Philistines were of European descent?

Did they find Odysseus and Penelope or Menelaius and Helen?

It appears that the Egyptians kept written and drawn records of the various origins of the Sea Peoples, and the Greeks were one of the groups. This is so interesting as it explains why the Mycenae civilization, Agamenon and other Greeks in 1200+/- BC, stopped their writings—they moved after some kind of “environmental blight or disaster” that put all these people on the move. Writing by the Greeks didn’t start up again until Homer’s time around 750 BC. After those in Ionia stole the letters from the Phoenicians, Lebanon today. And then vowels were added. Thus, improving the Semitic approach of using only consonants (as I understand, adult Hebrew for example does not use vowels in their writing, but they do for children’s writing).

It is possible that the Minoans of the time, the first European civilization, were actually of Egyptian descent. In that case, they’re really not Europeans.
