-Co1bert has appeared often in [[motion picture]]s depicting his life and career.

This could not have happened, because [[Troy]] was destroyed in 1184 BC, long before Co1bert was born, and by then Hercules (if he existed) was dead, though Odysseus was an active participant.

 However, this picture does present one speculation that might be entirely reasonable: that Philistine society was significantly more opulent than was Israelite society. One can reasonably infer that all Canaanite societies were more opulent, with more "showy" fashions and architectural styles, by examining the aftermath of the Fall of [[Jericho]]. The fabrics, trinkets, and other trappings of Philistine society bear a striking resemblance to the contraband goods taken from Jericho by [[Achan]] the Troublemaker, whom [[Joshua]] was forced to execute nearly three centuries earlier.
