Скачать или смотреть Goliath Was Greek — DNA Proves Bible's Philistines Were Mediterranean Refugees — 570 Years

The Bible calls him a giant. History called him a Philistine. But DNA proves something shocking: Goliath was Greek.

New archaeological evidence from Ashkelon reveals that the Philistines—Israel's ancient enemies—were actually Mediterranean refugees who fled the Bronze Age Collapse around 1175 BCE. They brought Greek pottery, ate pork, and built cities with Aegean architecture.

This is the untold story of how Sea Peoples from Greece and Crete became the Philistines, survived for 570 years, and then vanished from history after Babylon destroyed their cities in 604 BCE.
