 Did the Philistines settle in Canaan around 1200 BC?
The editors of BGA as well as most of the traditional archaeologists, egyptologists and theologists assume that the Philistines conquered the southwestern coastal area of Palestine in 1200 BC and had lived there since.
But a long time before that, in the 10th century BC (new chronology: Late-Bronze period), the city was ruled by a governor under king Solomon.
Currently scientists discuss vehemently whether the Philistines came to live in the coastal area in the time of Rameses III or whether they took up habitation in that area only 50 years after their attack on Egypt.

 The Hittites
Their invasion spelled the end of the Old Babylonian empire in Mesopotamia (1900-1600 BC), and like so many others before them, the invaders adopted the ways of the conquered; after the conquest of Mesopotamia, the Hittites adopted the laws, religion, and the literature of the Old Babylonians thus continuing the long heritage of Sumerian culture.
Their empire was at its greatest from 1600-1200 BC, and even after the Assyrians gained control of Mesopotamia after 1300 BC, the Hittite cities and territories thrived independently until 717 BC, when the territories were finally conquered by Assyrians and others.
In fact, from 1300-1200 BC, the Hittites waged a war against Egypt that drained both empires tragically.
