What ancient Palestinian landmarks or religious sites?

@ℛamzi:

Let's say the Palestinians are the "real Jews". Why do they name their country, and themselves(!), after their historic enemy (Philistines) instead of, say, "Judea" or "Hebreia"?

(Note: I'm not saying here that the Palis aren't the "real Jews", I'm just fascinated by their curious psychological profile...)

@imdashti blurted: "some Jewish movements are against any archaeological work that may give more evidence to earlier settlement in these lands"

Earlier settlements are actually *documented* in the Bible. Jews don't try to hide this. Can you prove your claim? While you're at it, here are a few questions:

- When archaeologists dig near the Old City, Arabs stage bloody demonstrations. Why?

- The Muslim waqf refuses to give archaeologists access to waste it digs in the Mountain, instead throwing it away. Why?

- Israelis have to conduct "rescue digs" in areas they turn over to the Palestinians. Why?

You are deliberately misquoting what Palestinians claim to be, in order to make a stupid point. Palestinians are descendants of peoples who settled and lived in Palestine before, during and after Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They are therefore the true and the only historical population. So when we say ancient Hebrew writtings for example, these are the landmarks of today's Palestinians, not worldwide Jewry. Do Islamic landmarks in Spain prove that Muslims from Iraq are originally Spanish? This is exactly how ridiculous your argument sounds. Palestinian is a modern national movement. If they called themselves by different names throughout history that doesn't in ANY WAY affect their right to return and continue living in their land, or to have a state of their own and call themselves by what ever name they want. If all Jews in the world without any common denominator between them can overnight start calling themselves by the name of some 3000 years old Biblical kingdom that supposedly existed in Palestine, why can't the natives call themselves by the name of their ancestral homeland?

If you want to understand Spanish from a native then select a on the internet course since the greatest way to understand great Spanish is from a native speaker.

Modern day Palestinians come from different races, as much as Jews come from different races too. Many peoples came to this land throughout history. Despite the Israelites being one of the earliest to settle in this land after Abraham came from Babylon, the land had earlier settlers, notably the Canaanites. Later the Philistines came from the Aegean area shortly before the Israelites arrive there, and mingled with the local Canaanites. Several old cities were settled by these people like Gaza, Ashkelon and Ashdod. These cities are themselves lanmarks left by these people.

Museums in Israel has many findings from those early times of settlement. But you have to understand that some Jewish movements are against any archaeologocial work that may give more evidence to earlier settlement in these lands. Still, there's plenty to find. The most significant site is Tel Kabri near Nahariya.

ancient Palestinian Landmarks and Religious sites in Palestine counts more that the count of your hair on top of your head ......

Historical Palestine was inhabited since early existence of mankind.......

It could be said that Beer Sheva fulfills the requirements since Abimelech was from a separate people.

You have to keep in mind that the Palestinians were not the only people who settled in Palestine,

The Canaanites and the Phoenicians have their marks too.

I am aware of the the walls of the ancient Palestine fortress. Hazeor, which was a strategic fortification that played an important part in Joshua's campaign for the conquest of Palestine were unearthed during the excavations carried on there.

They date back to the bronze age, and that the site known as EI Tell is the Hazeor mentioned in the Book of Joshua.

The following PDF file includes many of those excavations

none in the case of Muslim Palestinians,

the ancient Philistines have nothing to do with today's local Arab descendants.

I read some of the answers here,

they all disregard the fact that throughout history there have always been a Jewish population in Israel,

all recorded and documented, well before the birth of Islam.

Too many, Ghazah for example was built in cooperation between Egyptians and Canaanites.

Palestine is merely another name forIsrael,the historic state
