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 / Canaanite polis ( city states ) which co-existed alongside other Canaanite states. The Phoenicians were one of the more prominent Canaanite nations. Israel was another. The Phoenicians emerged from Bronze Age Canaanite tribes. They may have called to themselves : the " Kenaʿani ". But more likely, they 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 reborn whole ( i.e. perfected ) ". The phrase is used in the 18th Degree - the Knight of the Rose Croix ( Rose Cross ), in 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 Hathor 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 with the Phoenician King Harim of Tyre's blessings. 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.
In the 8th century BC, Rome was a still a primitive kingdom. There were no wars between Phoenician colonies and Rome ( that came later - the Punic Wars ). 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. From Greece, Rome adopted the high god Zeus - calling him Jupiter.
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 as the only effective language for supernatural rituals, as key words used in Saturn-ian / Lateran occult rites, were passed to Rome, from the xxxxx priesthood.
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 ancestors. No wonder Venice became such a maritime superpower ! In Medieval Europe, noble families often incorporated the Phoenix on their coat of arms as acknowledgment of their ancient Phoenician / xxxxx roots.
The Roman Emperor Septimius Severus had Punic / Phoenician ancestry *. He 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.
The noble XXXXX families survived Rome's tumultuous events, spreading out throughout the empire, and eventually, throughout Europe, including to 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.
Was Venice first settled by Phoenician traders ?
Historians confirm that Etruscans traded with Phoenicians. The Etruscans occupied lands to the north of Rome. Rome was just a village when Etruria was a regional power. In time, Rome grew stronger ( we argue, guided by the skills of the Phoenician royals and priests who settled there ) and Etruria was absorbed into Rome.
Many historians 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 ).
Mainstream historians are guided to refer to the Veneti as a mixed population of Indo-Europeans.
On the central lagoon islands, a trading port was established in ancient times, and this became the effective port for the nearby mainland ' capital ' Padua. The Bacchiglione and Brenta rivers connected inland Roman cities ( like Padua, Altinum, and Aquileia ) to the lagoon. During the time of the Roman Empire, Padua became a very wealthy city BECAUSE of the lagoon port and trade.
The lagoon provided calm and protected waters where larger sea going vessels could load / off-load their cargo, and where cargo could be loaded / off-loaded onto smaller river barges, that could sail the river to cities such as Padua.
In short, Phénice served as a vital cargo hub since Etruscan times. Phoenician skills, including maritime shipping and glass making and textiles, became features of the Venetian economy
The lagoon's port area included the Grand Canal and the Bacino di San Marco. Torcello, Altinum and the Rialto areas of Venice were already functional as port facilities during the time of ancient Rome.
Therefore, it is misleading, to claim " Venice " was founded in 421 AD. 421 AD simply marks a new wave of migrations as the Roman empire faced collapse and invasion. Attila and his Huns invaded Italy in AD 453. They destroyed Padua. The already established city on the lagoon, provided a reasonably secure place to settle for many in the region.
As a result of it's commercial success, the settlement of Phénice grew rapidly in antiquity. Many of the 100 + small islands became linked together with bridges. But the city's actual buildings were not erected on a swamp. They were built on dry islands. This would not be the case today.
In antiquity, the waters were yet to encroach on the lagoon's islands. That would begin to occur much later on. On most islands, there were streets. There were bridges between islands. The city resembled many ancient Roman era cities with stone foundations providing a solid base for buildings. Local quarries in Padua provided Euganean trachyte stone - a very hard volcanic stone ; durable, non-slip, and weather-resistant.
