Kamal Salibi found the names of Ghat, Ascalon, Ashdod (Es Shedad)and other of the Philistine cities mentioned in the Hebrew texts as being destroyed in Yemen. See the Bible Came from Arabia. Ghayt (Ghat) is still the name of a Mahra clan of Hadramaut and Oman. We have to remember the people coming from Arabia and settling in Syria and Egypt were called by names other than "Arabs". Hyksos for example and Fenkhu (Phoenicians) from the Eritraean Sea, Meluhha (Amalekites) and Misra. The Philistines for eample were said to be a remnant of the Anakim of Canaan which was the lowland area stretching southward of Mecca. The Anakim (Nakhi)we are also told Amlikhu in the Hebrew texts including the Bible were called Amim (Umayma), Rephaim, and were the people controlling the area of Hejaz who gained control over Syria and Egypt in the 2nd millenium B.C. Someone has already posted a number of Hyksos representations on this forum somewhere. The Fenkhu (Fanikha or Phoenicians) were also portrayed dark brown and red brown in Egyptian representations. They no doubt correspond to the people called Nakh'l El Nakha, Danakil and Nakhawil living along the Red Sea coasts in Arabia and Africa. [/qb][/QUOTE]Hi Dana! That's a nice picture. Where did you find it? [/qb][/QUOTE]Hi Tariq - actually I found it under googling the word philistine under wikimedia commons. It should still be there. It belonged originally to the Boston Art museum and comes from the Temple of Medinet habu. [/QB][/QUOTE]
