They seem to be Philistine artifacts. Philistines are not in any way shape or form related to Palestinian Arabs.

No I didn't but I would not be surprised if some Palestinians had a little Philistine ancestry.

It has nothing to do with the people who today call themselves
"palestinians" ----any more than the LENNILENAPE indians have
anything to do with MY HISTORY ----I grew up in a town in which
the local river banks----were laden with ancient arrow heads---left
over from the NATIVE AMERICANS who ----long ago hunted
game in the area SO??? that fact makes me a
LENNILENAPE INDIAN? ----gee-----you get stupider by the second,
tinnie. The Lennilenape indians never heard the NAME ---of the
town in which I grew up------the inhabitants of Gaza----never heard
the word "BALESTINIAN" Gaza does have a history---in ancient
times it was a thriving out-post of EGYPT----and the site of much
war-fare between Egypt and ---something like the ASSYRIANS---
it was also an agricultural center for cotton. Its society is absolutely
and irretrievably EXTINCT

There were many LANGUAGES in north america spoken by the
different societies of native americans----there are no Lennilenape
Indians left in the part of the USA in which I grew up----the people,
their language and their societies are extinct.----the arrow heads
were carved from stone----so some survived There are no Gazans
left ----from the people of ancient gaza-----as to their language----
I do not know------probably very similar to the spoken and written
language of the Philistines---but they did interact lots with egyptians.
Their art seems to be to be very much like that of assyrians and
babylonians who also had a written language.
The lennilnapes did not have a written language

So are dinosaurs. Doesn't make them the direct ancestors of Palestinian Arab invaders who are there now.

The Philistines were a non semetic people that ceased to exist in 5th century AD. Unless you can show how Arabs are related to Greeks or Europeans, you're shit out of luck.

Roudy----you would know-----does that guy in the dress----from the
RAFAH ARTIFACTS look something like the old time IRAQI
(mesopotamian---babylonian) carvings?

Some of the pics specifically the dress, looks like it's Assyrian, which were another group that the Philistines were at war with.

 

[irosie91]

carvings-wise
