Wrong in a sense. Caananites and Tophet. The Carthaginian people; their ancestors.

Carthage was a Phonecian city just as Sidon and Tyre are. The Romans called them “Puni”.
Like other Canaanites, they had children pass through fire for Moloch at Tophets. (Ironically, at the end of the Third Punic War, which was an extermination campaign by the Romans, surviving Carthaginians claimed to be Jews, since Israel was an ally of Rome against the Selucid Empire.
