The Philistine Trump and his 5th-rate sycophantic enablers are dumbing down America in science, academia, education, research and the arts.

Well they didn't have plastic then Adrian, sorry the Past isn't exciting enough for you and your tiny imagination.

Some of us see a clay tablet from thousands of years ago, making a complaint about shoddy copper and feel so alive and part of Humanity.

You however, as the husband of one of the Guardian editors or something (I heard) whine that ancient pots aren't 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' enough for you....

British clown. (57)

At 57, I went to the British Museum for the 
 first time - and it left me rather cold 
 Adrian Chiles 
 I found the history of the world there, told through the medium 
 of pots. The orgy of earthenware was baffling

Also, from the same article, "The Canaanite Phoenicians on the Syrian coast re-established their trading communities after the and Aramaean invasions."

So, were , while were .

Regardless of genealogy, they were not natives, but invaders.

destroyed by was a human artifact, not a religious reference.

Philistine, one of a people of Aegean origin who settled on the southern coast of Palestine in the 12th century BCE, about the time of the arrival of the Israelites. According to biblical tradition (Deuteronomy 2:23; Jeremiah 47:4), the Philistines came from Caphtor (possibly Crete, although there is no archaeological evidence of a Philistine occupation of the island). The first records of the Philistines are inscriptions and reliefs in the mortuary temple of Ramses III at Madinat Habu, where they appear under the name prst, as one of the Sea Peoples that invaded Egypt about 1190 BCE after ravaging Anatolia, Cyprus, and Syria. After being repulsed by the Egyptians, they settled—possibly with Egypt’s permission—on the coastal plain of Palestine from Joppa (modern Tel Aviv–Yafo) southward to Gaza. The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron) and was known as Philistia, or the Land of the Philistines. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Palestine by the Greeks.

#Kierkegaard criticises the spiritlessness of the philistine-bourgeois mentality of triviality and the self-deception of despair.
#Nietzsche identified the #philistine as a person who, for a lack of true unity, could only define style in the negative

#Aztec temple was destroyed by the Spanish in 1521 to make way for the new cathedral
Just like the famous tomb in #Philistine #gaza or #Ram temple in India?
