The best and most complete presentation about Philistines on RUclips, congratulations!
Appreciate the compliment. Pinned! 📌
They have had nothing to do with european !

The strangers called Invaders in shemic langwage is Polesh (singular) Polshim (plural) and the erea that they hold on the shors around the meditrenian sea is Pleshet.
They was bad neighbours so the Egeptians fight aganst them. The Hebroews gighted agants them both drove them back to their islands were they cam from.
But those invadors that setlled in Lebanon (tzor & tzidon).
didnt apposed them
They left back to their home lands Egept & Israel at same time.
The jews in Ethiopia called also invadirs by using the hemiic langwage = Falasha
Evry group people that call palestine are strangers and invadirs that do bit belong fo this erea

This has become a pretty sensitive topic right now, in the last quarter of 2023. Glad someone is talking about actual history
They were greeks...
@@NoName-lp2sr That is not conclusive. They hade trading relations with the wider Mediterranean world, much more then their immediate surroundings, as they were definitely newcomers from across the sea, but it does not mean they were literally of Greek origin.
You can go head to head with archeological findings, though, you can't win. The origins of the Philistines are believed to be connected to migration from the Aegean region. The exact details are not definitively known, but there is evidence to suggest that they may have come from areas such as the Greek islands or the wider Aegean Sea region. This migration is estimated to have occurred around the 12th century BCE. What I wrote were facts that are backed with evidence. You can end this by admitting that their origin is from the Aegon sea, and this is correct. One thing that I can agree with you about is that we don't know the exact origin of the Philistines; However, we do know the region they migrated from.🙃 @@Alex-mn1fb
Only if people really want to put a conflict of the past to modern times....yeah shit
This is such a great and complete video of the subject and there are so many things I learned from it...loved the maps as well! WanaxTV is now the _sharrum_ of Philistia!
Thanks Cy! It took forever to complete the project but it's finally here. Looking forward to your upcoming video! 📺
😄
Wow amazing video,you are such underrated channel(remind me exactly of the old Kings and Generals videos when they were small).I 100% sure you will get very big very soon,just keep this quality content,goodluck.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. It takes so much time to create a video like this. A lot of new projects coming!
This is material for schools!
Thank you! It took me forever to complete this. Much appreciated.
I learned about the Sea People, including the Peleset, in highschool, 1970.
These guys pretty much had the opposite experience the Israelites had, they kept the city-states that were inherent to the BA system and faded into exile as they lost their independence under the blows of the Mesopotamian empires (while the Israelites early on organised themselves into national kingdoms and managed to survive in exile and eventually return). By the Iron II however the Philistines were very Phoenicianised, retaining only a few traces pointing to an Aegean background (this is borne out by the genetic results of Feldman et al. 2019), it is during the Iron I that we truly get the impression that the Mycenaean and Anatolian world is moving in SW Canaan. Another important point is that Gaza was where the Egyptian chancellery in Canaan stood during the New Kingdom, it is no mistake they ended up settling there. The Philistines were a pretty eclectic mix in and of themselves, it's very clear most were drop-outs from the Mycenaean world, but there is also an unmistakable Anatolian element which is obviously present in the personal names (Goliath, to take a very famous example, is almost certainly a reflex of the Luwian or Lydian word for lion "walwe" which has reflexes such as Carian 𐊿𐊣𐊹𐊠𐊭 "wliat"). Finally, at least one Israelite tribe has long been suspected of being of Sea Peoples' extraction, namely the tribe of Dan, this was what Yigal Yadin and other archeologists suspected, to make a long story short the Denyen (one of the Sea Peoples) are sometimes equated with the Danaeans of the Iliad and are mentioned in the Amarna letters as settling in the area of Dor, the oldest piece of poetry in the Hebrew Bible (Judges 5) also mentions the Danites as "dwelling by ships" which is unusual for a tribe that supposedly came out of the wilderness, this also ties in quite well with the Danites' close interactions with the Philistines in the book of Judges and the overall resemblance between Samson and Herakles (though some have argued that the resemblance is deliberate, downdating the narrative to the Hellenistic period, which is unconvincing but still).
Absolutely perfect!❤ The Philistines will say: O my God ,we shall give him a raise😅
Thanks Mr Minoan Prince 💯 Any suggestions for 2024?
(Btw more videos coming in December)
@@WanaxTV To be precise, I don't have a proper suggestion for the next year ,but it would be about Hittite and Egyptian history and about the life in the Minoan palaces/cities. Btw I appreciate the name you've given to me! Just to tell you something : call me Zadeu, my friend!😉😁

Best comprehensive coverage of the Philistines that can be packed into 50 minute video. Great to be able to place the Philistines place in the historical fabric. Well done, exellent as always.
