Phoenicians - the forgotten Purple People who are rising again . . . like a Phoenix
On this webpage, we will explore an ancient maritime empire known as the Phoenicians. Most people will confess to knowing very little about this nation. Yet the Phoenicians played a key role in the development of several modern day ' big religions ', the occult, the global elites ( the 1%' ers ), language, law and global politics. Their contributions effect every single person to this day. They are worth knowing about !

The Phoenician Scheme
The Phoenicians most likely never referred to themselves by this name. The name was used by Greeks, to describe a group of eastern Mediterranean city states which co-existed alongside other Levantine tribes. The Phoenicians were one of the most prominent Levantine nations. Israel was another. The Phoenicians emerged as a separate entity during the Bronze Age. The word Phoenician means ' purple '.
After the time of Solomon, the Phoenicians came to be referred to in the Hebrew Bible as the Kenaʿani i.e. Kn'n - Sons of Cain - the outcast son of Adam. It's a slur against this people, whom the Hebrews cursed after Solomon's time.
Other tribes in the Levant also came to be called ' Canaanites ' . . . by the Hebrews. This name stuck, and is used to this day by historians ( who prefer not to discuss the origin of this slur ).
In our corrected timeline, the story of Noah and his flood predates Adam. The ark story was after all, borrowed from the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. The name Kn'n does not refer to Canaan the grandson of Noah, but to Cain - the outcast son of Adam - aligning his story with all the other Saturnian ' displaced ' / outlaw characters. We explain the centrality of the Saturnian cult in Western religions in our books.
Most likely, Phoenicians also referred to themselves according to the name of the city they lived in, such as Byblos, Tyre, Sidon, or Carthage ( all located along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea ).
The Greeks also called a mythical purple bird . . ." Phoenix " ( which shares a root word with Phoenician. The Greeks also used the word phoinix to refer to the Phoenicians ). The mythical bird that rises from its ashes, may have been associated with the Phoenicians. Ancient Greek historian Herodotus referred to the bird, but linked it to Egypt. The Egyptians likely adopted the myth from their neighbors, the Phoenicians, as Egypt and Phoenicia maintained very close tradings links. Some Egyptologists associate the Egyptian mythical Bennu sun bird with the Phoenix. The Bennu bird was most likely based on a heron ( the Ardea bennuides ). The Phoenix's ability to rise from the ashes was not found in Egyptian myths, but may have come from Phoenician legends.
In Hermetic traditions, the phoenix is associated with alchemy - an occult ' pseudo science '. A Latin phrase used by alchemists, and associated with the phoenix, is Igne Renovatur Integra - which means " through fire we are reborn whole ( i.e. perfected ) ". The phrase is used in the 18th Degree - the Knight of the Rose Croix ( Rose Cross ) - of the Stone Cutters Lodge.
Hermetic refers to the legendary writings of Hermes Trismegistus - a syncretist of Greek and Egyptian occult beliefs. Rosicrucianism is an occult movement steeped in Hermetic traditions, that arose in Germany in the early 17th century after the publication of several texts announcing to the world, a new esoteric order. The texts were written by members of the XXXXX priesthood, so the actual authors were never revealed.
Two hundred and fifty years later, Prussian lodges, co-created by members of the XXXXX priesthood, would incorporate Rosicrucian beliefs, including a commitment to a new world order through grand ( occult ) rituals. The 1967 Blood Moon ritual and the 2001 September 3-towers ritual, are examples of grand occult rituals designed to inaugurate a New Age and to open a portal for the ‘ God of this World ’ - Sweet Lord xxxxx.
