The Philistines were an ancient people who lived in the region known as Philistia, located along the eastern Mediterranean coast in what is now modern-day Israel and the Gaza Strip.
They are best known for their conflicts with the Israelites, particularly the biblical story of David and Goliath.
The Philistines are often depicted as a warlike people, but they also made significant cultural and economic contributions to the region, including the introduction of new technologies and artistic styles.