Sea levels in the Mediterranean have risen since 1500 BC. Late Holocene climate change resulted in significant ice melts and volcanic activity may have also contributed to rising sea levels, including the great 1600 BC Santorini eruption. Several ancient cities, built near the water line, began to become slowly submerged as water levels rose, including the port of Alexandria in Egypt. In Venice ( Phénice ), the water levels would begin to flood the islands in the lagoon. Portus / Ostia ( Italy ), Heracleion ( Egypt ), Canopus ( Egypt ), Baiae ( Naples ), Pavlopetri ( Greece) and Yassi Ada ( Turkey ) are other examples of ports and cities experiencing gradual submersion.
As the Venice ( Phénice ) lagoon experienced rising sea levels after 500 AD, the streets of the Venetian islands began to flood. Streets began to resemble canals. The solution : abandon the ground floor, and build on top of the existing buildings.
Popular myths claim Venice was build on wooden pylons after 421 AD, and this is what supports these buildings for the last 1500 years. The myth states that a small house would require 300 piles driven into deep until they hit clay. Larger houses require 3000 piles. Venice has approximately 35,000 buildings in the lagoon. It is claimed that there are 30 million piles holding up the city.
Take a moment to consider this myth. 30 million piles means 30 million trees. To harvest 30 million trees, you would need a forest of ~ 44,000 acres / 70 square miles. Venice area is 1.6 square miles. You would need a forest that's 43 times the area of Venice. That's 3 times the size of Manhattan island ( New York ). Where in Italy was this vast timber reserve sourced from ? Historians are silent.
The next aspect of this myth is about installing the pylons. Without modern day Hydraulic Impact Pile Drivers, 30 million pylons would have had to be manually driven into the ground. Driving a 10 m alder pile in soft lagoon mud manually would take a team of 6 workers using a block-and-tackle hammer, about 8–10 hours per day. A single pile may sometimes take 2–3 days to fully sink. Now multiply that by 30 million and you get the picture. Its just not possible. We did the numbers. It takes 2,465 years for 100 crews of 6 men ( 600 men ), working 10 hours EVERY day. Even if you double the number of crews ( 200 crews ) it would still take ~ 1230 years. Given that the myth makers claim Venice wasn't settled until 421 AD, that means a continuous build from 421 AD until 1650 AD. No historian has any evidence that such ongoing construction rates ever occurred. It's pure myth.
Pylons made of timber are not eternal. They are organic matter and will weaken over time. Only the pylon that rests in mud is ' protected ' ( mud creates a anaerobic condition ). But the piles are also exposed to water above the mud.
In understanding how and when Venice was built, the simple answer makes the most sense ( applying Ockham's razor ). The original cities of the lagoon were built during antiquity ( from the Etruscan to Imperial Roman period ). When the waters came up in the Middle Ages, existing buildings served as ' foundations ' for higher levels as residents escaped the rising waters.
Yes, pylons were added around the perimeter of taller buildings as the original ancient foundations began to subside. But this is very different from claiming that each building rests on thousands of piles.
Not only is the 421 AD ' foundation date ' misleading, but the way Venice ( Phénice ) was built, is also a myth. The myth obscures the true foundation story of the lagoon islands and it's founders - the Phoenicians. Perhaps that is how the elites of Venice prefer it. Occulting their presence has been a recurring practice, and this continues today. No wonder Venice / Phénice is the home of the masqueraders.
To see for yourself, you can go diving in the lagoon. But you need a permit from the Italian Soprintendenza. The lagoon has ancient Roman structures underwater - including early buildings and remains of docks - as well as shipwrecks from that period ; real proof that Venice / Phénice was not founded in 421 AD.

