egyptian military and judicial control they were highly unlikely to leave any evidence of disruption to the land having been subjugated by the Egyptians and forced to assimilate into Egyptian culture, which is a logical assumption of what may, more than likely, have occurred.

Considering where we are today, how storybook perfect is it that the name 'Palestine' comes from the name for the ancient nemesis of Israel? So if you were a high-class ancient from this region brought to our time and heard about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, you'd probably know a lot more about it than we'd expect you to.

@@user-McGiverThe Arabic language came much later. 'Arab' isn't an ethnic grouping, it's a linguistic grouping. Palestine dna results I've seen show 60-70% Phonecian origin. The end of the video mentions assimilation of the remaining ones that weren't taken to Babylon.
I find it extremely funny that the name Palestine is so closely related to Philistine. In that way it’s like the Israelites and the Philistines are still fighting.
It’s because the Roman’s took the name of the Philistines as joke to the Jews, they named the area after the Jews enemies to erase their connection to the land. Plishtim means invader in Hebrew after all, we don’t really know how they called themselves.
Zebub is a hebrew word meaning "fly" as in the insect. To attach it to another word is calling it dirty, something flies would be on. It's a hebrew insult.
@alfieingrouille1528 "Ba'al" just means "Lord". Many times, locals would just call one of their gods "Ba'al" (similarly, "Bel") without specifying any further, so "Ba'al" doesn't refer to one specific god. You could even call human rulers "ba'al", just like how we will call God "Lord", but we can also call human rulers "lord". The "zebub" part could indeed just be a Hebrew insult.
Another clue is in the story of Samson. He fell in love with a philistine girl who has blonde/reddish hair. That indicates that the Philistines had European connection.

I did some of my own research, and it appears that the Philistines could have likely been the Sea People who caused the collapse of the Bronze Age, and they may have originated from the Aegean Sea. When they attacked Egypt as Sea Peoples they were defeated then relocated to the land south of Canaan.
Nature cathastrophies, climate changes and the change of economy caused the bronze age collapse, the sea people where just a symptom of it. They were victims that due to the collapse was forced to migrate.

All Glory to God for having me connect the Philistines to the Mycenaeans down to my Messina Lineage. Get Messina Y dna and there you go, Philistines.

I have the same profile as the one next to him, but recently had my nose fixed because it was so broken.
It has been suggested that the Philistines were originally one of the Sea Peoples, the Peleset. It has also been suggested that the Tribe of Dan were originally among the Sea Peoples as well... the Danuna... perhaps before that a Greek tribe called the Danaans. Hmm... Samson (who bears a striking resemblance to Herakles) was a Danite!

Dan is Jewish. When Jewish people migrated from Egypt there was two ways. One followed Moises the other one followed Dan. His group migrated to Greece where they was welcomed by the Pelasgians. And they became the Greeks later on. Greeks and Jewish are connected. There was one Spartan king sending letters to the Jewish kingdom that they can really on their brothers. They even look the same.
Filistines was Greeks. The name " pentapolis" in Greek language mean " five cities". The number 5 in Greek is "pente" and the city is "polis". So Penta-polis " is five cities together. Greeks had also another pentapolis in "Anatolia" ( modern Turkey) . Is a common name in Greek history like Tripolis the capital of modern Libya.Tri - polis means three cities ( in one). Is because in Greek language Tria means three (3) and polis means city.Tri-polis like Penta-polis like Deca-polis ( Deca means 10 and polis means city so Ten cities) etc. Filistines was in the middle east before Israelites. Israelites attacked to them. First king of Israelites Saoul killed in a battle with Filistines ( and two of his sons).
Just started it but I already know they were unknown because they would t adapt or adopt other tribes way of life, leaving them academically in the dust. If you are someone who refuses to learn new things you are a phillistine
Not likely. The archaeology in Philistia that is normally associated with the Peleset looks like Mycenaean/Cypriot pottery. And in Hittite documents, Troy, as "Wilusa" (i.e. Ilios), is better attested than other Aegean coastal regions, and "Troy" isn't mentioned as part of Wilusa. Where Troy ("Taruisa") is mentioned in a Hittite document, Wilusa is also mentioned as a different location, so that in the Hittite era, at least, they appear to be different places. Trying to actually locate Taruisa, other than western Anatolia on/near the Aegean coast, is difficult due to the lack of sufficient documentation.
LOTS of supposition here. If a historian doesn't wish to use Biblical texts, where does he get the term Israelites from? The Egyptians knew 'sea peoples' and 'ibiru' - 'Israelite' is a Biblical construct.
So you mean to say the Israelites were the indigenous people there even before the Philistines? Or the fake Palestinians arab muslims? Oh No youre stating facts!
"Of course, the Bible is a religious text and as such, it can't be expected to report the enemies of the Israelites in an unbiased way." Oh. We'll just have to go to the unbiased source, which surely exists. Brilliant.
we have an unbiased source for history… it’s called archaeology. when we actually find the remains of a civilization like objects they owned, the remains of the people or the remains of their buildings we can learn things about them with relative certainty. for example if there was a civilization that was said to never use swords and we found swords belonging to people who were apart of that civilization we could say that the source was wrong because and they fought with swords because we’d have the archaeological evidence to prove it.
@@officialvatican There seems to be a misunderstanding here as to what bias is. You have five major senses, sundry other senses, and (arguably) a consciousness. These are the tools by which you experience reality. The translation from objective reality to what you sense of objective reality creates bias. It is inescapable and inexorable. What I make of an artifact from a millennia old civilization is useful but not unbiased. What I read from first hand accounts of that civilization is useful but not unbiased...and if we're weighing biases against one another, the first-hand bias is going to be much more useful than the contemporary one, though not to exclusion.