Phoenixes were relatively common in Medieval European heraldry. For the elites of Europe, the phoenix came to represent . . . immortality - their number one quest !
What is the link between the noble families of Europe and the Phoenicians ? We answer this in our books.
Being a seafaring empire, the Phoenicians developed useful tools that enabled them to master commerce. The Greeks called the Pole star - used by the Phoenician navigators - the " Phoenician Star ". It was the one star that stood still in the sky as the other stars circled it. It's stationary position, enabled Phoenician mariners to navigate the Mediterranean and beyond.
Astronomy wasn't the only thing that helped the Phoenicians to become the commerce giants of their day. A simple writing system, helped manage trade. This alphabet, was later adopted by the Ancient Greeks, and is the foundation of all Western alphabets. The invention of purple cloth ( the dye comes from sea snails ), became the most highly prized garment color for the elites. It became the mark of the elites ( including Rome's emperors ).
Phoenicians excelled at boat building - giving them an advantage in sea based trading. Maritime law was invented by the Phoenicians. Today, the Law of the Sea ( also known as Admiralty Law ) is not only used for managing the sea traffic, but nowadays, provides an alternative to Common Law / the Law of the Land for hearing commercial disputes.
Mining was another key industry. Precious metals ( including silver ), and various semi precious metals and stones, were actively mined in Phoenician colonies as far off as modern day Spain. Tin was traded from Britain. Egypt's Sinai Peninsula provided copper, traded for, with ceder wood. It was at these Sinai copper mines, that Phoenicians discovered the temple of Egyptian goddess Hathor ( HaH / HaH-tor ). She was adopted by the Phoenicians ( who wouldn't want a goddess associated with wealth ! ), and over the course of 400 years, she became known as . . . . YaH ( Yahweh ). Sometime around 1300 BC, another Canaanite - Moses of the Israelites - would encounter Hathor as he passed through the Sinai - an encounter that would change the religion of the Israelites forever.
Around 1000 BC, Solomon was introduced to Goddess XXXXX by the Phoenician King and his priests. Israel's religion would once again, be transformed, this time, into a darker cult. In his quest for everlasting glory, Solomon adopted just about every deity in the region, including and YaH / HaH, Baal Hammon ( Saturn ), Semiramis ( who he publicly worshiped as the Canaanite's favourite goddess Astarte ), and 72 demons.
Solomon deposed the incumbent high priest of his temple, and replaced him with Zadok in 967 BC - a Phoenician priest who came to Solomon's temple from the Phoenician King Harim ( Masonic lore celebrates this event ). After Solomon, the occult worshiping xxxxxx priesthood moved to Samaria in the north, where they influenced the religious cult of the ( northern ) kingdom of Israel. The Kings of Judea in the south, gradually weaned themselves of all the deities and cult rituals, proclaiming " the I AM " as their sole god.
In 733 BC, the Neo-Assyrians began invading the Levant. In 722 BC, the northern kingdom of Israel was overrun. The Israelite Kingdom was dismantled and de-populated. Assyrians began to populate the region. The cult worshiping priests - the xxxxxs - fled the region, heading west to Carthage and then across to southern Italy / Sicily, where Phoenicia maintained colonies.
There were no wars between Phoenician colonies and Rome. A war did erupt later - the Punic Wars - but that was not a dispute with Phoenicians, but with rouge military leaders in Carthage who were also opposed by Punic elites.
