Carthage is not mentioned in the Bible.

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

Just looking through my Bible here, I don’t see the land that Carthage was in isn’t in any of the maps until they show Paul’s mission trips. Those would be after Christ’s death and resurrection.

Maybe this guy set out to prove the Bible wrong, but picked the wrong city. Or maybe the reporter doesn’t have his facts straight. I can’t believe a reporter could be wrong, though.

Carthage was founded by the Phoenicians ~ they invented the alphabet.

Phonecia is mentioned under later names as Canaan, Israel, Judea, Syria, Tyre, Sidon, Byblos, and Arvad
