[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 72168521, member: 294566"] Say what now? That would be news to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_name_%22Palestine%22#Classical_antiquity']Herodotus, who referred to Palestine as a district of Syria in his history written in the 5th century BCE.[/URL] (Or the Egyptians, who used a cognate name to refer to the place of the Philistines 700 years before that). The exact borders of it are unclear, and probably varies from time to time, but Herodotus has it including the Mediterranean coast of Syria from Egypt to Phoenicia, and Aristotle places the Dead Sea within it. This would seem to overlap quite a bit with ancient Judea, and if it stretched from the coast to the Dead Sea, Bethlehem would be included. After 135, the Romans placed Judea into the province of Syria Palaestina, but the name was not invented at that time, but already had been used for that region. [/QUOTE]