In the 8th century BC, Rome was a still a primitive kingdom. The wealthy xxxxx priests saw opportunity and migrated to Rome, integrating themselves into Roman high society, becoming part of the nobility who would later constitute some of the Senatorial class during Rome's Republic era. Rome was a monarchy from 753 BC to 509 BC. The wealthy aristocratic xxxxxs contributed not only to Rome's political life, but also helped establish it’s religion. They funded the construction of a temple dedicated to Saturn.
Saturn and Jupiter were known in ancient Mesopotamian cultures ( eg Akkad ) as Ninutra ( the constant / the original ) and Marduk. Saturn was called Baal Hammon in Phoenician Carthage, or EL the Father of the Gods in Phoenicia.
The Latin language is considered by true occultists to be the only effective language for supernatural rituals, as key words used in Saturn-ian / Lateran occult rites, were passed to Rome, by the xxxxx priesthood. Discover why the Catholic Church, which for over 1500 years used Latin rites ( including exorcism ), is being sterilized from within by the stone cutting Cardinals of Rome, who are dismantling the use of Latin rites. It's not about modernism. It's about sterlizing the old church in order for it to be supernaturally ineffective against the Saturnian cult. The Roman church will also become the foundation / superstructure for a new religion - a global cult of the New World Order, worshiping . . . XXXXX - a final victory for the 3000 year old priesthood ! Gothic cathedrals lie at the heart of this new religion. They were built with this in mind from day one. We explain the ' true ' Roman religion in our books.
The noble xxxxx families survived Rome's tumultuous events, spreading out throughout the empire, and eventually, throughout Europe. In Medieval Venice, the Badoer, Contarini, Dandolo, Michiel, Morosini, Polani, Sanudo, Tiepolo and the Zorz were noble families with xxxxx / Phoenician ancestry. No wonder Venice became such a maritime superpower !
Venice Venetia - in Latin - derives from Phoenicia - ( the Ve and Ph sounds are similar ). Phénice can appear in French or Latin texts as historical spellings of Phoenicia. In Latin, Phoenice is a valid form. Phénice and Venice appear closely related.
The Roman Emperor Septimius Severus had Punic / Phoenician ancestry. Here is proof that Phoenician nobility could reach the highest levels of the Roman empire. His achievement was only possible as Phoenician nobility was well established and influential in Roman society. Severus is credited with re-igniting Phoenician / Punic identity throughout the Mediterranean. * Birley, Anthony R. (1999). Septimius Severus: The African Emperor. London: Routledge. pp. 212–13.
In Medieval Europe, noble families often incorporated the Phoenix on their coat of arms as acknowledgment of their ancient Phoenician / xxxxx roots. The ' Order of the Phoenix ' is not just a legend you read in Harry Potter.
Was Venice first settled by Phoenician traders ?
Some legends claim that Venice was founded in 421 AD. This seems a late date for what was an ideal lagoon ( and port ) - ideal for setting up a Mediterranean trading enterprise. We contend, that the lagoon islands were settled by a mix of Phoenician elites and locals, who became known as the Veneti ( Phéneti ), around 1000 BC ( at the height of Phoenician maritime power ). Before the sea levels rose in the Middle Ages, Venice was already a well established port city. It was built on dry islands, not in a swamp. Today's city rests on ancient foundations that are only now, being acknowledged. New evidence proves Venice was already a major trading port in the 1st century. The masks are coming off.