I'm not so sure the Philistines were made up of a "multicultural" group that underwent an ethnogenesis in the region. I think it far more likely that they were made up of a large core of Myceneans and picked up cultural influences in the region gradually. It seems that archaeological and anthropological theory is strongly affected by modern cultural views, especially Western ones. It seems to me that modern archaeology and anthropology does a great deal of projection of modern standards onto the past. I think the farther back in history we go, the more cultures were intolerant with one another. Yes, they may have been delighted to trade with one another, but when forced together, one tended to dominate and enslave the other or wipe it out entirely. Even "multicultural" empires like the Persian or Roman Empires were not really multicultural the way we experience that creation in the modern West. The evidence seems to show that these empires respected local cultures and did not try to change them via rapid, mass mixing beyond having them accept certain laws that enabled trade. Royal marriages were exchanged, but you didn't really see massive, rapid general population exchanges the way you see them in the modern West. There is no evidence that this style of mass migration and mixing ever occurred peacefully and plenty of evidence to show that it didn't and still doesn't. Even modern cultural mixing is causing vast conflict and unrest and is only possible with large authoritarian police and military forces. Conflict is attempted to be avoided by showering people with free wealth. Police forces and welfare structures did not exist in the past, beyond things like the Roman military, which was not intended to be a police force, but a force of military conquest. For that reason, I think it unlikely that large populations mixing ever took place peacefully, especially when resources and wealth were more limited. I do suppose that if a large group of temporarily cooperative males from different cultures, such as the Sea Peoples, were defeated, and their remnant population was sent to the region by the Pharaoh, and provided wives, then they may have seen fit to cooperate in building a colony because that was their best chance for survival. I can see some situation like this occurring as being very plausible.
When you include Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, and Maccabees 1&2 with the Bible, the early parts make much more sense. The Philistines had Fallen Angel/Nephilim bloodlines, hence Goliath of Gath and other giants. The Israelites were ordered to eliminate these peoples totally, likely because they had Fallen Angel bloodlines and because human sacrifice to their demon gods was common. We know that bloodlines were important because Genesis tells us "Noah was perfect in his generations", zero Fallen Angel genetics. If the Israelites had mixed with these bloodlines, the Messiah could not have been born of a pure Adamic, Davidic, human genetic line. I believe that all the books that characters in the Bible quoted from as valid scriptures should also be valid scriptures to us. If it was good enough for the Apostles and Prophets, it's good enough for me too.

