  1.  devildog1982z  In China bronze, iron and cast-iron weapons had been used alongside for centuries, and even in Europe, bronze armors outlasted bronze weapons and provided protection from iron weapons for centuries. We have found tons of Corinthian, and other Greek style, helmets (much more than Roman helmets, thus much more Roman helmets had surely being made) because, being made of bronze, they didn't rust. The first iron weapons were almost surely no better, or were just marginally better, than the refined bronze ones they replaced. They replaced the bronze ones only because, once you know the technique, iron is MUCH cheaper and doesn't require to have two different metals available (that was a problem in dark-age Europe/ Mediterranean, while it was much less in China).

  2. The region was called "Palestine" by ancient Greeks at least since 5th century BC, that's not "millenia later than the events of this History" but just after the dark age.

  3. One of the civilizations that shows no signs of distruction in the bronze age collapse is the nuragic one in Sardinia (the Sherden sea people?), that would have been right along the path of an invasion from further west.

  4. And the opinion of the Turks, that arrived in Anatolia around 11th century, is so important? The region was called "Palestine" by ancient Greeks at least since 5th century BC (that's why Romans used it later), and that's old enough.

  5. Aaaand, the Myceneans had been the first to be destroyed and the most completely ones. We know they were part of the sea peoples. The Philistines were Myceneans in culture. But that they organised the entire thing seems higly implausible. They were part of the snowball effect. Pylos was open to the west, and in the west there were Sardinians, Sicilians and Tyrrenians (Sherden, Shekelesh and Teresh?). Herodotus reports the expansion of the Tyrreneans up to the island of Lemnos (where infact an Etruscan language was spoken up until 6th century BC) and Plutarch spoke of raids by Sardinians against the island of Crete.

  6. Palestine is a region, Israel is a State.

  7. There's probably a cultural reference, not necessarily sexual, that had been lost. "a thing" or "open", in the context of the bar, had a meaning that was obvious for everyone at the time.

  8.  @Lestibournes  There is no trace of Israel starting conquering Canaan in 1272 BC. The Philistines cities were estabilished during the dark age that followed the collapse of the bronze age civilization (so after 1200-1150 BC), and the last Philistine cities had been conquered only by Nabucodonosor II in early 6th century BC (at the same time the Israeli population had been deported).
