PHILISTINES

Since 1822, scholars have connected the Biblical Philistines with the Egyptian "Peleset" inscriptions,[3] and since 1873, they have both been connected with the Aegean "Pelasgians".[4][5]Whilst the evidence for these connections is etymological and has been disputed,[5][6] this identification is held by the majority of egyptologistsand biblical archaeologists.[5]