" One of the most fascinating aspects of the study is the demonstration that the Venetian
Lagoon, far from being an isolated periphery in the Roman world, functioned as a key
node in a complex pan-Mediterranean trade network. This discovery reveals previously
unknown routes of cultural and economic exchange, evidencing the flow of materials
and technical knowledge between distant regions ".

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.
Zeus is a Jovian deity ( i.e. not Saturnian one ) - and was often depicted as an eagle - a symbol also of god Jupiter. Jupiter is the Roman name for the Greek god Zeus. Saturnian characters ( e.g. Europa ) were often incorporated in ancient myths to reflect the real world cosmic battle between the Saturnians and the Jovians ( we discuss this throughout this website and in more detail, in all our books ). In this myth ( related to the foundation of Minoan Crete ), Zeus kidnaps Europa, but they eventually become lovers and produce a son - Minos ( i.e. the cosmic battle in space is over - the world can move on / a new civilisation is born - Minos becomes first king of Minoan Crete ). The bull was a popular beast in many myths of the time, as the Great Age was . . . Taurus ( 4000 BC to 2000 BC ).
Later on, the Phoenician / Saturnian priests permanently ' marked ' THEIR continent after one of their own with Europa ! Just as Europa rode god Zeus, the xxxxx priests ride / control the continent marked with their name.
Finally, Europa riding a bull mirrors the story of the ' whore ' that rides the beast - from the Book of Revelations - a guide book for the end times ( written for the xxxxx priesthood ) i.e. the end of the Piscine Age - which dawned in 1967 - according to the Ezekiel timeline ( see our 1967 2001 2033 webpage ). John the Divine(r) was the main author of the Book of Revelations ; a book written to be shared with the xxxxx priests. John wrote in Greek not Hebrew or Aramaic. He was not an early apostle like Peter but befriended Jesus after the crucifixion, becoming his scribe. The xxxxxs were keen to track the Nazarene, hence a scribe was an ideal cover. John scribed 7 letters to new churches on Christ’s behalf ( also preserved in the Book of Revelations )
Did the Greek's Zeus - bull / Europa princess tale inspire John's whore & beast imagery in Revelation 17 ? Who are the ' whores ' ? They are the elites - who sell / whore themselves to their lord. . . XXXXX.
John the Divine(r) was never killed for being a follower of Christianity, unlike many of the apostles. Why not ? Like the Gospel author Luke, he was an associate of the xxxxx priesthood, ensuring he could write his book uninterrupted on the Greek Island of Patmos.
The Gospel author Luke is also believed to have died a natural death. Luke was not from Jerusalem, but from Greek speaking Antioch in Syria ( which lies just north of ancient Phoenicia ). When you work for the priesthood, Rome leaves you alone. Luke's report to his bosses ( the xxxxx priesthood ) was called the ' Acts of the Apostles ' ( you’ll find it in your New Testament bible ). It gave the priesthood a detailed synopsis of the activities of the new Pauline Church ( which evolved from the Nazarene movement after the crucifixion event ). Why would a 3000 year old priesthood care about someone from Galilee of all places ( i.e. " hillbilly country " ) ? The Nazarene fulfilled the timeline guidelines of the Hebrew prophet Daniel exactly to the day when he entered Jerusalem on " Palm Sunday " of 33 AD. Christ was showing HE was the rightful king of God's kingdom ( a kingdom that stands against the other god - " the God of this world " . . . Lord XXXXX. This 3000 year old priesthood knows it's history and prophecies. From the day he was born, Christ was a marked man, and marking him throughout his life, were those allied with this ancient priesthood, including scribes Luke and John the Diviner ( who today, is a hero of the Stone Cutters ).