@@AyaGumede you can read the first few pages and can already tell it’s going to be biased with the way it is worded and its premises so just be careful. I would recommend finding something that is not in any favor towards one political or religious point than the other and make an informed decision yourself. Reading some information of the author can also give you a pretty big hint. Right now there is a very heated war going on involving land dispute and the Abrahamic religions and rights to heritage so just remember that! 😅 I tried reading it and was excited to learn objective analysis over the history of the land and was sorely disappointed.
The Phoenicians were just an untouched region of Canaan that survived the Bronze Age Collapse intact (i.e. a direct continuation of Canaanite culture). The Philistines were a Sea People offshoot, with a ruling class governing a Canaanite majority. So the answer is sort of, but not exactly.
I think Philistines were of Greek origins. Through time, they intermingled and intermarried with newcomers to the land. Strong DNA was lost. The word Palestine does come from Philistine, yes.

I'm wondering what the se supposed epic battles really looked like. Was it only 300 barefoot sheepherders swinging clubs at each other on the side of some obscure town? Or was it really 100,000 bronze armour wearing warriors having a glorious battle? The Bible isn't unique in how it depicted its people and a lot more glorious light then was actually happening. If you look at the manuscripts from the late Roman empire, they depict Angels coming from heaven with flaming swords fighting on their behalf. By the time of the Early Roman empire, their civil wars were filled with hundreds of thousands of people fighting each other. My point is that the population ebbed and flowed and the battles scales would have reflected the populations.
The philistines were a non-semetic People who lived in the southern levant, Which is now modern day Israel For centuries: Their origin the philistines were originally from the mediterranean and arrived in Canaan around 1175BCE
The original Philistines - i.e. Peleset - were non-Semitic, but they quickly integrated with the local Semitic people. Their identifiably Aegean customs disappeared into the local Canaanite (i.e. Semitic) traditions.

@@user-McGiver Calm yourself. I specifically said "their identifiably Aegean customs". But, since you brought up the subject of archaeology, the archaeology shows an initial strong connection to the Aegean, and then an assimilation into local Canaanite traditions. When they settled there, they would have been significantly outnumbered by the local population that they controlled, and married and had sex with them. They integrated into the local Semitic culture. Semitic does not mean Arabic. Arabs are Semites, but not all Semites are Arabs. DNA analysis shows that the modern people of Palestine can be traced all the way back to the Middle Bronze Age - well before even the Peleset settled there. All caps sentences do not mean that the Peleset were the Pelasgians. You have to explain that transition from 't' --> 'g'. The etymology of "Pelasgoi" has not been settled. Your proposal is merely one of them. Not even their origins, ethnicity, or language family has been agreed upon, either by ancient or modern sources.

If so, that would have left a mostly vacant area in which to settle any conquered sea people tribes. Since they were seafaring types, coastal cities would seem to be a good fit.

If they, as foreign traders and potential invaders had been fully defeated and resettled under Egyptian military and judicial control they were highly unlikely to leave any evidence of disruption to the land having been subjugated by the Egyptians and forced to assimilate into Egyptian culture, which is a logical assumption of what may, more than likely, have occurred.

I find it fascinating that mercantilism has been around a loooong time ago...
I wonder who came up with how all of the crucial facets of an empire should be... And so early for a group of people to work together to be so successful and build grand cities?
Despite all of the bloodshed in the name of greed or necessity, history never ceases to amaze me...
As far as conventional history knows the first multi ethnic empire was established by Sargon of Akkad. Which if I'm remembering correctly was around 3,000BC or so.
@Hakar17 I would love to know all the secrets to the past, it is too bad there is nothing before the time of Sargon... Maybe it is a good thing?
@Ut1F70FSin I don't know that it can be good or bad maybe it just is,either way though i agree. I love history and have since I was a boy
@Hakar17 Yeah, this is where I fail in history: Emotion; "Good" and "Bad" et cetera... You are correct when you say it just is, or was.
Yearning for the knowledge, and sometimes when I do, I suppose this is where assumptions could be made or conjectured when I dont know and fail to research or when the evidence isn't there. I can only leave it to my own thoughts. I guess I carry my faith too loosely too, which I another reason why I fail to have faith in God, at times, without realizing.
I guess I will shut up now before I say something else that is really stupid. XD. Take care!

