After being repelled from Egypt, groups of Sea Peoples — including the Philistines — settled along the southern coast of Canaan and built five powerful city-states.
The Philistines established their pentapolis: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron. Archaeological evidence shows they brought Aegean-style pottery, architecture, and dietary habits with them. These cities quickly became major centers of trade and military power, dominating the coastal plain and frequently clashing with their inland neighbors.
