Who were the Philistines? (History of the Philistines explained) 

Odeh- our family come from the middle off the north island of n.z. deep in the south pacific. My sis was in france and someone there spotted her as a member off the long lost French Royal family. Then I was in Aucklad City and this Gypsy lady from France spoted me and told me my moms ancestors were the French Royal family. I did some investigations and found out that it was true.

But aren't you Arab?

The Philistines were assimilated into the Assyrians and Babylonian empire.

Modern day Palestinians are just Arabs from Egypt and Syria. The family names are similar.

@@Nderitu.G the modern day Palestinians are the decedents of all the people who have conquered that land or immigrated throughout its history. My Mothers father is who I was named after, had blonde hair and blue eyes. His wife my grandmother brown skin brown eyes was named STAR and her original village before marrying her husband and moving to his village was originally hundreds of year back populated by Hebrews. My ancestors were originally these ancient peoples who populated the land. In time through conquest and assimilation their languages, religions and culture changed. Not to mention all the peoples that fled their lands and came to Palestine for refuge like the Arabian Christians who left Arabia 800 years ago, the Armenian Christian from the Ottoman Turks and other Christian denominations and different religious just to name a few. The myth that the Arab Muslims stormed out of Arabia and killed everything in their path and repopulated all the land with Arabs is pure fantasy. Arab is not a race Arab in the modern context people in the region describe themselves as Arab meaning either either Arab culture or the Arabic language. I hope that helps you better understand. Feel free to ask me anything else and I’ll try my best to respond with what I know. Have a pleasant day.

The Philistine the correct name as per the Biblical Hebrew being Felesheteyem are Ethiopians who migrated to Israel and got mixed with Eroupean ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1iCV2c9l7zw.html

This is compelling but maybe that was common ancient practice?

@@rohayeha how could they migrate to Israel if they were there before Israel existed? Your comments are crap.

@@TheAlmightyAss Apparently, it wasn't. A lot of biblical commentaries mention that duels between champions were very uncommon in Hebrew and other Near Eastern stories, which makes David and Goliath unusual. I'm no biblical scholar -- I just took biblical studies in college and remember reading about this topic, so take it with a grain of salt. However, it was evidently remarkable enough for the experts to take notice.

@@rohayeha its not logic philistine and canaanites already exist alongside judea

That's an interesting thought, but in reality, the Peleset were likely indigenous to Southern Canaan. The Egyptians defeated them (and several other allied groups) at the Battle of the Delta, but also fought a major land battle against them three years earlier in Djahy, which is essentially the homeland of the Philistines. Djahy is the Egyptian word for southern Retjenu, the latter being the Egyptian word for Canaan.

The Normans, and the Swedish Rus becoming the Slavic Rus

Some of the Sea Peoples (as far as the Rameses record goes, only two out of twelve) are actually identified, but notably _only_ some of them. Those, in turn, seem to have come from fairly far away (I recall that one group was from the north coast of modern Turkey).

And I thought I could get crazy with the writing! Dang!

@@absalomdraconis I've always found it interesting that theres 12 tribes of Israel and 12 Sea People's tribes.

I agree the art makes it more interesting to watch.

@@EpimetheusHistory This video is awesome and so much knowledge ful I get various knowledge from this not only from this your all videos are full of the glory of history and wisdom . Your videos are heart touching and it is quite normal that those are win the heart of any one . So according to me your RU-vid channel is best channel on you tube .

This video is one of the best of its kind I've ever seen, detailed yet clear and easy to follow, really interesting, a good learning experience.

I got bit by ants

Nothing at all

You may want to watch Pathos History of the Bible series which looks at the archeological evidence.

from where the video left off, roman/parthians, then arabs, then crusaders, then turks, then british, then jews

@@RingxWorld Yeah, this part is pretty straight forward. And Jews came last but they came as rightful owners and descendants of Canaanites.

The Philistine the correct name as per the Biblical Hebrew is Felesheteyem and they were Ethiopians who migrated to Israel and got mixed with Eroupean

It would be an unfortunately turbulent comments section

@@rohayeha i think an ethiopian origin can not realy be backed with a lot of evidence from what i have heared their pottery mostly resembles aegean styles.

@@J-IFWBR what can be used as evidence is the written materials from which you can follow the languages study which really comes first Amharic/Ethiopic or Hebrew and Aramaic

@@rohayeha can you recomend me a paper or monography on the topic?

@@rohayeha : Genetic testing of graves doesn't support an Ethiopian origin, but instead an origin from modern France.

Culture is hats.

It is not that hard when you talk about people who lived 3000 years ago. Talking history of XVIII, XIX and XX century without biases... that is impossible. Maybe in 1000 years, an Ephitemus descendant can talk to people about the history of these centuries without bias.

@@OrochiCr i mean. Take the movie 300. That was biased towards painting the Spartans as good guys and the Persians as a country of debauchery and blood lust. Even the telling of the oldest stories can be affected by modern politics or religion. But this video was great

Agreed. It's quite a good breakdown.

@@yucol5661 the persians were the inviders. there is no argument against that.

agreed

@ThxGod It'sOver - is it important for you to believe that all ancient slave owners were black?

you go to any elementary school and ask the grade 6ers art class to draw them.

😐😐😐...

yeah..cause fate been kinder to jews right? pfft sunday school...