The Egyptians knew who the Achaeans were, but they did not identify those sea peoples as Achaeans. The Peleset must have been something else.
Another Aegean people perhaps
The Achaeans were the Ekwesh. The Pheleshet were probably Pelasgians, or Minoans. Or Sardinians who settled east, as the Israeli archaeologist Adam Zertal hypothesized. According to that hypothesis, a philistine is replying to your comment just right now.
Since you claim "they knew Achaeans" tell us then how did they call them.

Who were the giants with six fingers such as Goliath ?
Descendants of the Anakim who lived among the Philistines, they are called sons of the Giant “Rephaim”
Joshua 11:21 And at that time Joshua came and cut off the Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; 👉🏾they remained only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.👈🏾
1 Samuel 17:3 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them
4 And 👉🏾a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath,👈🏾 whose height was six cubits and a span.
2 Samuel 21:20 👉🏾Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant.👈🏾
21 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
22 👉🏾These four were born to the giant (REPHAIM) in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.👈🏾

I find it extremely funny that the name Palestine is so closely related to Philistine. In that way it’s like the Israelites and the Philistines are still fighting.
It’s because the Roman’s took the name of the Philistines as joke to the Jews, they named the area after the Jews enemies to erase their connection to the land.

@alfieingrouille1528 "Ba'al" just means "Lord".

Kind of a huge retarded leap. Red hair appears in almost every ethnic group, famously so in Arabs.

I did some of my own research, and it appears that the Philistines could have likely been the Sea People who caused the collapse of the Bronze Age, and they may have originated from the Aegean Sea.

Okay but they weren't brothers.
Dan is Jewish. When Jewish people migrated from Egypt there was two ways. One followed Moises the other one followed Dan. His group migrated to Greece where they was welcomed by the Pelasgians. And they became the Greeks later on. Greeks and Jewish are connected. There was one Spartan king sending letters to the Jewish kingdom that they can really on their brothers. They even look the same.
Filistines was Greeks. The name " pentapolis" in Greek language mean " five cities". The number 5 in Greek is "pente" and the city is "polis". So Penta-polis " is five cities together.
Greeks had also another pentapolis in "Anatolia" ( modern Turkey) . Is a common name in Greek history like Tripolis the capital of modern Libya.Tri - polis means three cities ( in one). Is because in Greek language Tria means three (3) and polis means city.Tri-polis like Penta-polis like Deca-polis ( Deca means 10 and polis means city so Ten cities) etc.
Filistines was in the middle east before Israelites. Israelites attacked to them. First king of Israelites Saoul killed in a battle with Filistines ( and two of his sons).

.
Some trace the culture of the Philistines to Troy. Just an interesting link
Not likely. The archaeology in Philistia that is normally associated with the Peleset looks like Mycenaean/Cypriot pottery. And in Hittite documents, Troy, as "Wilusa" (i.e. Ilios), is better attested than other Aegean coastal regions, and "Troy" isn't mentioned as part of Wilusa. Where Troy ("Taruisa") is mentioned in a Hittite document, Wilusa is also mentioned as a different location, so that in the Hittite era, at least, they appear to be different places. Trying to actually locate Taruisa, other than western Anatolia on/near the Aegean coast, is difficult due to the lack of sufficient documentation.

"Of course, the Bible is a religious text and as such, it can't be expected to report the enemies of the Israelites in an unbiased way." Oh. We'll just have to go to the unbiased source, which surely exists. Brilliant.
lol good one
we have an unbiased source for history… it’s called archaeology. when we actually find the remains of a civilization like objects they owned, the remains of the people or the remains of their buildings we can learn things about them with relative certainty. for example if there was a civilization that was said to never use swords and we found swords belonging to people who were apart of that civilization we could say that the source was wrong because and they fought with swords because we’d have the archaeological evidence to prove it.
@@officialvatican There seems to be a misunderstanding here as to what bias is. You have five major senses, sundry other senses, and (arguably) a consciousness. These are the tools by which you experience reality. The translation from objective reality to what you sense of objective reality creates bias. It is inescapable and inexorable. What I make of an artifact from a millennia old civilization is useful but not unbiased. What I read from first hand accounts of that civilization is useful but not unbiased...and if we're weighing biases against one another, the first-hand bias is going to be much more useful than the contemporary one, though not to exclusion.