Thank you. Appreciate it!
Thank you, that was super interesting and you really improved your skills, production quality is top
Appreciate it brother! Yes, I think we improved overall quality. A lot of little things such as icons, maps, sync artwork, voice etc!
absolute mind blowing. Thanks for the great work you accomplished!
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video ❤

thank you so much Wanax, wondeful job !
Another great video.
Thanks 🎉
Great Work
Thanks!
Hope you do Lydia next 🙏🏾
Will do in 2024.
Awesome job! Many thaks to you.
Thank you!
Interesting stuff
It's hard to find sources like this that present ancient historical events in an unbiased linear timeline and respects archaelogical evidence. Thank you for a great explanation.
Great Work. Congratulations
This was great 👍🏿
What do you make of the Tribe of Dan being related to the Denyen?
Mostly nothing. The name "Dan" just means: judge. You know, like Daniel (God is my judge).
It's likelier than some people think.
Their symbol was a snake and a scale which is similar to the Minoan snake goddess holding a snake in her left and right hand. There is a line in the song of Deborah about them living in ships which is unique amongst the tribes. Dan and Dam are phonetically similar there is a river in Sicily called the Damirias river - there is also king Minos' brother Radamnanthis - Ra-Da-ma-te-vθ-nth. This is all just evidence and pure speculation. Nothing has been proven.
@@RFmath_
The story of Deborah is more likely to be a 13th century BC event, nothing to do with the Sea People. Not saying that some of these guys did not settled in the region of Dan, but the name Dan has nothing to do with Dam or Damirias.
Dan comes from the hebrew root: ד־ו־ן (d-w-n).
@@mercianthane2503 For sure, I'm not one of those people who jumps to conclusions easily but I also wouldn't entirely dismiss this evidence either. Right now, it's just an interesting hypothesis but unproven. So it's important to gather evidence but remain cautious.
First like first comment. Merry Christmas my friend nice topic
Thank you! Same to you my friend!
Really interesting and builds detailed and clear picture of history of the times. Thank you
Cool to see that Israelites and Philistines were able to coexist for hundreds of years with their own "states". Sure, there were plenty of wars, but also trade and occasional cooperation. Maybe their modern namesakes could do likewise?
Peleset are extinct, the modern Palestinians don't just want a small part of the region unfortunately.
The modern Arab inhabitants of Palestine have no relationship to the ancient Peleset and the Arabs don't seem to want to coexist with the Israelites

@@ilayohana3150 do you want only a small part of the land you currently occupy? Cool let me know when I can move in
Thank you
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I can see the hard work and passion put into this and I salute you.
Thank you! It has really been the most work I put into a single video so far!
a note on the writing of the Philistines, when they arrived on the shores of Canaan they were already using the linear A of the Cretans, some pottery sherds bear this writing on them as found in recent excavations in the area, in them some alphabetic symbols stand out such as the upright A and E, which means that writing as we know it today is not just an invention that just appeared exclusively among the Phoenicians without the depth of participation of the other peoples of the region.
Do you mind sharing a source for this? Because this would be cool if true - however modern scholarship still holds that they were writing with linear B when they arrived and the upright letter A and E derived from the Greek alphabet during the 8th century BC
The main epigraphic finds in Iron I settlements tied to the Sea Peoples in Israel are in the undeciphered Cypro-Minoan syllabary, a variant of Linear A. As for the alphabet, while you had earlier local variants (Proto-Sinaitic, Proto-Canaanite, Ugaritic), it is the Phoenician variant that supplanted all of the others.
One of my favourite groups of the ancient world. This great overview of them can’t wait for more content.
Thank you! Any wishes for 2024?
@@WanaxTV Either a video on the highly underrated Mitanni or the Neo-Hittites would be interesting.
@@spacebunny4335 Mitanni would be a great topic. How about Hittites first? They’re already in the works! ⏳
@@WanaxTV That sound great the Hittites are one of the most interesting groups in the Bronze age, and the Neo Hittites are one of the most underrated and understudied stages of the Hittites.
thank you
Myself is very happy to found your channel.
Ahhhh yes this should be a peaceful and not controversial at all
Expecting no turbulence here 😎
what i don't understand is hebrew bible mentions philistines around moses & abraham maybe 3000BCE but the sea peoples of bronze age collapse didn't happen til 1200BCE, so were they coming from crete for thousands of years before the other sea peoples? and what of the ones who settled in Dor? pls help me figure it out thanks!
sorry u mention tjekker in dor at 13:20.
