This Tuesday, June 28, 2016 photo shows an archeologist taking notes at an ancient Phillstine cemetery near Ashkelon, Israel. The recent archaeological discovery in Israel may help solve a biblical mystery of where the ancient Philistines came from. A team of archaeologists excavating at the site of the biblical city of Ashkelon have announced it found the first Philistine cemetery ever to be discovered. Now the team is performing DNA, radiocarbon and other tests on bone samples found at the cemetery, dating to the 11th to 8th centuries B.C., to help resolve the debate about the Philistines’ origins.
