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.

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.

Hi, they did sacrifice children for false gods, but eventually the child sacrifice stopped. They began sacrificing other stuff.

Phoenician is like punished and used for Jewish in the history and Phoenician are Jewish and punished by God for non entering to Jerusalem and this is their name punished ...but I don't know become Phoenician...or maybe d Latin language it's like that

Phoenicians were not jews, they were there before the prophet Abraham.

[@ilhandurmus]

@@MoeActual hhhhhhhh what is the date of Abraham almost 6500-7000 years ago but carthagian history you cant find before 4000 years...please be logic...Abraham BC 5000 and carthagina BC 1500 and Moussa BC 2000 which dates suitable. and after they pass through sea where they have gone ? first to Lebanon side and when they are back ? look Carthagian their origin is tyre Lebanon which confirms what I say :)

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.