Theorists suggest the word Europe / Europa has a Semitic origin : from the Akkadian word erebu or Phoenician 'ereb - meaning " sunset " or " west " ( in contrast to asu for " sunrise " or " east ", which gave rise to " Asia " ) !
The Assyrian connection
The rise of Neo-Babylonian empire late in the 7th century BC, triggered a migration of Assyrians towards Europe, with Assyrians migrating to the Black Sea region where they became known as the Scythians.
The Assyrian kingdom's fall in 609 B.C. led to further migrations of Assyrians. They settled in western Europe, becoming the Frankish tribes. These Frankish invaders challenged Saxon tribes for supremacy and emerged victorious. On 25 December 800, Pope Leo III crowned the Frankish king Charlemagne the Holy Roman emperor. The ancient name for the Frankish tribes is the Deutsch ( i.e. the Germans and Dutch ) - both come from the same ancient root Teutch. Tuitsch was the father of Nimrod of Akkad ( who in Assyria was called Ninus ). The Hebrew Bible calls the father of Nimrod " Kush ". Is Tuitsch . . . Kush ? Likely yes. In time, the Franks became the German nation. Franks migrated to the north east of modern day Germany, to become known as the . . . Prussians.
In the 19th century, Prussian elites, searching for their ancient Assyrian roots, accepted the XXXXX priests as their mentors ( whilst outwardly continuing to practice Christianity ). This new union centered in Berlin, would result in the creation of new Lodges, where recruits could be initiated across Europe and later, around the world. It is here, that an ancient plan for a new global world order was carefully planned. The academic, Karl Marx was initiated into a Prussian Lodge, and led the intellectual arm of this movement. Revolutionaries such as V.V. Lenin, were trained in Berlin, and then unleashed to create the Communist uprising in Russia. Prussian elites, keen to achieve their new world order, are responsible for two world wars in the twentieth century.
Lodges were central to creating uprisings well before the Prussians adopted them. These Lodges arouse out of the Knights Templar, which were forced to go underground by their arch rivals . . . the Catholic Church. The Templars were of course, members of the ancient XXXXX priesthood. We explain Templar history in more detail in our books.
Once Protestant kingdoms provided more protection against the Catholic Church, Lodges spread throughout northern Europe and Britain. Now, they could begin to implement their grand plans. The overthrow or weakening of Europe's Christian monarchs were a key goal ( Christianity being the foundation for Western society, is deeply despised by the elites and a primary target for destruction as the elites progress their plans for a new global order ). The first revolution in Europe targeted the French king, whilst in America, the local lodge led the rebellion that ousted British rule. In 1929, the Lodge began its infiltration of the Vatican ; a 100 year process in time for 2033 - the 3000 year anniversary of the dedication of Solomon's temple by the xxxxxx priesthood ( and the year that will witness a Four Blood Moon Tetrad - a highly auspicious event in occult beliefs ).
The Phoenicians certainly have a most colorful history ! And it is clear, the Purple People have never gone away.

