The word "Palestine" derives from "Philistine" etymologically, but I don't think the Palestinians are ethnically related to the Philistines, who...
I agree that it's a great article (although some of the highly technical parts were beyond my ability to understand very well), and find it...

There must not have been very many obverse dies used for this coin -- which arrived this morning from France via Federal Express, four days after...
