Comment on British Museum removes ‘Palestine’ from ancient Middle East displays
napoleonsdumbcousin@feddit.org 1 week agoApparently it is about the Hyksos, so 1650 - 1550 BC.
The oldest mention of the predecessor term “Peleset” is from 1150 BC.

that would make sense then, given that at the time the Palestinians (Peleset) weren’t even in the area, as they likely came from Cyprus with the Sea people.
similarly, Jews weren’t there either, as they come from Babilonia. so cnaan makes sense.
that being said, there’s much Palestinian erasure it makes sense to be hyper vigilant