New DNA studies prove links between the Levant ( incl. Phoenicia ) and Ancient Rome.
The above video provides a synopsis of recent groundbreaking DNA studies that prove beyond doubt, that the Levant ( including the Phoenicians ) contributed to Rome's population boom in ancient times, confirming our thesis, that many of Rome's early institutions and key aspects of it's religion, were not just influenced by the Phoenicians, but created by them. That relationship later extended to the maritime trading port of Venice, as Rome's Phoenician elites spread throughout Europe. DNA confirms what we have been saying all along : the Purple People rule.

Europa is Phoenician
The continent of Europe is named after a mythical Phoenician princess - Europa - who became the consort of high god Zeus in an ancient Greek tale. In the story, Europa rides a bull . . . who is Zeus ! Clearly, the ancient Greeks respected Phoenician power.
As an aside, Africa is actually an ancient Greek name - Aphrike - which means ' land where there is no cold '. The Moors / Mauri ( who were indigenous Berbers / Amazigh and migrant Arabs to northern Africa ) called this continent . . . Alkebulan - which means ' Mother of Mankind ' or ' Garden of Eden ', reflecting this continent's origin point of all humanity.

Cult of Nimrod and Phoenicia
The original trinity cult - honouring King Nimrod, Semiramis and their son-of-god Tammuz, was worshiped by Phoenician priests. Nimrod is the Hebrew Bible's name for Emperor Naram-Sim - the first king of the Akkadian empire to declare himself a deity. After his death, his wife, Queen Semiramis created a cult deifying herself, her husband and her son ( who she now claimed was the incarnation of her husband ). Nimrod had worshiped the high god Ninurta - known later as the god Saturn - regarded as Earth’s original god ( ie the authentic true god of earth ).
Discover how the cult of Ninurta / Saturn spread via King Nimrod and today, is maintained by a 3000 year old priesthood that guides the world's elites in everything they do. Gain a deeper understanding of who rules the world. Read ' Purple People ' by MC Zaniah ( available at cost at your local Amazon online bookstore ).

King Nimrod worshiped god Saturn - known as Ninurta in ancient Mesopotamia ( in Akkad, planet Saturn as called Kayyāmānu - meaning ‘ the constant / eternal one ’ ). Nimrod acknowledged Saturn as ‘ Earth’s true god ’. To reinstate god Saturn ( i.e. to restore the cosmic order that was disrupted by the cosmic collision where planet Saturn’s system displaced planet Jupiter’s system ), Nimrod built a tower to reach and kill the reigning god of heaven - god Jupiter ( known as Marduk in Akkad ). In doing so, Nimrod and his family would gain immortality as ‘ demi-gods ’. Thus, Nimrod became the first ‘ anti-god ’ or the first ‘ Saturnian ’ cult leader.
Its yet another ancient myth that describes the battle between planets Saturn and ( usurper ) Jupiter. For more on the Cosmic Collision, the Nimrod Cult, and its links to Solomon and a 3000 year priesthood with plans for the next 3000 years, read our books by MC Zaniah ! ( available ' at cost ' only at amazon online bookstores ). For more on the prehistoric cosmic collision see ' Cosmos in Collision ' ( 2017 ) by Theodore A Holden and Troy D McLachlan.
Below : Eurovision 2024 Polish enterer ' LUNA ', dressed in demonic attire, ' sings about " Building a tower " and sports a phoenix tattoo ! Twin towers adorned Phoenician cult temples. Today, in occult circles, Twin towers symbolise ' 11 ' : Eleven - i.e. El-even ( El was god Saturn in Phoenician - the high god ) - meaning god Saturn / El Saturn is the even of ( equal to ) god Jupiter.
Luna's performance / trance is an invocation to Lord XXXXX - who is invoked " by the power of 3 " ( note the 3 dancers representing the occult trinity / Nimrod Trinity ). The elites and their instruments ( incl. Euro-vision ) know their cult rituals. Which tower is LUNA singing about ? Nimrod's tower or the ONE WORLD TOWER in N.Y. ?
To discover WHY the NY twin towers were built ( ritually commenced in 1967 ) and then ' sacrificed ' specifically on 11 Sept 2001, and then a new tower was built along with two bottomless pits - all in perfect fulfillment of an ancient occult prophecy . . . you'll need to read our books.

Two pillars or three ?
Phoenician temples once featured twin pillars.
Today, almost every occult temple is marked by two ( Phoenician ) pillars.
But there are also 3-pillar symbols, including 3 towers in completed gothic cathedrals.
What does 3 pillars symbolise ? The trinity. But which trinity ? The original occult trinity - King Nimrod, Semiramis and their son Tammuz. All three were proclaimed gods. Why would a Catholic cathedral honour them ? Outwardly, they don't. But for those who commissioned GOTHIC cathedrals, the original trinity is used to send incantations to the occult's Lord. Hence all the creepy acoustics and chants. More on Lord xxxxx later.
3 towers went down on September 11, 2001. Why 3 towers ? We reveal the occult links to this ' Grand Sacrifice ' in our books and why 3 towers had to fall in accordance to the key occult ' guide ' : The Book of Revelations.
Below left : Solomon's Temple in Tanis Egypt ( the true location of his first temple ). Note the twin pillars. Phoenician priests carefully guided Solomon into their cult. Middle : A modern day Stone Cutter's temple with Phoenician Twin towers. A Phoenician phoenix bird sits atop of a flag post.

