When Cyrus the Great 🇮🇷 built the Temple of Solomon 🇮🇱.

[@_Painted]

The Persians were incredibly advanced technologically and socially ahead of their time. The word “magic” refers to the arts of the Persian magi. These people built man-made rivers in the deserts (qanat) and created wind towers (ancient air-conditioning that could keep ice frozen year-round). To other people, their technology was magic. They were one of the greatest empires of all time. I would love to visit Iran someday.

Its conquerors, the Neo-Assyrians, called the land: -Palaastu -Palaastaa -Palashtu -Pilistu -Pilistaaa -Palastu Maybe you see a pattern. Although the kingdoms of the Aegean settlers fought hardest for independence during the Assyrian period and ironically, may have saved the surviving Hebrews from complete assimilation into Assyria, the Neo-Assyrians did not name the region after them. They had already been using the name for hundreds of years, with no reason to name the whole region after a small group of not particularly powerful city states around what's today the Gaza strip. It is, in fact, unknown what the Aegean settlers called themselves, though it's possible that they did refer to themselves as Palaestinoi, after the land that they'd settled. The name of that land, "PLST" is Semitic. It was used not just by the Assyrians and the Hebrews themselves (who appear to have used it as an exonym for everyone else in the area), but also by the Egyptians and indeed the Greeks. It was the most common international designation for the region and probably has a local Canaanite origin. It is found in inscriptions from long before any mention of Israel or Judah and before the Biblical founding dates of those kingdoms. --- Judah was destroyed 631 years before its territory was incorporated into the Roman Empire. "Judea" is a Latin word. The Romans called the province "Judea", because they siezed control through a predatory alliance with the Hasmonean dynasty, whose rulers considered themselves Yehudim. The Empire preceding the Romans was the Seleucid Empire, which called the area "Palaistina", as it had always been known in Greek, going back to that old Semitic "PLST" word. It was part of the province of "Syria". Perhaps you can see where this is going. Renaming the whole region after the Yehudim was a political move to legitimise its annexation by Rome. Now we get to the part you were aware of. After the Bar Kochva rebellion, the Romans changed the name, because it was inspiring Judean nationalism, which was in conflict with their Imperialist domination. At this stage in history, the Aegean settlers of the 13th century BC had been fully integrated into the local population. This was certainly not harkening back to them, if they, specifically, had even ever been called "Palaistinoi", which appears unlikely. It was just the removal of the overtly political name that they had given the province, after it had ceased to be useful and started to bite them in their posterior musculature. The name just went back to a Latinised version of what it was before: Palaistine tou Syria >>> Syria Palaestina.

The land was never in history called Israel, but you’ll see plenty of the neighbouring lands call it “Pereset” by Egyptians, “Palashtu” by Assyrians, “Palaistes” by the Greeks and “Palestina” by the Romans who derived it from the Greeks. The name Palestine goes back at least 1150 BC, that’s 3160 years ago according archeological records, which is way before Israelite history. In Greek, it seems to mean “Wrestlers” which is ironic, because the Palestinians who are native of that land also bear a similar meaning for “Israel”. This shows that the land truly belongs to the Palestinians.

[@i_like_the_7]

@@vizprave6721 However, by Herodotus’ time, the people of the former Kingdom of Israel were long gone, with but a remnant of Samaritans hanging on in Samaria, while a small colony of Jewish exiles returning from Babylonia - proto-Zionists, one might say - were struggling to rebuild their Temple in barren Jerusalem, with but a small residential footprint in the Persian administrative province of Yehud. Meanwhile, a long-standing military colony of Judean mercenaries had been thriving in southern Egypt, on the island of Elephantine. Herodotus was unaware of the specific conditions of these contemporaneous Jewish colonies. In his time, Herodotus was restricted to the places he personally visited, the people he talked to, and the sources that were then available to him. The surviving remnants of circumcised residents in the region of 5th century B.C.E. Palestine (Samarians, Judean returnees, or the Jewish-Mixed race populations that never left) had little in common with one another at the time, except for the historical memory that they had all once long ago been bonded together as tribal members of a larger ancestral confederation. In Herodotus’ time, Aramaic would have been the dominant language of the region of Palestine, which was then administered by Persia. Many, if not most, of the circumcised residents of that region might have described themselves as B’nai Yisrael (the children of Israel). So, the Greek suffix that follows the word palaist (ine) means this: IN THE NATURE OF, or, PRODUCT OF. Therefore, the Greek word Palaistine, would be this (the product of, or, in the nature of, a wrestler). Essentially, it’s the kind of name one would use to describe a very particular (and once dominant) group of circumcised people living between Phoenicia and Egypt. CHECKMATE!

[@alonrosenzweig8145]