The Old Testament doesn't give a specific date for Moses
Israel and Philistia didn't exist in 3000 BC. Any reference to that time would be just mythology.
@@WanaxTVmythology can hint at historical truths though. Remember when Troy was believed a myth, then it was discovered. Same with the ancient Minoans. There were certainly people inhabiting modern Palestine back in 3000BC - they just had different names
From where did you get this story ?
Ya English moar broken than mine, which part hab
In Greek, Philistines are “Philistaioi” (not “Philistinoi”).
Also, this Greek version of the name sounds like it’s Greek in origin. The same is true of the Greek version of the Phoenicians (“Phoenikes”), but it’s not true of other Greek versions of other peoples in the region, like the Canaanites (“Chananaioi”) or the Israelites (“Israeletai”) for example.
Is this how they are called in the Greek translation? And do modern Greek Christians still use this translation?
@@NoghaStar much of this comes from the Ancient Greek Septuagint translation, but I’m sure there would be other ancient references.
@@georgesmyrnis1742 Yeah I bet there’s more to it in Greek literature. But I’m just curious to where the Septuagint translators got these names from. they probably copied them from Greek historians instead of hellenising Hebrew words.
@@NoghaStarthe Septuagint translators would have used the Koine Greek names by which the corresponding peoples would have been known to the Greeks (Ptolemaic Greeks of Egypt as well as the wider Greek peoples).
The Greeks have had contact with Egypt, Anatolia, Syria and what is known today as the Middle East, long before Alexander.
All these peoples knew the existence of the others. There’s a letter that is mentioned in Maccabees IV where the Israelites ask for Sparta’s help. The letter’s (and the book’s) authenticity is disputed but nevertheless, it is an ancient document.
King Agesilaus II of Sparta was about to do what Alexander did decades before Alexander. He was about to invade Persia through Anatolia and he would have done so if Sparta hadn’t called him back. By the end of his life he helped the Egyptians and paved the road for Philip and then his son Alexander, to conquer Persia by liberating Egypt.
@@georgesmyrnis1742 very interesting! Thank you!
Samson was the 15th judge of Israel.
Do you think Crete is the location of Atlantis?
Hard to say, although if you search for the island of *_Sanorini/Thera_* and where it's located on the map adjacent to Crete you'll see it's relatively close by.
Search for the explosion history of the island where it's literally blown apart and sunk beneath the sea, and find rough estimates at around 1600 B.C.
That also happens to be around the same time frame when the *_Mycenaean culture_* was taking hold in Crete.
Up until a few decades ago no one really knows where the Mycenaeans came from.
So it's a good start to search on Thera to see if that's where the Atlantis legend of it sinking gets some of it's elements from.
Seeing as the pyroclastic flows from the explosion are said to have gone out as far as 35 miles, which happens to be the halfway point between Thera and Crete, in addition to the tsunamis which no doubt did hit Crete.
Atlantis was just a myth created by Plato himseld to criticize Imperial Athens.Atlantis was a parallel to Athens of his time,but Old Athens (the one that defeated Atlantis) was the city ideal version.
He may well be inspired by events not so distant in the past as Santorini's explosion,but closer to his era: the destruction of Helike.
Helike was destroyed in a single night,sank into the earth (the city was originally set in a laguna)and was covered by the sea.

Hello, Thanks for the great video,. However, there is one point not to mention here, the end of the power of the Philistines, as well as the kingdom of Israel, was put by their defeat by the Aramaic king of Damascus, Azael, in the second half of the 9th century BC, which forced them to join the anti-Assyrian coalition.
The fun part of the philistines in the Bible is that they just pop out of nowhere. One chapter these guys are nowhere to be found, and then you just turn the pages and these guys are just giving headaches to the israelites.
True!
Except for that one mention where they came from Caftor
@@ecurewitz
Yes, Caftor, aka Crete is one of the islands from where they could've come, but the Phillistines in the origins were just a collection of many folks seeking new homes. What the Bible is saying is that several of them came from the Aegean Sea.
Thank you so much. All this time I assumed the Philistines we’re wiped out by the Assyrians in the year 722, turns out it was the Babylonians that finished them in 604 BCE
People don’t get “wiped out”. They assimilate
Great vid, would love o e on ancient Israel
Yes😊
Make a video about the Israelites and Judahites NOW!!!!!!!
Thanks Wanax TV, great content!
Let's see what this comment section becomes now. Propaganda hitting us in 3, 2, 1...