Phoenicians in Ancient Rome
During the Kingdom period ( c. 753–509 BC ), there is significant evidence of trade, diplomatic contact, and cultural exchange between Phoenicians and Rome.
Rather than a mass movement of people, the presence of Phoenicians in early Rome ( the Monarchy period from 700 BC + ) was likely limited to merchants, craftsmen, elites and priests. But more were to follow. Discover how the Phoenicians infiltrated Rome and integrated themselves into the biggest empire of the day, establishing thriving trading posts, establishing their religion, and eventually constituting 25% of Rome's Senate. By the 1st century AD, up to 60 % of Rome's population came from the Levantine region ( which includes Phoenician cities ).

Modern day Phoenicians
Enterer Ariana Grande ( pictured here in Phoenician purple ) is of Sicilian heritage ( some suggest she also has Asian genealogy ). Sicily's capital Palermo, was founded by the Phoenicians in 800 B.C. Early on, Grande was ' endorsed ' by the Obamas ( leftist elites ). |
Released in 1967, " Purple Haze " is one of Jimi Hendrix's most famous songs, known for its iconic guitar riff and psychedelic sound. A girlfriend of Hendrix reportedly spoke about his deep interest in spiritism and a struggle with " some Devil " that was " in him ". Blues music pioneer Robert Johnson was said to have met the devil at a crossroad, and made a deal : his soul in exchange for artistry. Both Johnson and Hendrix gave up their lives at 27. Both deaths were attributed to the deal they had made with ' the devil '. The 27th demon from King Solomon's 72 demon list, is Ronové. Ronové is ' patron ' of the arts. Does Ronové ' cash in ' when his artistic clients turn 27 ?
The list of ' enterers ' who ended their time at 27, is statistically significant - strong enough to suggest that there is more than correlation between their unusual talent and meeting their end at 27.
The 1st demon in this list of 72 is of course Baal ( the Phoenician god associated with King Nimrod ). Solomon, under instruction from Phoenician priests, appealed to Lord XXXXX via the Nimrod / Baal trinity for supernatural powers. Solomon was the wisest man in the world. He was the most desperate king of his generation - desperate for every bit of supernatural help to become super wealthy and powerful.
The song " Purple Haze " became an anthem of the 1960s counterculture movement ; a movement created by the elites to help trigger a gradual societal change in the West ; from being traditional living in a Christian-centered society, to living in hippy communes ( i.e. socialism ), and finding Lord XXXXX through drugs. Purple Haze is also an iconic hybrid cannabis strain and a slang for LSD. Getting youth high and addicted to drugs ( later harder drugs ) was all part of the elites ' counter-culture ' strategy. Not only were Western school curriculums dumbing down students, drugs too, would play a role in creating a " spaced out mind " - but a mind open to Lord XXXXXX

