What is an invasion by a maritime state? Noun interpretation

People at sea generally refer to Philistines.

The Philistines (Hebrew:? ,? pelāshet； Greek:? Φυλιστ? νοι,? phulistinoi)； This is a national title, and there is evidence that the Philistines speak Indo-European. Later, they adopted Aramaic, a Semitic language. The Philistines are one of the few mysterious races. According to archaeological speculation, it may have migrated from Mycenae Peninsula in Greece, and it was part of the migration of "maritime peoples" in the 2nd century BC/KLOC-0. The Philistines occupied an area along the Mediterranean coast, roughly equivalent to Gaza today. Note that the ancient Philistines had nothing to do with the modern Palestinians: this race mysteriously disappeared in the 5th century BC.

The Philistines were ancient inhabitants living on the southeast coast of the Mediterranean, and they were called "maritime peoples". In the 2nd century BC/KLOC-0, small towns such as Gaza and Ashdod were established along the southern Palestinian coast. According to the Old Testament, he fought a long war with Israel and was finally defeated in the 10 century BC. Since the second half of BC13rd century, many ancient cultural centers have rapidly declined or even perished in the eastern Mediterranean, starting from Egypt in the south, reaching the Greek Peninsula in the north, Asia Minor and Palestine in the east, and Cyprus and Crete in the west. The new kingdom of Egypt on the Nile River was once brilliant and its reputation plummeted. The powerful Hittite kingdom was invincible in the whole two river basins, and at this time it also flourished, declined and eventually perished; The splendid Mycenaean civilization along the Mediterranean coast of Asia, the Greek Peninsula and the Aegean Islands was suddenly destroyed. Studies have proved that an important reason for this phenomenon is the invasion of the "maritime nation" Philistines. The ancient Greeks called the place where the Philistines lived Palestine, which means the country of the Philistines. This is the origin of Palestinian place names. The geographical scope of ancient Palestine was between the deserts of Egypt and Syria, and the vast area of the Mediterranean Sea was in the west. Therefore, the Philistines originally lived in ancient Asia. The reason why the Philistines were invincible and unstoppable was that they used iron extensively. In BC13rd century, iron was still very precious and scarce. In the tombs of the Philistines, various ironware, including iron weapons, appeared. This is described in detail in the Bible. Some people think that the Philistines are a powerful tribal group ruled by the Greeks. The ancient Greeks called themselves Danaus, also known as achaean. From13rd century BC to12nd century BC, Achaia joined forces with Galileans, Silesians, tikrit and other tribes and invaded Egypt from the sea. Later, they were scattered between the Mediterranean islands and the coast. Egyptian literature once called the Philistines who attacked them "West Asians in the northern hilly countries". Later, it was proved that the maritime peoples in ancient Egyptian literature were the general names of many different tribal groups in different historical periods of the ancient world, and the scope and scale of each tribal group were quite small, and the Philistines they saw in ancient Egypt were the end of their activities. Among the tribal groups called Philistines, some people may come from Anatolia, Cyprus and northern Syria in the northwest corner of West Asia. Others come from some parts of the Aegean Sea, such as Messenia and Crete in the Greek Peninsula, and others come from southern Italy and Sicily. The "maritime nation" is a process of multi-ethnic integration, which is just a continuation of the unique war between pirates and small countries that has existed in the eastern Mediterranean for centuries. Sicilians, Sardinians, Filipinos and Thracians were once part of the sea people. Later, Athenians, Lydians, Phoenicians, Israelis, Aramaics, Romans and so on. Active on the stage of ancient history in the world, it is a new tribal group produced by the integration of various tribal groups of maritime nationalities due to migration.
