  222.  An archaeological discovery in Israel may have solved one of the most enduring biblical mysteries - where did the ancient Philistines come from? Little was known about the Philistines prior to the recent excavation in the Israeli port city of Ashkelon. The famed arch enemies of the ancient Israelites flourished in this area of the Mediterranean, starting in the 12th century BC, but their way of life and origin have remained a mystery. That stands to change after what researchers have called the first discovery of a Philistine cemetery (pictured left). It contains the remains of about 150 people in numerous burial chambers, some containing surprisingly sophisticated items. The team also found DNA on parts of the skeletons (pictured top right and bottom right) and hope that further testing will determine the origins of the Philistine people.