Phoenicians exposed
Purple People is a term used to describe occult worshiping global elites who are led by the xxxxxx priesthood.
In the 2024 movie ' Apartment 7a ', a gathering of elites is held to welcome the mother of Satan's child - the future Beast / king of the New World Order. The coming events of the New World Order are being carefully directed by the xxxxx priest's own guideline . . . The Book of Revelations ( written by one of their own ; John the Diviner - a Stone Cutter hero ).
The movie is a prequel to the highly controversial ' documentary ' by Roman Polanski, made in 1967 ( of course ! ) called Rosemary's Baby. The Rose Mary is the occult's title for the mother of Satan's child - a rose being a symbol of mystic incarnation, and Mary is a parody of the Nazarene Christ's mother. Christ is a King of Heaven, whilst Satan is described as the King of this world ( 2 Corinthians 44 ).
In our books, we disclose the exact year the New World Order Beast / King was born, guided by events in the heavens ( as above, so below ). The consequences for humanity, should not be underestimated.
Throughout the movie, key elites are dressed in purple. In the key final scenes, the elites gather to welcome the lead character - Terry Gionoffrio - the mother of the coming beast. Terry is a dancer who is chosen by the elites for the ' exulted ' role. In the movie, she is assured the whole world will come to know her ( just like Christ's mother ).
The name Gionoffrio is a distinctive Latin name that is primarily a regional variation of the more common name Onofrio. It has deep roots in religious history and ancient linguistics ( hence why it was chosen for the lead role ).
The name is derived from the Greek name Onuphrios ( Onouphrios ), which itself traces back to the Ancient Egyptian name Wnn-nfr. The Ancient Egyptian name Wnn-nfr translates to " The Perfect One ". This was often an epithet for the god Osiris. Osiris was the Lord and Supreme Judge of the Afterlife who grants immortality. The elites have, since the time of Nimrod, sought . . . immortality. Satan is also associated with immortality and in occult beliefs, he holds the keys to the afterlife ( by only for the elites of course ! ).
Osiris was also Egypt's first king ( in mythology ) who has the power of resurrection.
In occult theology, Osiris is one of the key deities, and is associated with Satan. Hence all the Egyptian symbols in stone cutter lodges ! The third degree is a resurrection ritual and parallels the Osiris legend. The degree reinforces stone cutter beliefs in the afterlife . . . for those who attain the highest degrees.
In Italy, the name morphed into Onofrio. The " Gi- " prefix in Gionoffrio is a phonetic variation often found in Southern Italian dialects ( particularly in regions like Sicily which was settled by Phoenicians from the 11th century BC ), where an initial vowel sound sometimes takes on a soft "G" or "J" sound.
The elites who guide Hollywood know their history. Details matter. Most people never understand that Hollywood is one of the most important instruments of the occult worshiping elites. We do.

Ancient Phoenicians in America !
The following information is sourced from phoenicia.org. Extracts of this article are reproduced here in their original form.
In September 1,969, an extensive article published in the Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Globo, revived a dormant topic in Brazil: the prehistoric visit of Phoenician navigators to the Brazilian coast. The story quoted Professor Cyrus Gordon, of Massachusetts’ Bran de is University, who believed in the possibility of these voyages. He visited Rio de Janeiro, interested in the Phoenician inscriptions which had been found in Brazil. Professor Gordon, a recognized Orientalist, had made important contributions to the study of the texts discovered in the royal library of Ugarit. These texts, inscribed on clay tablets, lay buried for more than 3,000 years, until their discovery by Claude Schaeffer, in 1929, at Ras Shamra, on the Syrian coast.

A recently discovered 14th century manuscript ( still kept by its private owner today ) called CRONICA UNIVERSALIS, was written by a monk named as Galvano Fiamma ( currently being authenticated by an Italian university ), describes a land west of Greenland. This description was written 150 years BEFORE Columbus sailed to the Americas. We also discuss " Columbus " and the Knights Templar link in our books.

