Phoenicians around 2000 BC built the sacrificial complex at North Salem, New Hampshire, now billed as America's Stonehenge, which remained in use and operation as late as some 100-300 AD.

Supposedly they voyaged to the cornish tin mines.

Tyre? Alexander cleaned them out. Was this not written about the king of Tyre?

Check out Ezekiel 28:

I have a friend from Lebanon - who by the way insists he is NOT Arab - he is Phoenician.

He says, that whenever you see a man from the Mediterranean region, whether from Lebanon, or Greece, or Italy, or France, Spain, Egypt etc. If he is short, pudgy and bald, "he is one of us", says my friend.

It's kinda funny, but it may be true.

The account here of the journey of Hanno does not make sense to me.

After passing out of the Mediterranean through the Pillars of Hercules, he comes to Cerne, which is supposed to be Somalia? That's on the wrong side of the continent. Then he goes to Western Africa (Gambia or Cameroon) and captures gorillas? Did he take the trans-African highway?

Nashville, where they made that album.

I had a friend from Rumania...he said there is an old Rumanian expression ... someone does a favor for someone else and the statement "How can I ever thank you" is made.

The reply is something to the effect of "not a problem, ever since the Phonecians invented money".

What furthermore speaks in his favor, is that no one believed his accounts of Amazons and a man-made canal between the Nile and the Red Sea, until archeologists proved both actually existed.

Archeologists proved that Amazons existed? Great Hera!

Thanks, very interesting post. I have become increasingly convinced that the Phoenicians and Carthaginians are a key to putting together some of the missing pieces in the story of pre-Columbian America. One question I have on that which I'm hoping you or someone else out there may have some info on: are there any American Indian tribes that scholars have suggested have linguistic or cultural similarities to the Phoenicians? I've noticed a few things among the American Indians that stike me as reminiscent of Scythian/Celtic culture, which has led me to wonder if possibly these traits may have been transmitted to America via Phoenician trade. Any thoughts/links?

[Cronos]

Wasn't there something about one of the sources of King Solomon's temple treasures (Ophir) being on the West coast of india -- a land traded through the Red Sea? I think it would be pretty certain that the Phoenicians would have had trading posts in the Gulf of Aqaba to trade with Yemen, Ethiopia, East Africa and West India.

?By far the greater number were women with shaggy bodies whom our interpreters called gorillas.? They were unable to catch any of the men, but caught three women, ?who bit and mangled those who carried them off.? Hanno?s men decided to kill them and take but their skin to Carthage.

So the Phonecians made it all the way to the SF Bay Area...

I don't know, but they could have gone allot further had they phoened ahead.

Sierra Vista is the third largest metro area in Arizona and only a three hour drive from Phoenix, but most people from Phoenix have never heard of it. lol

[decimon]

So, the Street of Magelaen, named after the Portuguese explorer, south of the African continent may have to be called Phoenician Street.

Street!?
