Cultural descendants of Palestinians did exist in Canaan at the time around 1200BC. I doubt that anywhere in that museum you would be able to find information about this though. Because the whole point of this debacle is a childish claim of the form “Our descendants was there first!”. Given that kingdom of Israel was created around 1200BC it is no wonder they (Zionists) are flailing arms like spoiled infants like they always do and particularly obsessing about this exhibition that covers a date range somewhat before this.
If British Museum had any balls they would make this correction and add the history of Philistines next to it but we all know they wouldn’t do it and why.
The text changed in the museum refers to the origins of a specific line of Egyptian kings around 1650 BC. I think neither the history of the Philistines nor the history of the kingdom of Israel is relevant to this.
As to the question if they have the history of Palestine/Israel/Canaan/Levant somewhere else in the museum? I don’t know, but I would hope so. If not, they would have a serious knowledge gap there. That topic deserves its own space, not a footnote in the Egyptian section.
