" the origin of Phoenician blinds..."
The left overs from Atlantis.
They used to have to tie them to keep them up and so,
The tie that blinds.
I think my uncle in the 1940s had one similar he used to wear to bars.
Ba-dum crash!
Roman intervention in the Greek-Carthaginian Wars in Sicily led to the three Punic Wars.
Alright, Phoenician tombs are fairly rare.
Other colonies included Cadiz and Malaga in Spain, Tangiers in Morocco and Tripoli in Libya.And Mogador, etc.

Phoenicians are not Arabs, Israelis, or sub-Saharan (black) Africans;
Canaanites are Phoenician Canaanites, Punic (North African & Spain Phoenicians)

Quite common in Italy, even today. A good friend who grew up in the province of Molise described the artificacts he and some friends found in an Etruscan tomb. The Italian landscape is an archaeological museum. Artificats found are to be turned over to the 'Belle Arte".
Canaanites/Phoenicians are the ancient People of Lebanon who navigated the Mediterranean, invented the Alphabet and built Kings David and Solomon Palaces.
The Bible tells us about the first women who believed in Christianity and became the first convert outside the Jews to be a Phoenician women. From the Northern Phoenician ports Saint Peter left to Rome and built the first church there.
The fifth century witnessed the birth of Maronite Christianity. Saint Maroun (also Maron) found a refuge in the northern mountains of Lebanon, and a great portion of the Phoenicians/Lebanese became Christians and were called after him. Mronites later had a great contribution in Lebanese history, independence and culture. Gradually, the area named Phoenicia gave way to Mount Lebanon or simply Lebanon.

Good thing about those Phoenician blinds, too, because otherwise, it would be curtains for us all...
