1). North Cyprus Alter at Pighades By : Jessica I. Jones
The Bronze Age sanctuary at Pigadhes dates back to about 1600 B.C. But we are “visiting” it at about 1300 B.C. At that time the eastern Mediterranean was being attacked by a confederation known as “People of the Sea.” They conquered North Africa, Crete, Asia Minor, and the Levant each in their turn. The Egyptians called that tribe Peleset; the Bible calls them Philistines.