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.
Zeus is a Jovian deity ( i.e. not Saturnian one ) - and was often depicted as an eagle - a symbol also of god Jupiter. Jupiter is the Roman name for the Greek god Zeus. Saturnian characters ( e.g. Europa ) were often incorporated in ancient myths to reflect the real world cosmic battle between the Saturnians and the Jovians ( we discuss this throughout this website and in more detail, in all our books ). In this myth ( related to the foundation of Minoan Crete ), Zeus kidnaps Europa, but they eventually become lovers and produce a son - Minos ( i.e. the cosmic battle in space is over - the world can move on / a new civilisation is born - Minos becomes first king of Minoan Crete ). The bull was a popular beast in many myths of the time, as the Great Age was . . . Taurus ( 4000 BC to 2000 BC ).

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 ).
The trinity cult spread around the Middle East. The names of the three often changed in each region with local languages and the use of titles ( rather than names ) accounting for the differences. Nimrod builds a tower and tries to kill the god of heaven, in order that HE may become the high god. Whether this is a myth or the event really did happen, the message is the same : the occult's first trinity is also the first anti-god cult who tried to destroy the ruling god ( “ Jupiter - the usurper of Saturn ” ).
Where did the Phoenician priesthood & royal families come from ?
Phoenician priests and royal families emerged in the Levant, where Canaanite tribes ruled. These priests and royals were not indigenous Canaanites, but descendants of Akkadian royalty, which included King Nimrod ( a.k.a. King Naram-Sim of Akkad ). Who were the Canaanites ? We uncover the often forgotten story of the Canaanites in our book ' Satan Rules '. Understanding the origins of the Canaanites, helps make more sense of the Saturnian story.
The Akkadian Empire existed from approximately 2333–2000 BC, whilst Phoenicia's prominence as a maritime civilisation began after 1200 BC ( coinciding with the time of Solomon ).
The Akkadian Empire, under kings Sargon and Naram-Sin, militarily conquered and controlled parts of the Levant.
( See map below ).
Evidence of Akkadian influence in the Levant region includes :
Akkadian trade routes went as far west as the Mediterranean coast, where the Phoenician city-states would later emerge. The Akkadians' influence on the region laid the groundwork for later cultural, and political developments, leading to the rise of the Phoenician maritime empire. Migrating some of the Akkadian ruling class to the Levant, ensured Akkadian influence would be maintained in the region.
Akkadian Queen Semiramis’ Cult of Nimrod thus came to the Levant with Akkadian elites, who settled on the Mediterranean’s eastern coast. From these elites, the priests of Phoenicia were adopted by Israel’s King Solomon in 967 BC and became known as . . . the XXXXX ( occult ) priesthood. Amongst the many deities sought by Solomon for blessings, were the Nimrod trinity, Saturn ( called Ninurta in Akkad - i.e. Earth’s true god ! ) and 72 demons !
Gods Nimrod, Semiramis & Tammuz continued to be honoured by the Akkadian elites who settled in the Levant. Local titles, in local languages, replaced their original Akkadian names.
Semiramis was worshiped by the name Astarte which whom she was merged to occult her identity. She was called Ishtar in Babylon and Easter in modern times. In Akkadia she called herself the moon goddess, and in Phoenicia she was symbolised by a dove ( a symbol adopted by the Catholic Church ).
Tammuz - the annual resurrecting son-of-god Nimrod - was called Adonis ( meaning Lord ) in Phoenicia. A mid-summer ' mourning for Tammuz ' festival marked the resurrection. His cult center was in Byblos. His mother's temple ( Astarte / Semiramis ) was also built in Byblos. Semiramis was also the lover of her son ( not an unusual relationship in ancient myths or amongst the elites ).
Nimrod ( a.k.a. Naram-Sin ). His worship is linked to Baal Hammon ( Saturn / Ninurta ) - a high god in Phoenicia.
The important link here is between King Solomon and the Phoenician king Hiram - who not only provided cedar wood for Solomon's temple rebuild in Tanis Egypt, but also priests including XXXX - a very clever way to spread Phoenician influence !
But with the priests, came occult beliefs, including the worship of the original occult trinity / anti-god cult. Israel's religion would never be the same.

( See map below ).
Evidence of Akkadian influence in the Levant region includes :
- Akkadians built a royal residence and an administrative center at Tell Brak ( ancient Nagar ) in northeastern Syria to better police the region and manage trade. Akkadian nobility and officials were likely present in these royal administrative hubs.
- Political Marriages : To consolidate power and influence local elites, Naram-Sin married one of his daughters to a local ruler of Mozan ( ancient Urkesh ). Urkesh was located at the site of modern-day Tell Mozan ( or Tell Mozan ) in northeastern Syria.
Akkadian trade routes went as far west as the Mediterranean coast, where the Phoenician city-states would later emerge.

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.

The Phoenicians of Carthage provide more insight into Phoenician religion. Carthaginians kept both part-time and full-time priests called khnm / singular khn, cognate with the Hebrew term kohen ), led by high priests, as well as lower-ranking religious officials, called " servants " or " slaves " of the sanctuary ( male: ˤbd, female: ˤbdt or ˤmt ). Some Phoenician sanctuaries held ritual banquets and practiced sacred prostitution ( archeologically verified at Sicca Veneria in western Tunisia, and the sanctuary of Venus at Eryx in western Sicily ). Sacred prostitution is mentioned by Latin author Valerius Maximus, who described how Carthaginian women gained gifts by engaging in prostitution with visitors at Sicca Veneria.
Various Greek and Roman sources describe and criticize the Carthaginian practice of sacrificing children by burning. Many ancient Greek and Latin authors describe child sacrifice to god " Kronos " ( god Saturn in ancient Rome ). These descriptions were comparable to those found in the Hebrew Bible.
Practitioners of Aquarian Spirituality study the ' freedom teachings of Melchizedek ' which stand against temple prostitution and child sacrifice. His teachings, which underpin the ' second pillar of Aquarian Spirituality ', supports our position against Saturnian cults & practices such as sodomy.

