Strange that the conquest of the Promised Land didn't leave any traces of the presence of the Israelites -- and yet an entirely imaginary polyglot group, including unattested Sardinians, built a town there. Ain't history wunnerful? /barf

Prof. Zertal has proposed that based on these unusual features, the site may have been home to the Shardana tribe of the Sea-Peoples, who, according to some researchers, lived in Harosheth Haggoyim, Sisera's capital city.

Thanks decimon. One of *those* topics.

I don’t think the Sea People are particularly “unattested” and the only mention of Sardinans is that the dig was in cooperatiion with researchers from the University of Cagliari, in Sardinia. I swear that is what I read. Go back and take a peek, if you would, and see if I’m imagining that!

“...cooperative delegation excavating there during 1993-2000 from the Universities of Haifa and Cagliari (Sardinia), headed by Prof. Zertal.”
