Editing Philistines (section)

====Contra====
However, the relation between Palistin and the Philistines is much debated. Israeli professor [[Itamar Singer]] notes that there is nothing (besides the name) in the recently discovered archaeology that indicates an [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]] origin to Palistin; most of the discoveries at the Palistin capital [[Tell Tayinat]] indicate a [[Syro-Hittite states|Neo-Hittite]] state, including the names of the kings of Palistin. Singer proposes (based on archaeological finds) that a branch of the Philistines settled in Tell Tayinat and were replaced or assimilated by a new Luwian population who took the Palistin name.<ref>See Before and After the Storm, Crisis Years in Anatolia and Syria between the Fall of the Hittite Empire and the Beginning of a New Era (c. 1220 – 1000&nbsp;BCE), A Symposium in Memory of Itamar Singer, University of Pavia [http://www.academia.edu/5403302/The_Philistines_in_the_North_and_the_Kingdom_of_Taita_unpublished_paper_by_Itamar_Singer_zl_ p. 7+8]{{dead link|date=November 2023|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
