Yes. In my opinion they where the sea people or actually the Hittites they where Canaanites.

I learned something very disturbing yesterday. The meaning of the word Pope.
Melchizedek or priest most high is "Your Elohim" leader of God's angels greater then Archangel Michael

Chief high priest is Pontifex Maximus which is the official meaning of the Pope.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Yes, but I don’t think Melchizedek or Abram spoke Latin at their encounter. The language at that time \might\ have been Aramaic.

Melchizedek can also be spoken of as the “priest of all priests” or “priests above all priests”.

[Oratam]

Pontifex Maximus means ‘chief bridge builder’ and was the title of the chief of the Roman priesthood in pagan times. Make of that what you will.