And we all know that archaeologists never have personal biases when interpreting their findings, so their conclusions are absolute truth.😅
Hebrews were just Greek Arabs you can't prove me wrong
History: let’s see what Bible says…
I'm not so sure the Philistines were made up of a "multicultural" group that underwent an ethnogenesis in the region. I think it far more likely that they were made up of a large core of Myceneans and picked up cultural influences in the region gradually. It seems that archaeological and anthropological theory is strongly affected by modern cultural views, especially Western ones. It seems to me that modern archaeology and anthropology does a great deal of projection of modern standards onto the past. I think the farther back in history we go, the more cultures were intolerant with one another. Yes, they may have been delighted to trade with one another, but when forced together, one tended to dominate and enslave the other or wipe it out entirely. Even "multicultural" empires like the Persian or Roman Empires were not really multicultural the way we experience that creation in the modern West.
The evidence seems to show that these empires respected local cultures and did not try to change them via rapid, mass mixing beyond having them accept certain laws that enabled trade. Royal marriages were exchanged, but you didn't really see massive, rapid general population exchanges the way you see them in the modern West. There is no evidence that this style of mass migration and mixing ever occurred peacefully and plenty of evidence to show that it didn't and still doesn't. Even modern cultural mixing is causing vast conflict and unrest and is only possible with large authoritarian police and military forces. Conflict is attempted to be avoided by showering people with free wealth. Police forces and welfare structures did not exist in the past, beyond things like the Roman military, which was not intended to be a police force, but a force of military conquest. For that reason, I think it unlikely that large populations mixing ever took place peacefully, especially when resources and wealth were more limited.
I do suppose that if a large group of temporarily cooperative males from different cultures, such as the Sea Peoples, were defeated, and their remnant population was sent to the region by the Pharaoh, and provided wives, then they may have seen fit to cooperate in building a colony because that was their best chance for survival. I can see some situation like this occurring as being very plausible.
When you include Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, and Maccabees 1&2 with the Bible, the early parts make much more sense. The Philistines had Fallen Angel/Nephilim bloodlines, hence Goliath of Gath and other giants. The Israelites were ordered to eliminate these peoples totally, likely because they had Fallen Angel bloodlines and because human sacrifice to their demon gods was common. We know that bloodlines were important because Genesis tells us "Noah was perfect in his generations", zero Fallen Angel genetics. If the Israelites had mixed with these bloodlines, the Messiah could not have been born of a pure Adamic, Davidic, human genetic line. I believe that all the books that characters in the Bible quoted from as valid scriptures should also be valid scriptures to us. If it was good enough for the Apostles and Prophets, it's good enough for me too.

The Phoenicians were just an untouched region of Canaan that survived the Bronze Age Collapse intact (i.e. a direct continuation of Canaanite culture). The Philistines were a Sea People offshoot, with a ruling class governing a Canaanite majority.
So the answer is sort of, but not exactly.

I'm wondering what the se supposed epic battles really looked like. Was it only 300 barefoot sheepherders swinging clubs at each other on the side of some obscure town? Or was it really 100,000 bronze armour wearing warriors having a glorious battle? The Bible isn't unique in how it depicted its people and a lot more glorious light then was actually happening. If you look at the manuscripts from the late Roman empire, they depict Angels coming from heaven with flaming swords fighting on their behalf. By the time of the Early Roman empire, their civil wars were filled with hundreds of thousands of people fighting each other. My point is that the population ebbed and flowed and the battles scales would have reflected the populations.

@@user-McGiver Calm yourself. I specifically said "their identifiably Aegean customs". But, since you brought up the subject of archaeology, the archaeology shows an initial strong connection to the Aegean, and then an assimilation into local Canaanite traditions. When they settled there, they would have been significantly outnumbered by the local population that they controlled, and married and had sex with them. They integrated into the local Semitic culture. Semitic does not mean Arabic. Arabs are Semites, but not all Semites are Arabs. DNA analysis shows that the modern people of Palestine can be traced all the way back to the Middle Bronze Age - well before even the Peleset settled there. All caps sentences do not mean that the Peleset were the Pelasgians. You have to explain that transition from 't' --> 'g'. The etymology of "Pelasgoi" has not been settled. Your proposal is merely one of them. Not even their origins, ethnicity, or language family has been agreed upon, either by ancient or modern sources.
