PHILISTINE ship
Philistine ships were sailing ships and had no oars.
In the front and rear was a vertical prow and
sternpost. A crown nest was on top of the mast.
Depictions
of ancient ships, ancient texts concerned with naval
matters and shipwreck archaeology all indicate that the
Philistines would have been capable of a seaborne
migration of big magnitude. Ships were sufficiently
large in terms of both cargo and passenger capacity. For
example, the Late Bronze Age Uluburun shipwreck found
near KasŤ off the coast of Turkey contained a cargo of
mostly bronze ingots that weighed approximately 15 tons.
Through
archaeological findings, the Philistines were just one
tribe of Sea Peoples who invaded Canaan in the 12th
century B.C.E. and settled along the coast. The Bible
refers to all of these tribes collectively as the
Philistines. They established the famous Pentapolis—Gaza,
Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gath and Ekron—in the southern coastal
plain. Archaeological excavations at each of these
sites, save for Gaza (due to the modern buildings
constructed atop its tell), reveal a rich material
culture with origins in the Aegean. The Philistines were
far from lacking in culture as the modern derogatory
term suggests.

"Very
pleased with the Philistine model. Especially like the
excellent detail work on the sail! Please thank the
builder who did a great job. Will commission the
Phoenician model when we receive the Galilee. Next want
a Judean model and have more projects in mind...
My frustration is that progressing at the rate we're
going - the envisioned collection will not available for
our museum visitors to enjoy and possibly not even
during my lifetime.
Thanks and blessings, Bill "