@@billdehappy1 It was never my intention to imply Jewish people haven't been dealt a heavy hand in life. For such an ancient and storied people, they have endured more than they should have had to bear. My prior post is just wondering how different the history may have been.

@@daniell1483 fair enough..in such case i might have mistaken you and spoke in haste my apologizes

😔😔😔😔 tragic

Missing tons of important information like Ahahab from Bitomri and Yerovam. Also missing is the fact the right name is Plishtim and it means intruders in the biblical language. Another mistake is the Hebrew Stele Amarnaphtach said Israel people and not foreigners. I think he made a lot of historical and archeological mistakes. Better to read archeological books

Palestine was named after the Arab deity Baal, hence Pali-Stan. Phelastin is just the semitic pronunciation of the name. Syria was named after his wife Ashyra/Assyra. The whole region Syria-Palestina.

Keep searching. They're all over the internet now. Trending topic.

@@markberryhill2715 He means actual Philistines. Not Arabs larping as Philistines.

@@cecil123 the "actual philistines" adopt new identity as an Arab, just like mesopotamian and Egyptian.

@@royssche No, the Philistines died off long before the Arab colonial invasion of Jerusalem. About 1200 years before.

The ONLY reason why the Filistines were portrayed as the bad guys was because they were polytheists. Where's the crime in that? Those texts were written by ✡️ who were very biased against Filistines. Everyone feared and envied the Filistines. The Brits envied the Filistines so bad that they turned philistine into an insult. If you're looking for good guys and bad guys, the 🇮🇱 were always the bad guys. They caused nothing but trouble everywhere they went.

Only the 🤡 muhrican evangelicals think israel good philistine bad

The Biblical narrative is all sorts of Highlander-level of propaganda. The 1st Commandment screams of, "there-can-be-only-one," types of mentality. Jerusalem at the center of world commerce seems to be the end goal of that blueprint called the Bible.

the Jewish texts logically present them as enemies of the Jews and since both the Greek and Jewish peoples were settlers in the area and had many disputes between them. the Bible clearly says that the Philistines are descendants of the Cretans, therefore of Greek origin.

I mean a civilization can be very complex but still be bad.

@@khaledhussain123 I agree but I think being arab islamist not good thing. Brother don't forget messopotami might and your involvement in creating great civilization. Islam is not only important part of your history.

@@yaqo6577 like levant arabized population syrians.

Absolutely false information lol, other lies from jews. It is written in the Bible and ancient mosaic maps clearly indicate that the Philistines lived beside the Jordan River, from the east and parts of the west, even extending to the southern region of the river in what is now called Petra. which means all the region from the far north of the river Jordan to the south, Please stop lying it's pathetic.

Not philistine they are called falash but the correct word is Felesheteyem as per bibilical hebrew

@@rohayeha no, the ‘Falasha’ are the Beta Isreal community in Ethiopia. They identify as Jews. Most people call them ‘Falasha’ which basically means “Outsider”. ‘Philistine’ means Palestinians, not the Beta Israel community

Ancient Ethiopia and Israel were all jews those that migrated both ways are called Felesheteyem that is how the Biblical Hebrew bible calls them there was no "p" letter in ancient time or at least in the Phoenician alphabete ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1iCV2c9l7zw.html

@@rohayeha which time period are you referring to?. The whole of Ethiopia was never a Jewish state. Most tribes practiced paganism. I know Ethiopia was once one with modern day Yemen which explains the route for migration. Also explains the Ge’ez alphabet deriving from Sabaean alphabet who were also pagans. Palestinians are the closest people to the philistines since they have inhabited the land since and never left. The Jews and Palestinians of the ancient world were one people.

Judaism was first practiced in Ethiopia and it migrated to Israel. The north and central part of Ethiopia were the first jews. Those who migrated to Israel were the Felesheteyem/Philistine but they mixed with Europeans and came to be known as Arabs. While later some jews came back to Ethiopia and they also came to be known as Felesheteyem/Philiatine and they mixed with the people of Ethiopia. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1iCV2c9l7zw.html

@@aussiemilitant4486 I know, but he has yet to cover Sulla's Civil Wars. Right now, he's nearing the end of Octavian's Civil Wars.

A Sea people would have considered the God of the Sea as most important for obvious reasons. You are correct in that folks in that era tended to merge their Pantheons and tried to identify which god was the same as their god. Many of them, in my understanding believed, that the Gods were all the same but different cultures called them different things. Most of the PIE for example have an etymological variation of Zeus as their chief God.

Very true, good examples are the Greek city states in Asia Minor, and in Ptolemaic Egypt the Greeks often adopted local Gods.

Dagon is demon. It has a similar symbol to eye of Hourus.

Didn't Sampson destroyed the temple of Dagon a false god?

@@patriciayarber3356 true. But wasn’t Yahweh’s temple looted by the champions of Ashur and then destroyed by the champions of Marduk, rebuilt on orders of the champion of Ahura Mazda and destroyed again by champions of idk which god particularly but I guess it would be Jupiter, Mars or the previous emperor who was deified. So if wrecked temples indicate a false god Sampson’s god hasn’t a leg to stand on.

so basically Waterworld?

Kevin Costner had to fund Waterworld somehow.

Them damn Carthaginians knew how to use elephants!

The smokers in waterworld

well, yeah, they were Bronze Age post apocalyptic warriors
