The Babylonian occupation was brief, with the Persian Empire overtaking them by 539 BCE.
King Cyrus allowed the Jews, exiled 2 generations earlier, to return and rebuild the Temple.
This begins the period of Jewish history known as the Second Temple period.Now under Persian occupation, Jews were autonomous in the Yehud Medinata.

By this point Israelite/Jews had been living on this land – as Israelites – for over 1,500 years.
(With their Canaanitic ancestors present likely for thousands of years before that.)Only after the defeat of the Bar Kochva Revolt was the region renamed “Palestine” – by the foreign European colonial power.

MemberFebruary 2, 2024 at 10:08 pm in reply to: Origin: Prst/Palusata/Plishtim/Philistines (c 1150 BCE) & Palaestina (c 450 BCE)While GREEKS, EUROPEANS, continued to reference the region by the name given it by Herodotus, locally it was conquered by Alexander the Great. His encounter with Jews was peaceful and well documented (to this day, Jews name children after him), but he neither traded, fought or made treaties with “Palestinians”. The Arabs who had by then settled in the southern edge of the region fought him and in turn he massacred the entire population of Gaza.
After Alexander’s death, the region came under the occupation of the Assyrian Greeks Seleucid empire. They imposed Hellenistic (colonial European) ways on Jews and defiled the Temple, leading to the revolt of the Maccabees – still celebrated by Jews today, the holiday of Hanukkah.

The Tel Dan Inscription: The First Historical Evidence of King David from the Bible
https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-artifacts/the-tel-dan-inscription-the-first-historical-evidence-of-the-king-david-bible-storyFew modern Biblical archaeology discoveries have caused as much excitement as the Tel Dan inscription—writing on a ninth-century B.C. stone slab (or stela) that furnished the first historical evidence of King David from the Bible.
The Tel Dan inscription, or “House of David” inscription, was discovered in 1993 at the site of Tel Dan in northern Israel in an excavation directed by Israeli archaeologist Avraham Biran.

Again, there is no “Tufts Institute study” that says any of this.
There is a study which is critical of a Tufts Institute INDEX which obviously had some errors in it and has since been revamped.
That’s how science works. When you come up with errors, you modify the model to fit the data.Most diets are fads, not science.
