Something interesting I came across. Kees Van Der Pijl claims that Philistines hail from the Illyrian Coast.
Kees Van Der Pijl is a dutch sholar and author of "The Foreign Encounter in Myth and Religion: Modes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy, 2010" from which the quotes below come:
"Shortly after 1200 bc, the collapse of both the Hittite empire in Anatolia and the Mycenaean empire in Greece inaugurated what Stager calls ‘a dark age’ (1998: 90). It led to re-ruralisation and fragmentation as well as the migration and settlement of the Sea Peoples, communities of seafaring trader–warriors who hailed from the Illyrian coast. The Philistines (Peleset) were the best known of the Sea Peoples; another branch of these sea nomads, the Shikalayu or Sikils (‘who live on ships’ and who gave the name to Sicily), appears as the Vikings of antiquity. They are depicted on Egyptian pictures with oared galleys with single sails and finials in the shape of water birds at prow and stern (Stager 1998: 119). Iron, the metal of which the Hittites had long had the secret, now became available to other peoples, ushering in the eponymous new age."
Pg 55
"According to the biblical prophets, the Philistines came from Caphtor (Hebrew for Crete); as noted, they originally hailed from the Illyrian coast. Their arrival in Canaan coincides with the Israelite settlement in the early twelfth century bc. After the breakdown of Egyptian control following Rameses’ death in 1153 bc, they expanded from the Gaza area in the century that followed, forcing the Israelite tribe of Dan to migrate northwards."
Pg 74
if Kees Van Der Pijl is correct in his assessment that around 1200BC the Sea Peoples originated from the Illyrian Coast, then we can easily test this.
A grave dated around 1500BC (only 300 years before Sea People expansion) on the Illyrian Coast from the Ian Mathieson Genomic History of Southeastern Europe paper showed up as J2b2-L283. So if L283 shows up in Philistine results this will have interesting ramifications