Are any Phoenician words or names linked to the Italian / Latin language ?
Phoenician writings are scarce today, with few having survived the passage of time. Phoenician / Punic influence is also limited because Roman culture supplanted the Punic ( Phoenician ) presence in the region after the Punic Wars, but some words have traceable Phoenician roots.
Examples of Phoenician-derived words / names in Italian include :

- persona ( person ) : Some linguists suggest this important cultural word has an ultimate origin in the Etruscan word phersu ( theater mask ), which may have been influenced by Phoenician, as it lacks a clear Indo-European root. The word passed from Phoenician to Etruscan to Latin and then to Italian.
- Place Names ( Toponyms ) : Several geographical names in Italy, particularly in Sicily and Sardinia where Phoenicians had settlements, have Phoenician origins:
- Cagliari : The capital of Sardinia, is thought to derive from a Phoenician name.
- Siracusa : ( Syracuse ) : In Sicily, the name is believed to have a Phoenician origin.
- Cartagine : ( Carthage) : The North African city's name ( Phoenician: Qart-ḥadašt, meaning " New City " ) is used in Italian.
- Ibiza : the island derives its name from Phoenician 𐤀𐤁𐤔𐤌, meaning " Dedicated to fertility god Bes ".
- Venezia ( Venice ) : Whilst the maritime superpower may have gotten its name from the Phoenicians, the city's inhabitants certainly developed shipping, navigational and trading skills like the Phoenicians.
- Palermo: The capital of Sicily was a Phoenician foundation with the original name Ziz.
- Cadice ( Cadiz ) : While in Spain, its Italian name is derived from the original Phoenician settlement name - Gadir.

Solomon's temple was . . . Phoenician
When Solomon sought to renovate his temple in Tanis ( the capitol of Lower Egypt during the 21st dynasty ), he turned to the King of Tyre for provide two things :
1 ) Assistance to renovate the Tanis Temple ( including architects, ceder, artisans and masons ).
2 ) Priests to enhance his temple cult
Solomon sacked the incumbent High Priest and replaced him with Zadok - a Phoenician from Tyre. Zadok would bring new spells and gods to help Solomon get what he desired : to become the most powerful king in the world.
Solomon's temple featured several Phoenician cues - including the two pillars entrance ( when one begins to be en-tranced ). Twin pillars were a hallmark of Phoenician temples, most notably the Temple of Melqart in Tyre, which Herodotus described as having two great pillars—one of gold and one of emerald. Twin pillar symbology continued to be used by the Knights Templar and later on, the Stone Cutter's cult.
In ancient Greek and Roman architecture, pillars were typically used in even-numbered rows ( 4, 6, or 8 ) to support a roof, whereas for the Phoenicians, a single pair of free-standing columns often served as a symbolic gateway. Romans preferred the grandeur of multiple rows of columns ( i.e. quadrastyle, hexastyle ) rather than the isolated twin-pillar motif. Unlike the Phoenician pillars, which represented the god or the " gates of the world ", Greek twin columns were almost always functional and part of a larger structural facade. For the Phoenicians, twin pillars were not just structural supports; they were deeply symbolic objects often made of precious materials.
In the inner temple court, was a massive basin known as the Sea of Bronze, supported by 12 bronze oxen. In Phoenician and Canaanite mythology, the Bull symbolised El or Baal ( a.k.a. god Saturn ).
The Temple's doors and walls were carved with cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, then overlaid with gold. These motifs are virtually identical to ivory carvings and temple decorations found in Phoenician archaeological sites ( in Samaria and Arslan Tash ). The " Open Flower " ( rosette ) and palm trees were sacred symbols in Phoenician art representing fertility and the " Tree of Life ".

