FILISTENII - Poporul uitat al Bibliei

Who were the Philistines really? We know them from the Bible as Israel’s archenemy—the people of Goliath, Dagon, and blinded Samson at Gaza. But beyond the pages of Scripture, archaeology, genetics, and ancient texts have begun to paint a startling picture of a people who came from far away, built cities, temples, and a distinct civilization on the coast of Canaan—and who vanished without leaving a single written word in their own language. In this documentary, we follow two parallel threads: the biblical portrait of the Philistines and what the earth is uncovering. From the collapse of the Late Bronze Age civilizations around 1200 BC, to the Pentapolis—their five cities—to the groundbreaking 2019 genetic study at Ashkelon, and to the ultimate irony that the very name Palestine derives from their name.
