I met a guy in college in the U.S. one time who looked almost like my little brother. His last name was Ode my last name is Odeh. I came to find out his great grand parent came from southern Greece to South America. I did a little digging and found that my last name Odeh comes from the Greek name Ode. Both my Father and Mother are native Palestinians. It is quite a shock to me now that seeing your video that two peoples who might share the same ancestry. Would meet on another continent in America in class thousands of years later is amazing. Great Video, don’t stop the work. PS I was in U.S. Marines the other guy in college was in the U.S. Navy. “ I guess the sea people’s were strong in us”

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.

@@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.

Another reason some scholars think the Philistines may be Aegean in origin is because of their tradition of settling battles by pitting opposing champions against each other in a duel. Goliath challenging Israel's army to single combat is pretty similar to the one-on-one duels in the Iliad.

@@TheAlmightyAss Apparently, it wasn't.

The patterns the philistines follow sound eerily similar to what the Normans experienced. A sea faring group of warrior pirates that were defeated by the local leadership and then offered land in a buffer zone, where they mingled with the locals. The Normans, within one generation or so, switched from their Viking traditions to Christianity and from speaking their native Norse tongue to speaking the French dialect of the time. So, it's not that far-fetched to claim that the Philistines underwent a similar process of cultural integration.

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 art style is crude but vibrant and soulful, which is perfect! Wouldn't have it any other way at all. I cannot help but feel really impressed at the sheer amount of assets you have made at this point in your YT career. Characters, map assets, little details like the textures of the sea being creatures, recreations of historical objects (ie the Minoan warrior urn). Do you ever think you will share your art? The number of ancient character drawings you've done alone could literally fuel the next dozen years' amateur historians and tabletop roleplayers' passions. I can't help but think that the world is weird and if UKposts explodes sometime in the future then literally all you've done will be lost and your art resources on ancient world cultures is so comprehensive at this point if you kept doing it and eventually released it publically you'd gain a lot of popularity and also in my view really help build up your brand and name.

This is really neat! I learned a little bit of Philistine history in Sunday School, of course, but only insofar as it touched on Hebrew and Judeo-Christian history. I think now that I'm older I appreciate the idea of a more nuanced outlook on ancient civilizations that weren't taught to me as being "the good guys." There's something to be said for complicating the Biblical narrative, I think, and allowing our take on the people in the narrative to become more complex. Obviously, I am coming at this from a Judeo-Christian perspective, but even from that perspective, I find this more complicated relationship presented here much more likely and more compelling than the simple "Israelites good, Philistines bad" narrative.

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.

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.

@@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. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/aZl0imiacKJo26s.html

@MrRabiddogg 2 роки тому
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.

So if wrecked temples indicate a false god Sampson’s god hasn’t a leg to stand on.