We will hold ground! 😎
Read the book of Genesis
Cnane is brother of Egypt
And Egypt is the grandfather of Plashet
Are the Gods the reason for all human wars, for all time? :( It seems like it in my opinion.
Well ig we have greek ancestry
Vikings Avant' la lettre!?
Aegean Minoan trade was occurring centuries before the sea people’s invasion
As many of us, we heard the Philistines from the Old Testament! But they were one of the Sea Peoples! I'm still wondering about their language (it was an Indoeuropean one mixed with Semitic languages or one related to the Minoan language), their culture, and their beliefs that they worshipped Gods such as Dagon, who came from Syria.
Like today, there are and were many incredible cultures!
They were sons of Africa
Long story short:
Philistines of Bible are not modern Palestinians ❤
Thank me later.
Hey, make sure to watch until the end! 💯
the hasbara parakeets show en force.
And the Hebrews of the Bible are not modern Hebrews🤷
@@felipeignacio8859 true. But many have the Cohen gene marker which ties to most of them if you studied genetics. In other words, an Ethiopian Jew would have similar markups to a Sephardic Jew or even a Menashe Jew or a Mizrahi Jew. That's how unique they are!!
Philistines in the bible are an anachronism _(fictitious plot device)_ that starts of in Genesis 21 shortly after Isaac's birth at the end of the chapter the Philistines are introduced as rulers of the lands where Abraham has built his home and dug his well.
Biblical chronologist place these events as taking black between 2100 B.C. - 1500 B.C with a general consensus being 1829 B.C.
Actual archeological digs have uncovered several Philistine artifacts from pottery, to temples and so on throughout the region dating back the earliest Philistine settlement at 1175 B.C.
The narrator states little is known about Philistine religion but he doesn't really provide us with the little information we do know.
For example the bible that claims the Philistines being rulers of the lands for hundreds of years prior to them actually living on the land also claims that the inhabitants of Ekron worship a *_Lord of the Flies_* god in 2 Kings is actually shown to be another biblical tall tale based on prejudice by demeaning what they truly worshipped.
Search for *_Ekron Royal Dedicatory Inscription Tablet KAI 286_* and find out the name of the towns deity was *_Pidray_* a previously unknown Earth goddess and not Beelzebub or Ba'al Zebub as the biblical authors were claiming.
Biblical scholars now agree that ancient scribes were using a play on words of Ba'al Zebul meaning Lord of the abode or Earth, to change it over to a Ba'al Zebub/Beelzebub meaning Lord of the Flies in a poetic rhyme scheme.
So yes bible filled with legends, mythologies and so on is not the greatest source of historicity.
Philistain- Palestina! So ancient there as the 12(+1) israelite tribes... Both semitic POPULATION!
Apart from your dogged insistence that the Bible must always be wrong, it was entertaining.
Hi, thanks for the comment.
I tried to give a balanced and historical perspective. Tbh I think that Bible is very valuable, which is why I included it. I just cautioned the audience that the early events described in the Bible are reminiscent of mythology, but I still presented them nevertheless.
It’s not a diss on the Bible, it’s far from being always wrong. Ancient Greek accounts are the same way, the more you go to the past, the more mythology and blurry history you find.
I think the main reason he did it is because the Tanakh/Old Testament (literally the same book) is something you either outright, reject or outright, accept there’s not really a middle ground for it because modern western and the modern worlds understanding of morality came from the influence Christianity Islam, and Judaism have had on the world. It’s not something you can be unbiased about because of its impact on the world although for me personally being a Christian, christians and Jews shouldn’t be ashamed of their belief and should be willing to teach it as truth as the historical understanding of that time. archaeology has proven our belief system (Jews and Christians) as time has gone on and will continue to prove those belief systems simply because they are true. But I did really enjoy his video.
You are wrong and misleading, are you making up history? Go learn history again, but from people who speak the truth, not liars. And I believe that the day is really close when God will be revealed in most of his glory here in this world and he will slaughter the devil and the angel of death and wipe out all evil from the face of this earth.
I have reason to believe the Philistines were originally Hamitic (Of afro descent), but like their Phoenician cousins and much like the Ashkenazi Jews, they bread out their original Phenotype and replaced them with Japhetic/Shemetic phenotypes (caucasoid/semetic). As when the Pharaoh during the time of Abraham laid eyes on Sarah, as his servants said, my lord you see my lord, their is a fair lady the likes of which none have ever seen in this land.
I will provide sources later. Just trust me for now bro, or look into it yourself.
Pentapolis is a greek word means five cities
Phoenicians are the Canaanites.