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 was likely limited to merchants, craftsmen, elites and the elite's envoys.
Gods Saturn and Jupiter and their Phoencian and Greek influences
In the 3rd century BC, Rome absorbed aspects of Greek god Kronos into their god Saturn ( including Kronos' god of time / ' the god who decides your time is up ' aspect ).
But some mystery surrounds the earlier origins of Saturn. The Temple of Saturn is actually one of the oldest in Rome ( dedicated around 497 BC ). Saturn existence predates the later Greek influences. But was Saturn a purely Roman deity before the influence of Greek god Kronos ?
God Jupiter had a similar development path in Rome to Saturn. Jupiter began as an early Roman storm god. Then the Etruscans elevated Jupiter to be a high ranked Sky God. During the Republic period, as Rome interacted with Greece, Jupiter came to absorb aspects of Greece's god Zeus ( including being the son of Kronos / Saturn, being the father of time, and occupying a throne ).
During the Kingdom period, Rome was heavily influenced, by and for a time, ruled by the Etruscans. The Etruscans were close allies and trade partners of the Phoenicians and Phoenician Carthage.
Did Phoenicians shape ancient Roman society ? How did Phoenicians influence beliefs in one of Rome's most important gods ? Is a 3000 year old Phoenician priesthood controlling the Roman Catholic church today ?

Jesus in Phoenicia
Christian Gospels mention Jesus’ interactions with people in the lands formerly known as Phoenicia. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus travels to the region of Tyre and Sidon, where he performs miracles and engages with the local population. Another story involves a Syro-Phoenician woman who seeks his help to heal her daughter. This encounter reflects the broader cultural and religious interactions between the Jewish and Phoenician communities, illustrating the inter-connectedness of these ancient societies.
The gospel of Luke ( who we believe was a secret scribe for the xxxxx priests ) mentioned Tyre and Sidon ( Luke 4:26, 6:17 and 10:13 ). In his report to his superiors concerning the early church ( called the Acts of the Apostles ) Luke names Phoenicia several times : Acts 11: 19 ( believers scattered “as far as Phoenicia” ), Acts 15:3 - Paul and Barnabas travel through Phoenicia, and Acts 21:2 - Paul sails to Phoenicia. Luke accompanies St Paul on several mission, and appears to be very familiar with the region and was likely born in or near Phoenicia ( tradition says Antioch in Syria - 30 kms from the Phoenician coast ). He wrote in Greek and was believed to be a physician ( Colossians 4 : 14 ).

- Evidence of Phoenician-style goods, such as ivory carvings, ostrich eggs, and fine jewelry, have been found in Etruscan and early Roman tombs from this era.
- The Pyrgi Tablets are gold leaf inscriptions found at the nearby port of Pyrgi. They contain the same text written in both Etruscan and Phoenician, proving that Phoenician-speakers were living and doing business in central Italy alongside Rome’s closest neighbours

Which constellation was ‘ created ’ to be next to Aquarius ? The constellation was formally adopted in the 17th century at the same time as the Rosicrucian order was being created ( all important ' pieces of the puzzle ' put in place for the future creation of the new world order ). It’s not a coincidence that next to Aquarius is . . the Phoenix constellation - signifying that the time of XXXX's / Saturn’s restoration is : the Age of Aquarius. The Phoenix constellation sits above Aquarius' head, symbolising its dominion over the Aquarian Age. In Sydney Australia, which lies on the 33rd degree of latitude, you can see the Phoenix constellation in December when Santa / Saturn comes in his sky chariot.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the Order of the Phoenix is a secret organization ( led by old Dumbledore ) which fights Lord Voldemort. Fawkes, a phoenix, in The Chamber of Secrets, reinforces Harry's loyalty to Dumbledore. Who does Voldemort represent ? Jupiter the usurper god. ( the evil Lord in the eyes of Harry Potter and Saturnians ). Harry Potter is a modern day ' anti-Christ ' / anti-Jovian figure. J.K. Rowling's book is yet another mythical retelling of the Jupiter - Saturn cosmic conflict. Like Saturnians, Harry Potter and his fellow craftsmen, view Lord Voldemort as evil, just as the god of the Hebrews - YaH-Weh - is seen as evil by the neighbours of Israel ( i.e. a god who demands entire nations to be slaughtered, and endless sacrifices of virgins, cows and gold ). Lord Voldemort is referred to as " the One who Must Not Be Named " in a mirroring of the Hebrew's Lord YHWH, who responded to Moses' question - " what shall I say to the Israelites when they ask for your name ? " with the response : " I Am Who I Am " ( אֶ הְ יֶה אֲ שֶׁ ר אֶ הְ יֶה / ’ehye ’ăšer ’ehye ) - i.e. the one who must not be named. Harry Potter books are carefully crafted ' instruments ' designed to give children a narrative favorable to the Saturnian / XXXXXic side. The elites also use pop music and movies in the same way with teens and young adults - i.e. making the dark side . . . appealing.
The Roman emperor Septimius Severus had Punic / Phoenician ancestry *. Severus in the Harry Potter book series, is the protector of Harry.

