I don't know where it first starts ultimately but so far I've been moderately successful at tracing it all from Babylon onward. The path is Babylon > Canaan > Carthage > Iberia > England > South Africa (all realitively mainstream) but some think as well Asia and yes, America.
The Phoenicians didn't exist. They were the Canaanites. The Greeks just gave them that nickname because of the purple dye they had a monopoly on. After the Bronze Age collapse, they conveniently ruled the Mediterranean seas without much contest. They were the richest and best traders in the known world hands down. One of their major footholds became Carthage. When Persia eventually crushed their Canaan cities they remained in Carthage still exploring and trading.
I've been asked if these fine people actually discovered America back then, why keep it a secret? Of course they would! If you discover a distant land no one knows about, you can mine and develop it without worrying about the damn Romans wanting a piece. You would have virtually endless resources.
The Punic wars seemingly ended their days as an official state power. But the richest, smartest, most cunning people in the world won't just stop being awesome. One amazing fact is that their armies were mostly mercenary. I guess they figure if they just focus on getting richer, they can outsource the canon fodder to crazy thugs. Consider also that they had connections to EVERYWHERE in the known world which meant they could scout out and afford the best of the best. I can only imagine the spy network they may have had!
It just seems fitting to me that Spain, eventually, becomes the world's foremost navy right up until the English miraculously sinks their Armada. How convenient that the man who got credit for finding the New World was Columbus. Columbus > Columbia AKA Ishtar, Isis, Astarte, Tanit, etc.
Look at the emblem of Carthage
Tanit was central to their society as evidenced by their coinage
So it struck me like a ton of bricks when reading this post that this old man has a cross necklace of gold signifying the Queen of Heaven.
(See image I posted earlier)
While most good catholics of Spain would think this was somehow a Christian cross, this conquistador may have had secret knowledge about what's really going on.
Why did Spain "discover" America if this is true? Perhaps they decided they had the best fleet in the world now, the recently shook off the Muslims, and it was time to reclaim their lost colonies that have been on their own for hundreds of years.
Now, it sounds funny to say Phoenicians we're secretly embedded in their aristocracy. I don't think it's so nuts. The Freemasons have had a strange and massive impact on the early USA, there's literally no way to deny it. The Statue of Liberty is essentially Tanit for fucks sakes. Believe them or not, but they claim to be a continuous fraternity that goes way back. They claim to have built Solomon's Temple. Funny! Cuz you know who did? The Phoenicians! So my thought is they went underground and decided to keep their Money & Power cult alive in mystery cults, and instead of having a literal home base, instead they would infiltrate and essentially pull the strings of every nation.
The cult of Tanit is very much alive with the Elite. I'm sure you have seen this picture by now, of Anderson Cooper's mothers "art"
Well, doesn't that look just like this, from Carthage?
To be honest, I haven't fully fleshed out the possibilities of "Phoenicians in America" so I admit most of this is conjecture. My dad used to talk all the time about how they found Phoenician writing in America, which shouldn't make any sense. Yet, here it is (or is it!?)
Discovered in 1877 in Davenport, Iowa
By the way, isn't it interesting that Columbus brought along Luis de Torres to be his official translator?
He was proficient in the following languages:
- Hebrew
- Aramaic
- Arabic
- Portuguese
The official reasoning is that Columbus was off to India and he would need someone able to communicate with the Jewish traders already there. But if I'm on to something here, then Columbus KNEW he wasn't off to India. If that's the case, then why would he need someone who knew Hebrew? Note that Hebrew is essentially one step from Phoenician (in fact, almost all alphabets are Phoenician in origin).
I really feel strongly that we're not told the truth about these amazingly ambitious people, even to this day. And I don't know why. I get this shivery feeling like "someone" is protecting the truth about them, because perhaps their legacy is still very much active in the world.
From Wikipedia we learn:
Honestly, I haven't tug into the relationship to the idea of the "ten lost tribes" and how the Phoenicians might factor into that. Maybe the mainstream account is legit and Columbus genuinely thought that these tribes went to India. Or maybe he KNEW BETTER and KNEW at least some of them were "lost" in America.
its been heavily covered up but so much I didn't know.
