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).

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.

@ErikNilsen1337

@Daniel Brown 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.

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

@Nderitu.G

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

@mohammadodeh391

3y↑111

@Joe 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 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.

@SonoftheAllfather

20w↑1

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.

Undoubtedly one of the best history channels on Youtube. Being an artist, I am especially in love with the consistency of your custom art. 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 Youtube 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.

For everything that i understand, iron weapons would not give you so much of an edge against bronze weapons, at least not in small quantities. Although iron is slightly better in terms of durability, the main advantage is ease of access.

@pablolongobardi7240

3y↑2

Btw... great video as usual!

@Mikebumpful

3y↑21

Early iron was very hit or miss. An inferior piece could be very brittle and rust overnight. Once the smelting technology matured, huge amounts could be produced cheaply because of the availabilty of iron ore compared to copper and tin. This made it possible to equip armies on a much larger scale with metal weapons.

So it’s not so much that a soldier with iron weapons and armor would have a huge advantage against a soldier equipped with bronze. More that once iron could be produced reliably on a large scale, there was really no need to keep producing the more expensive bronze war equipment.

@pablolongobardi7240

3y↑7

@Sven-Arne Skarvik exactly, that's why, although I think it's interesting the philistines had iron tipped spears, I believe the advantage that would have provided is probably minimal... However, a tiny bit of extra hardness, specially in a piercing weapon, might have been an edege in armour penetration

@FerasLab

3y↑1

@Pablo Longobard I believe the whole collapse of bronze age was because of iron weapons. Sea people were able to defeat all major powers in the old world blundering and bankrupting them which lead after some time and domino effect to the collapse.

@pablolongobardi7240

3y↑4

@Feras Al-Lababidi the way I see it, iron "popularized" weaponry, and made it available for the masses, without the need of a functioning central government to ensure the supply of the super scarce tin. I don't think iron is such a great advantage by itself, like @Sven-Arne Skarvik said. In a battle between 2 equal armies, the fact that one has iron weapons and the other bronze, would be a rather minor point, specially, like @Sven-Arne Skarvik said, iron of this time was probably of very bad quality.

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.

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.

@user-qm8gh3eo1u

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.

@Jay Trace I have a poem for y’all that I wrote yesterday:

Many rugged warriors march across their burning countryside. Their journey of late wears upon each soldier like a stone below a thunderous waterfall. Grass bends beneath the winds and fire rushes within. The mens’ strong eyes are hosted by exhaustion. Heavy hands are worn to the bone by blisters from battle. Staggering heaving helmets not held high are yet gleaming with a horrid red glare. From foot to brim and cheek to cheek, the blood of their foe and friend they reek. Hoping for an answer to the cost of what’s been lost, they scale the mountains from week to week.

@MRj0hnny5

Realistically Goliath was around 6'4. There's no physically possible way Goliath was a towering giant, the human body can't do it. Robert Wadlow is the tallest recorded man standing at 8'11, he could barely walk, he was always short of breath, and he had tons of heart issues. Yet people think that Goliath was somehow in the 9+ feet range AND be an incredible warrior. If we base how the human body is when it gets to Robert Wadlow, Goliath wouldn't have been able to fight at all because his body would just give out. What's most likely happened about Goliath's height is that over the thousands of years the story has been embellished, especially since for hundreds of years these stories weren't written down but told verbally. If you've ever played the game telephone, you should know how easy it is for people to muddy details. Your king defeating a guy who's 9 feet tall is a lot more of an exciting story than your king fighting a guy who's just 'pretty tall'.

Humans love embellishing height since we think height means power or strength. Even in modern history we do this. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were both pretty tall guys for the time, George being 6'2 and Lincoln being 6'4. In many depictions of the two Presidents they're made to look taller than most. Reverse all this with Napoleon, he was average height but British propaganda pushed an idea that he was incredibly short. This creating the 'Napoleon Complex'.

An interesting study on a period of History that few people are taught or are interested in. My mind is dazzled by the numerous peoples that are mentioned in the video. I don't know what "Epimetheus'" bona fides are, but it is interesting to hear one person's take on an interesting time in history. A very nice video regardless of authenticity, and accuracy. 😊 Also, as in other professions, there are always differing opinions. The current medical issues are an example, but unfortunately they have become very political, which is detrimental to scientific debate.

16:40 or they could have just syncretized their gods with the local ones. Dagon seems pretty similar to Mycenaean Poseidon who seems to have been more important than Zeus in the Bronze Age.

@MrRabiddogg

3y↑10

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.

@donaldseigel4101

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

@patriciayarber3356

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

@galaxysmp8163

@Patricia Yarber 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.

Great video. It was well organized and put together. I liked how you displayed multiple options that could have happened. There is a been a lot of dna testing the past 5-10 years in that area that would make a great addition to future videos like these. All in All an excellent, educated performance my friend. Keep doing what you do