Let's make it clearer... The name Syria-Palestina been given to the region 200AC. The name "Palestina" based of the filistines, which were sailormen from the Aegean area(Greece and Cyprus) which established their homeland beside of ancient Israel, both based of Archeology and Theology. Two famous stories from that era is David King of Israel vs Goliath the defeated filistine. Or the story of Samson and Delilah. Of course the two generations old nation of people "pealestinians" have zero connection to the greek sailormen of ancient filistine which raised beside of ancient Israel. And its not a shame. You will not see even one new Palestinian name himself "Goliath" which was the most famous filistine ever? Guess why not:) Just as you will see quite a few Palestinians name themselves after the Israeli Jewish king of Israel - David. Or in Arabic they use the name Daud. Another quite funny issue, is that there is just no word "P" in the Arab alphabet, so they can not exactly use the name they adopted two generations ago "Palestinians" because it's not their history. In Arabic P comes out as a B. Now, regarding Jews/Israelis, as i see here and there some Taqyya for propaganda reasons, 60% of Jews are of a Middle-eastern descendant... and even the European just(those exiled), kept their identity, they preserved typical Jewish family names etc. It wasn't easy to keep Jewish identity in Europe back in the days... so those kept it despite of horrors and didn't convert dont need to prove anything to anyone... Last but not least, beside of the bible there are dozens of thousands stories, songs and other literature pieces, Jews wrote about Israel, all along latest 3000 years, documented. Either if in the ancient era, midterm era, till nowadays... there were Jews in Israel backed by Archeology,, synagogues and thousands of pilgrims before throughout the generations, before the birth of Islam and after and in between... sometimes to larget extent, sometimes smaller, but there was always Jewish presence (and no one asked them if "he is allowed" to enter that land... which is now sovereign Israel). And last factual history, is a reminder that Jordan too is part of Syria-Palestina, Arabs got majority of the land(in 1946 Jordan established and it size is 4 times the size of sovereign Israel), in September 1970 the Newish Palestinians wanted to establish their first ever state in Jordan (as nowadays they are 70% of Jordan population), but upto dozens of thousands of them been butchered by the Hashemite (Jordanian) army, since then they changed they record because they understood that their only essence is being anti Israel... anyway in 1993 Yasser Arafat the real forefather of the Palestinians signed recognition in the state of Israel (67 borders) while Issac Rabin Israel Prime Minister recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians, wheh the target was eventually to have lasting peace and two states solution as last statement peaceful agreement... it didn't signed till now... Nowadays the Palestinians got more extremists because of the (funnily) Shia Ayatollahs support, of course the target of the Ayatollahs is not to "support" the Palestinians, they will not confront Israel but they are behind Hamas massacre snd as a result behind the retaliation of Israel to eradicate Hamas from Gaza... the overall target of the Ayatollahs is not "Israel", Israel is a badass developed hightech states, with all tactical and strategical abilities in Air/sea/ground, no one can "take it down" without being taken down, the Ayatollahs are not stupid, their target Is Shia Crecent over Sunni states via wars/proxies as in Syria, Yemen or Iraq, or via divide and conquer like they use Hamas as a divide and conquer tactic... many Sunni Arabs know it and want Normalization with Israel and joint alliance against the Ayatollahs targets... and that's why the Ayatollahs planned this Hamas attack... as they know that Alliance between Israel to Arab states means weakening or collapse of the Ayatollahs regime. I believe after this operation to eradicate Hamas from Gaza will end we will see finalization of Normalization between Israel to the Arab world, the Arabs though would have to force the Palestinians to have lasting peace, the Israelis from their side have to do the same democratically and to elect government that would be able to sign lasting peace agreement with concessions in Judea and Samaria as part of a lasting peace agreement. That's the only rational outcome i see.

The names comes from the older sources that identified the Philistines, who have no connection to modern Palestinians whatsoever.

Typical liberal college professor. Throw a few facts out there, mix in a little speculation, add a twist of political ideology, and "boom", the new historians bow at your feet. He failed to mention that years before he was even born Cyrus was specifically mentioned as the one that would grant the Jews the freedom to return to the Land of thier heritage. And it was not called Palestine at that time. That didn't come about until several hundred years later, in 70 AD, when the Romans finally squashed the last Jewish revolt, and decided to put a dtop to any further rebellion by removing the name Isreal and supplanting it with "Syria Paleastina". It was only years later that it was referred to as "Palestine". But, hey, it makes for interesting listening, evidently. His students seem to be eating it up.

But the Hebrews were part of the tribes in the land of Canaan even then. In Canaan lived many different tribes in different regions of the land. The Hebrews were southerners that slowly took over the northern tribes. Then some of them became "the Israelites", and the land became the land of Israel. Later, the Babylonians conquered the land and expelled the Israelites. To the point - when they "came back" from the Babylonian exile (as this lecturer points out), they came back to what was already the land of Israel.

This guy is entertaining. But a few things... 1. The Judeans did not return to Palestine but to Judea. The term ‘Palestine’ won’t exist for almost 700 years after this event: It became a thing only when Hadrian renamed Judea around 135CE. This is nothing to do with Jew-loving or hating, but mere accuracy. 2. True, the Persians did provide funding for rebuilding the temple, it didn’t go all that smooth. The the project froze intermittently and was almost abandoned. Persia had many woes, it had to fight Egypt, deal with many rebel nations, and engage in building projects of their own. The Persian economy was oscillating between boom and bust, and the project of the Temple in Jerusalem ran out of funds very often. 3. Legal battles almost lost the Judean’s right granted them by Cyrus to build the temple. Parisian governors who thought that a Judean temple was a bad idea appealed to the king to stop the project. These legal battles divested crucial funds from the project. 4. Finally, it took 20 years to complete the project. When it was done, the results were abysmal. Some of the Judean seniors who still remembered the temple of Solomon, mourned on the day of the grand opening when they witnessed, not a grand temple, but decrepitude; it was a total disappointment and nowhere close to grand. 5. The temple will become magnificent only under Herod and that is because he had a green light from Rome and tight relations with Rome and Augustus Caesar. 6. The magnificent temple of Herod, which is the one that Jesus knew, existed only about 70 years until it was finally destroyed by Titus in 70 AD. 7. To wit, the second Judean temple happened because of the Persian lenient and wise rule. However, it definitely did not become great over night. It was a gradual process fraught with problems and interferences, and it reached an apogee only during the times of the Romans.
