Abstract

The article discusses how the Philistines, known in the Bible as the enemy of Israel, were one tribe in a larger group known as the Sea Peoples who conquered the Mediterranean coast during the 12th-century. Topics include how the Sea Peoples built the ancient cities Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, ancient Egyptian sources that discuss the Sea Peoples including the "Story of Wenamun" and the "Onomasticon of Amenope," and the cultural differences between the northern and southern Sea Peoples.
