AFAIK, the word Palestine is a corruption of the word Philistine Did you just pull that out of your ass, like usual, Dave? Or do you have a LINK for that? LOL. The term Peleset ( transliterated from hieroglyphs as P-r-s-t) is found in numerous Egyptian documents referring to a neighboring people or land starting from c. 1150 BCE during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. The first mention is thought to be in texts of the temple at Medinet Habu, which record a people called the Peleset among the Sea Peoples who invaded Egypt in Ramesses III's reign, [4] followed later by an inscription on Padiiset's Statue. The Assyrians called the same region Palashtu or Pilistu, beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BCE through to emperor Sargon II, in his Annals approximately a century later. [5] [6] [7] The first clear use of the term Palestine to refer to the entire area between Phoenicia and Egypt was in 5th century BC Ancient Greece. [8] Herodotus wrote of a 'district of Syria, called Palaistinê in The Histories, the first historical work clearly defining the region, which included the Judaean Mountains and the Jordan Rift Valley. [9] [10] [11] [12] and formed part of the 5th Persian satrapy (??µ??). [13] en.wikipedia.org
