The Picture from Medinet Habu of Karnak / Egypt for The Philistines [The Sea People].
www.biblicalg2.blogspot.com The Arabic Translation .
The Holy Bible dating to the emergence of the "Palestinians", in the book of Amos 9:7 " Are ye not as children of Ethiopians , O children of Israel ? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the Land of Egypt ? and the Philistines from Caphtor and The Syrian from Kir ? "
The Archeologists agreed with the Bible, that they were living in the "Minor Asia", and traveled by the sea to an Island called "Caphtor", with their cousins the "Caphtorians", in a later period they crossed the sea,to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea near the eastern part of "Egypt" .
In the "British museum", there are the "Great Harris Papyrus" ( 1*refer to www.gutenberg.org/file/15932/15932-h/15932-h.htm ) , the source of this papyrus is "Medinit Habu" / "Karnak" - "Luxor" - "Egypt ".
From this place there is the "Temple of Habu ", The picture above related to that place and refers to the period between 1200 : 1176 B.C .
"Herodotus" was the first writer who use to call them "Palaestina" ,( 2*A.Reifenberg,"The Struggle Between The Desert and The Sown in the Levant,1956;).
The "Roman "accepted the name of "Palaestina" of "Herodotus" and used it.
The Torah also explains that the "Palestinians" were a different distinguish people , they has their traditions and a religion ,which was different than "The Jews" traditions and religion ,The archeological discoveries proclaims the similarities , between their traditions and religion with that of the "Egyptians" their cousins.
For example in the archeological discoveries at "Bab El Dahra" ( 3*refer to "H.Th.Frank"., "The Archeological Companion to the Bible ",Pages 49,53,268, 1971.) . They found pottery and other articles pealed in the tomb, for use in the next world , from the properties of a buried "Palestinian" in his tomb, like the old Egyptians traditions.
The Bible calls them sometimes "Amalekites" (giants) see the various names of these people in Genesis 41:7,20:1,26:18,19,and in ISamuel17:1-11 the last reference recorded the story of "David and the Palestinian giant " , they lived between "Kadesh" ( of Sinai ,it is different than the Syrian Kadesh ) and "Gerar", their king called "Abimelech" and their capital was "Gerar"
The archeological discoveries in "Kibet el Moqenna" ( 4*refer to "H.Th. Frank" , "The Archeological Companion to the Bible" , page 88. ), this site is the old site of the old "Palestinian" city "Ekron"which was recorded in the book of Joshuah 15:11 they found the surprising things about this city, its size , with Forty acres within its walls, it was one of the largest cities of "Palestine" , twice the size of "Megiddo",it was two and a half times the size of "Lachish" their five great cities were, "Gaza"- "Ashkalon"- "Geth" - "Ekron" - "Ashdoud" .
"The Egyptians" who were their cousins ,called them " The Sea People", they recorded that ( 5*refer to " The New Bible Dectionary " , "Palestine" ) their island were near the "Minor Asia" they escaped to it ,after the attacks of " Dorians", they fled from there to their island "Caphtor" , and from there they departed to the eastern part of "Asia " to find a place for their living , they attacked the "Hitittes" , and take their Capital "Gerar" and arrived to the eastern board of "Egypt" .
The archeological drawings at the "Karnak Temple" shew us a figure of the Egyptians while they used the ladders to climb over the walls of "Askalon's Castle " shooting the arrows over the heads of the "Palestinians" inside the city, during the reign of "Ramsis III " ,1280 B.C ( refer to" J.A Wilson" ," Burden of Egypt ".) , it is clear that he attacked them and worried them ,but he did not take their lands because it was difficult terrain, he only satisfied by punishing them , he reached also to "Phoenicia " , and some parts of "Syria" , to secure the borders of "Egypt" .
At "Tel El Hasi " ( 7*"H,Th. Frank" , "An Archeological Companion to the Bible",pages 18,72,88,94,156.)The archeologists found at 1970 A.D ,that the "Palestinians" were living there , and discovered that they were skill in the metal industries, it was one of the reasons of the struggle between them and the "Israelite" , because they prevented the "Israelite" to posses their metallic tools , the Holy Bible reflect that opinion in I Sameul 13:19-22 , the discoveries shew us the bronze swords and the copper tools of the "Palestinians" .
But the power of "Israel " increased and obliged the "Palestinians" to live in the city of the mountains during the eleventh century B.C. they were destroyed completely before the end of the times of the "Israelite" kings ending , there were no historical records about them after the exile period .
"The Roman " called this land "Palestine" according to the records of "herodotus" it was a name of an ended and destroyed nation , so they think that the "israelite", the "Edomaite", the other nations have no right to revolt against "Rome" but the "Israelite Revolution" against the "Roman Authorities" at 68 A.D ,they were defeted by the Roman power and fled out at 70 A.D. the "Edomite" were increased in numbers during the reign of "Herodus Family" the "Edomite" , they established with the other remained nations , the modern "Palestinians" of today , But sure "palestine" today is the name of the land not the name of a race .