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

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.1 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.
Ancient Ugarit was a cosmopolitan city during the second millennium B.C. It was an important Mediterranean port controlled by the Canaanites, who maintained wide-ranging contacts with the civilized world of the day. The polyglot nature of the community is reflected through the various vocabularies used in the tablets. Scribes translated the Ugaritic vocabulary into Sumerian, Akkadian and Hurrian. Besides these languages, some Cypro-Minoan tablets, as well as Egyptian and Hittite hieroglyphics were discovered. The archaeological discoveries at Ugarit revealed the existence of close contact between the Canaanite, the Creto-Mycenaean and the Peloponnesian civilizations. Ugarit poetry is related to Homeric poetry and Hebrew poetic texts. In the Old Testament, according to Professor Gordon, the Hebrews never called their language “Hebrew” or “Israelite,” but quite correctly “the language of Canaan.
In the O Globo article, Professor Gordon presented new data favoring an ancient hypothesis that the name “Brazil” is of Phoenician origin. His paleographic studies indicated that this name originated from the vocable brzl, used by the Canaanites to denote iron. Moreover, he firmly believed that in the land discovered by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral, in 1500, there was archaeological evidence of these transoceanic voyages, on ancient lapidary inscription.
The historiographer Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen, Viscount of Porto Seguro (1816-1878), Ladislau Netto, and the epigraphist and student of Brazilian prehistory, Bernardo de Azevedo da Silva Ramos (1858-1931) believed that ancient Phoenician navigators of the Mediterranean had landed on the Brazilian coast, and like Champolion’s decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphics, they claimed to have deciphered messages the navigators had left on the itacoatiaras, the Tupi name for these ancient Brazilian lapidary inscriptions.
Dr. Thor Heyerdahl, pondering that the truth lay between these two extremes, undertook a nautical adventure to demonstrate the possibility of navigating across the Atlantic Ocean, on a primitive papyrus craft, similar to those constructed by the ancient Egyptians. Departing on May 25, 1969, from the coast of Morocco in a vessel called Ra I, and carried by the winds and ocean currents, he sailed 2,662 nautical miles in 55 days, arriving close to the South American coast, 600 miles from Barbados. He repeated the adventure on the Ra II and, after navigating 57 days and traversing 3,270 nautical miles, reached Barbados, on July 12, 1970. These feats demonstrated that, during proto-historical times, America was far from being an inaccessible continent, as maintained by the isolationists. Heyerdahl demonstrated that with the prevailing westerly ocean currents and winds, this type of craft could reach the Americas a short two-months’ sail from the African coast and, even if a primitive papyrus vessel did not have a rudder, it would inexorably drift in the same direction, i.e., toward South America.
Could knowledge of the American continents, have been kept by the Phoenician XXXXX priesthood, and in time, used by the Knights Templar, who it is believed, sailed to the Americas after the 1307 destruction of their order by French King Phillip and the Catholic Church ?
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 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.

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.
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.
