The Philistines were related to Europeans, according to DNA evidence in a new study
Scientists looked at the genomes of 10 Bronze and Iron Age individuals from Ashkelon, which is on the Mediterranean Sea about 40 miles west of Jerusalem and which was known in ancient times as one of five cities of the Philistines. The ancient group, immortalized in the Hebrew Bible, arrived in the area in the 12th century BC.
The Philistines sent out their great warrior Goliath, challenging the Israelites to put forth a fighter of their own so that the entire conflict would rest on the outcome of the duel.A young Israelite volunteered and killed the giant using a sling, propelling a small lethal stone at Goliath's head.So every time you talk about an underdog story as"David vs. Goliath," you're making a Philistine reference.
