Israel: Diggers unearth the Bible's bad guys - Story - Environment/Sci - 3 News

Israel: Diggers unearth the Bible's bad guys - Story - Environment/Sci - 3 News
And while on the New Zealand news site...news of a dig at the Philistine city of Gath. More evidence emerges of the possible Aegean origins of the Philistines. They ate lentils similar to those eaten in Greece. Goliath's name is Indo-European, not Semitic. And--most horrifying to their Hebrew neighbors--they ate dogs and pigs!
I just like the name "Gath."
