Who Really Were The Ancient Philistines? | Naked Archaeologist | Unearthed History

Using the term "Philistine" as an insult holds significant weight, but through archaeological discoveries, this insult takes on a positive connotation. We delve into the history of the Delilah and Goliath tribe, exploring their practices of fertility cults and investigating a temple reminiscent of the one Samson is said to have demolished single-handedly. Unearthing intriguing artifacts, we uncover a new perspective on the true identity of the Philistines.

Simcha, inspires new perspectives and authentic concepts.

[@OldHeathen1963]

There is a reason they don't want to public to know the truth 😡 And it ain't what we're told.

[@YvonneWatson-ff5ex]

[@richardhofmister3880]

[@halfvolley11]

Fun fact: The Philippines got their name Philippines by taking inspiration from the Philistiness.

Alphabet was for merchants who can “over-communicate” the ppl they trading with. But yeah it was a bit of a code as they could write multiple languages the same way without even native speakers knowing what was written

[@gruboniell4189]

We can see it was trading because it’s also all over Europe and all the way in Ireland.

[@nikkischreiber3221]

Simcha* I'll look for you again. 🙂

The Philistines are Hamitic and a Kemetic sea people from North Africa between Egypt and Libya. Some settled, in Crete and created the Minoans civilization, Santorini, Cyclades Island, Aegean island, the Greek main land and eastern Turkey. As they a closely related to the Egyptians, they wanted assistance from their Egyptian cousins when their civilization collapsed. They did not want to invade and conquer Egypt but wanted to settled in Egypt like many migrants from Asia at that time. This led to a brief conflict, but eventually Rameses III, subsequently allow them to settle in southern Canaan amongst their Canaanite cousins. The Danuna one of the sea people mentioned by Ramesses III, are also a Kemetic/Egyptian peoples, descendance of King Danaus in Greek mythology which is foundation legend of Argos, one of the foremost Mycenaean cities of the Peloponnesus. The Greeks called them the Danaans who settled in mainland Greece and the Island of Rhodes.

The Peleset were from the Plateau of Lessithi in Crete. There were other Sea Peoples, like Shekelesh from Sicily, as well as other tribes from parts of Crete as well. They had descended from the prior antediluvian civilization, surviving in the island mountains.

Good ending…. But El is from Ugarit. The alphabet was the merchants language IMO. Temples were hospitals with sex acts as medicine. Women were doctors not whores, there is no Hebrew or Aramaic medical texts but there’s thousands of Greek medical texts describing how to use Tyrian purple as a u universal drug. This bio-chemical technology came from Thera and girls were taught this “magic” Cyprus, Crete and Thera were also breeding colonies for the Levantine coast. Sailors would have beach parties with the girls and the children born were transported to the colonies or became sailors. They were promised Land from the voice of God(daughter of the demon). The young girls under the influence of complexe pharmaceuticals would listen to the voice of God and instructed the colonies. Then men tried to do it and lost control and became Cyclopes. Dont you hear the beautiful tragedy?

[@ralphstern2845]

Do you believe Moses wrote the Torah or that exiles in Babylon wrote it 600 bce?

[@sharonwhiteley6510]

It's amazing at the gymnastics people, especially academia, will go through to deny GOD.

[@gruboniell4189]

The Israelites were ex-Minoans as they disappeared but strange “Greek” stuff appears in Canaan/Israel? The Minoans weren’t Greeks but did start the alphabet. The gods were bucchus and Aphrodite hence all the sex iconography and bulls. After Thera (Medea) blew up the great Mother was dead(or in Assyria). Either way the original Minoans/Theraians(ppl of the earth) who also made the THERIAC BECAME THE ISREALITES

[@ralphstern2845]

Buybull babble does have some facts. How can anyone today believe in anything supernatural?

[@kathleendrummond1360]

The tassels you speak of look like tzitzit's to me.

[@harrybruijs2614]

Very political correct before common era. Not Ramses the second he was that for ages, Ramses the third

[@sehrgut42]

There was no Exodus, lol

[@JamesWalters-s3u]

Simka😊

[@melissaraef]

Samson was not a Jew. Judges 13:2-5 2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless. 3 Yahweh’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing; 5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” Furthermore, the word Jew was not heard of until 2 Kings 16:6, and they were draved from the land. Jesus was not a Jew. His disciples were mostly Galaleans. Jesus' words were to believe in Him, and believe the Father sent Him.

[@vanitycorner196]

Ofcourse Jesus was a Jew! That’s why he declared himself as the messiah and was called a Rabbi 🤣🤣🤣 and the “king of the Jews.” Matthew 1:6 and 2:1-2. He had Jewish parents and followed Jewish law. LOL what is wrong with you

[@LadySythe]

Insulting Israelis is not very cool, folks...

[@Alex-kc9yr]

Nobody here is doing that, though.

[@maryanneslater9675]

This is from The Naked Archaeologist series produced over 10 years ago. The presenter (the guy in the beanie) is Simcha Jacobovici, born in Israel to Holocaust-survivor parents who moved to Canada when Simcha was still a kid. Finding that out would have taken you all of two minutes on Google.
