Interesting to see the preview. You have worked hard with a lot of detail but not all of it accurate.
The map showing Philistia is a fabrication. There is no historical or archaeological evidence for a kingdom of Israel so to present it as existing is wrong. This is a religious story with no factual substance. This is a religious map, not a historical map and I suspect it is recent in construction.
Even Uri Avnery said that in 2018 before he died. And since the tribe of Judah was from what is now called Iraq, they were colonists then as now. And THERE WAS NO EXODUS so you should specify that the map is not historical or factual but a recreation based on religious belief.
Avnery said:
โThe Egyptians were obsessive chroniclers. Many tens of thousands of tablets have already been deciphered. It would have been impossible for an event like the exodus to pass without being reported at length. Not if 600,000 people left, as the Bible tells it, or 60,000, or even 6000. Especially if during the flight a whole Egyptian army contingent, including war chariots, was drowned.
The same goes for the Conquest. Because of acute security concerns, after being invaded once from there, the Egyptians employed a host of spies, - travelers, merchants and others - to follow closely the events in neighboring Canaan, in every single one of its towns and at all times. An invasion of Canaan, even a minor one, would have been reported. Except for the periodic incursions of Bedouin tribes, nothing was recorded."
Moreover, the Egyptian towns mentioned in the Bible did not exist at the time the event is supposed to have happened. They did exist, however, when the Bible was written, in the first or second century BC.
There is no need to point out that in a hundred years of frantic archaeological searching by devout Christians and Zionist zealots, not a shred of concrete evidence for the conquest of Canaan has been found (nor that the Kingdoms of Saul, David or Solomon ever existed. โ
Well if it comes from the Bible it is not historical nor factual. Religious stories and myths are not history. And since it is from decades ago, not thousands of years ago, it is New.
I applaud your dedication to the Palestinians.
My duty and pleasure! You are utterly adorable people, unlike Israelis!!

That map is not new at all, depending on what you define as new! It is a Bible map from many decades ago
