[edit] Adding discussion about Sea Peoples and Philistine Settlement

Do you think a paragraph about the debate among archaeologists about whether the Sea Peoples/Philsitines settled in Canaan after the Delta battle is appropriate for this page? If so, I can add from Ami Mazar's and Israel Finkelstein's articles on the topic Hkp-avniel (talk) 16:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

No. This article's scope is limited to the Sea People's attacks on Egypt. The Sea People's eventual settlement in Canaan is mentioned in a brief note. It is well known, from the Bible and elsewhere, that the Philistines did settle in Canaan, probably when the Egyptian Empire in Asia started to collapse. But this article is focused on the details of the actual battle, not its consequences. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 08:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
