The Phoenicians remain one of the most enigmatic ancient civilizations, with historians and scholars prone to speculation and educated guesses. The Phoenicians were great writers, yet they left almost no documents. They may have been excellent sailors and naval commanders, yet they built no territorial empire. They were stellar artists, yet their work contains few original elements. They may have been clever builders, yet their monuments crumbled. And the Phoenicians were a single civilization, yet they were split into city-states.

Long live the Lebanese, the direct descendants of our Phoenico-Canaanite forbears in our little Levantine homeland of Lebanon (Kan.-Phoen. Pūt (𐤐𐤕), Gr. Phoiníkē (Φοινίκη)), the founders of Carthage who peopled her, from whom stemmed the illustrious general Hannibal Barca who all but conquered Republican Rome during the Second Punic War until the lion of Lebanon fell prey to the maw of the shewolf of the Tibur in the Maghreb.

[@blackreacher]

If Lebanese are not Blacks, you are not direct descendants. “The decree had little effect (ban of West African Muslims),” adds historian Toby Green in Inquisition: The Reign of Fear. Bribes and forged papers could get Jews to the New World with its greater opportunities. Slave traders largely ignored the order because West Africa Muslims often were more literate and skilled in trades, and therefore more valuable, than their non-Muslim counterparts. Ottoman and North African captives from the Mediterranean region, usually called Turks and Moors, respectively, were needed to row Caribbean galleys or perform menial duties for their Spanish overlords in towns and on plantations."

[@blackreacher]

"The Jamestown settlement that followed adopted a policy similar to that of the Spanish with regards to Muslims. Christian baptism was a requirement for entering the country, even for enslaved Africans, who first arrived in Virginia in 1619. In 1682, the Virginia colony went a step further, ordering that all “Negroes, Moors, mulattoes or Indians who and whose parentage and native countries are not Christian” automatically be deemed slaves."

[@darrinmagnus1]

@@blackreacher Hate to hurt your feelings, black boy, but DNA, which is the fingerprint of God Himself, doesn't lie, and it confirms that we Lebanese are indeed the direct descendants of the Ponnim, a branch of the indigenous Canaanites of the Levant, whom the Greeks called Phoinikes, and the Latins Poeni.

"I can’t attest to the Canaanite gods’ dog discovering purple, but the Canaanites did extract purple dye, which when left in the sun turns blue, from tens of thousands - millions - of various types of snails off the coasts of Lebanon and Syria about 3,500 years ago. The word “Canaan” might be etymologically connected to the Hurrian word, “Kanahu,” purple; and more certainly, “Phoenicia” means “purple land” in Greek. These Canaanites - later referred to as Phoenicians (purple people) - became known for this purple and blue dye, said to be worth more than its weight in gold, and they exported it extensively throughout the Mediterranean."

Agreed! According to the Bible the ancient Phoenicians were of Hamitic origin. The multiple statues and figurines hidden away at western museums show them to be dark pigmented people similar to their native African cousins. What is projected to the world as ancient Phoenicians are mostly modern artwork of white Caucasians or later figurines from the Greco-Roman period invasions. I viewed one article on the Phoenicians written by a white anthropologist, the article included several figurines of black faced and bodied individuals. When the issue of their ethnicity was addressed, he wrote that the idea of race did not exist in ancient time and their ethnicity didn't matter. Quite a laughable response from a so-called scientist.

[@appannaammanna6935]

Phoenicians were Tamils. They hail from India. They Migrated from India probably after the collapse of Indus Valley Civilization or much earlier than that. In Tamil they were called PANNIARS or PANIARS. PANI means to Produce in the Tamil language. They were experts in business and great navigators. There is a reference to these people in Rigveda. Rigveda refers to a people called PANAs. The Brahmins appreciated them. as they offered them a lot of tributes. In Tamil language Currency is called PANAM even to this day.

[@fomalhauto]

According to DNA studies Phoenicians were Levantine people like the Israelites. DNA studies show that Phoenicians and Israelties were so similar to the Canaanites that they seem to both stem from the Canaanites. They're not genetically similar to Indians.

[@appannaammanna6935]

@@fomalhauto Tamils went to west Asia some 4 to 5 thousand years ago. They got completely assimilated with the local population of the area. We can expect their DNA to be intact. Even otherwise how can we identify Tamil DNA.

There was never a phenician empire, these are independant city states that founded colonies just like the Greeks. Rightfully, the popular fake of they invented the alphabet is not mentioned here. The semitic alphabet was common to all the peoples of the area from middle bronze age. Probably they vehiculated it more than others beeing merchants

Lebanese are not original Phoenicians, Sorry no way! Only Semites to mix with the Canaanites were the Akkadians and Amorites this is not unique to Lebanese people.

@moath sabrie Philistines were an industrious, innovative Iron Age civilization that grew rich from selling olives and dying cloth, and developed sophisticated metal tools and olive crushing machines. The Philistines occupied Ashkelon from 1175 B.C. to 604 B.C. , when the city was sacked by the neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. The artifacts that archaeologists have turned in Ashkelon from the Philistine period shows that Philistines were a very advanced people. Philistines were decorating their ceramics with designs similar to those produced in Mycenaean Greece, the civilization that defeated Troy in Homeric legend. The Ekron Inscription is the oldest text to be identified as "Philistine". It is a royal dedication inscription found in the ruins of a temple during the 1996 excavations of Ekron . Dated to the 7th century B.C. and written in Philistine script in what is thought to be a Phoenician language. ❤🇵🇸❤🇵🇸❤🇵🇸

The funny thing is that you aren't entirely wrong. Most people back then spent their days out in the sun all day, so most folks came in darker colors.