Phoenicia - a land blessed by the gods
Ancient Phoenicia, located along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean ( before spreading westwards throughout the Mediterranean ) was surrounded by an inspiring habitat that helped shape the confidence of this entrepreneurial sea faring nation. Whilst the seas were the super highways of their day ( the ancient world wide web ), and opened up Phoenician cities to the ancient Mediterranean world, it was the stunning landscape of their homeland, that fired the Phoenicians self belief that they truly were ' the chosen ones '.
The crowning glory of the region is the ' White Mountain ' - today called Mt Lebanon ( which means white and originates from the Phoenician root word lbn ). The 3,080 meter high peak is cover in snow in winter.
Today, another ' gift of the gods ' - the Cedars of God - can be seen nearby. Cedar and oak, were used locally for ship building and also exported, including to Tanis Egypt, where Solomon constructed his temple using Phoenician Cedar according to Phoenician construction methods and architectural styles.
Phoenician trade was founded on the export of a rare purple dye derived from the Murex sea-snail's shell, once profusely available in coastal waters but exploited to local extinction. Brilliant textiles were a part of Phoenician wealth. Phoenician glass was another export. In fact, the Phoenicians were first to discover the technique of producing transparent glass ! As Phoenician trade spread, they acquired various precious metals from distant colonies, adding to their wealth.
Phoenician climate was ideal 3000 years ago. It is known as ' Mediterranean climate ' along the coastline, with mild and rainy winters and hot and sun filled summers. Rainfall is more abundant in the north, today, ranging from 850 millimeters (33.5 inches) per year in Tripoli (in the north), to 730 mm (28.5 in) in Beirut (in the center), to 600 mm (23.5 in) in Tyre (in the south).
The Phoenician / Lebanese mountain range runs parallel to the Mediterranean coast, providing a natural defensive border along its eastern boundary. However, the northern and southern ' borders ' were less protected, resulting in invasions from several Mesopotamian and Egyptian empires in ancient times.
The mountain range also generates a substantial amount of precipitation, including snow, which averages around 4 m per year. This provided Phoenician cities with reliable underground water sources, as well as river water - a true blessing in a region where deserts made life uninhabitable on the other side of the Lebanese mountains.
The most interesting underground water feature lies 18 kilometers north of Beirut. The Jeita Grotto is a stunning natural wonder. This system of interconnected limestone caves stretches over 9 kilometers and is renowned for its extraordinary geological formations, some of which are millions of years old. Parts can be navigated by boat. Given Phoenician use of water craft, they no doubt would have explored this cave with small boats, attributing supernatural myths to this site. The underground river flowing through the lower caves is a vital hydro-logical feature of the Jeita Grotto. The Nahr al-Kalb river still serves as a primary source of drinking water for Beirut and its surrounding areas.
In Phoenician belief, caves were seen as thresholds between worlds ( portals to other dimensions ). They were also associated with the underworld ( the realm of death ), its waters were seen as a divine gift, and caves were seen as the womb of the earth, and tied to fertility and renewal.
Baatara Gorge Waterfall, located 70 kilometers north of Beirut, drops 255 meters behind three natural bridges that form a mountain cave.
Phoenicians did not usually dedicate major temples inside caves, but caves were associated with 3 gods : 1 ) Astarte the Goddess of fertility, 2 ) Eshmun the God of healing ( her sanctuaries were often located near flowing water and sometimes near caves - e.g. Sidon's Eshmun temple ), and 3 ) Melquart the god of death and rebirth.
The temple of Eshmun was rediscovered in 1901, and some artifacts are on display at the Beirut National Museum.
The Bekaa valley is a broad fertile region in east-central Lebanon, extending in a northeast-southwest direction for 120 km along the Litani and Orontes rivers, between the Lebanon Mountains to the west and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains in the east. The valley contains nearly half of Lebanon’s arable land. Crops grown today, include grains, fruits, and vegetables. Phoenician cities relied on the valley as a breadbasket to supplement their narrow coastal plains. The valley became especially famous for wine growing.
Phoenicians were major innovators and exporters of wine, and the Bekaa played a role in supplying grapes and wine for trade. Even when not directly controlled by Phoenicians, the Bekaa valley served as a key trade route linking Phoenician ports to inland Syria and Mesopotamia, reinforcing Phoenician economic influence there.
In summary, if you had to select a homeland in the Mediterranean region 3000 years ago, the Levant region is a pretty sound choice. Abundant resources created a stable base and fired Phoenician self confidence. In time, Phoenicians established many colonies throughout the region, not through mass migration or military conquest, but by inviting locals to join them to create thriving new Punic communities. This is exactly how Phoenician elites ' conquered Ancient Rome '. Not by force, but by integrating Phoenician elites into Roman high society during the Monarchy period. It's a strategy their xxxxx priesthood has been employing successfully for 3000 years.

Note : Seeing actual Phoenician era sites today requires some effort as most tour companies focus on Crusader, Greek, Roman, Islamic and Christian buildings, as these are more prominent, more intact, and often located close to major cities. The Temple of Eshmun ( Echmoun ) is one exception. It is an ancient sanctuary dedicated to the Phoenician god of healing near Sidon ( modern day Saida ), and is widely cited as the most intact and significant Phoenician temple site still visible in Lebanon.
