THE PHOENICIANS WERE HEBREW??? That's news to me! RED HEADED? I always was told the name was a reference to the die that made them rich. It came from a species of sea snail, I beleive. The phoenicians were the enemy of the hebrews. The hebrews conquered the canaanites and the phillistines. Afterwards, the canaanites split into two people. Part of them merged with the phillistines and became a new people, and what was left became known as the phoenicians. The phoenicians were a dispicable race. They had a perverse religion that practiced human sacrifice and worshipped sex and orgasms. The carthaginians were the same culture. THe romans were so disgusted and appalled by these perverts, that they exterminated the whole culture and "sowed their feilds with salt", so that their lands would never again support another human race. When these people were finally exterminated, the whole world was gleeful and celbrated the roman accomplishment.

You learn something every day. <ggg>.
>RED HEADED?
Yep.
>I always was told the name was a reference to the die that made them rich. It came from a species of sea snail, I beleive.
Maybe red dye, also?
>The phoenicians were the enemy of the hebrews.
Not uncommon. Just Hebrews fighting Hebrews. They were not just one tribe, far far from it. There is no such thing as just THE Hebrews.
>The hebrews conquered the canaanites and the phillistines. Afterwards, the canaanites split into two people. Part of them merged with the phillistines and became a new people, and what was left became known as the phoenicians. The phoenicians were a dispicable race.
They had a lot of aspects to their persona.
>They had a perverse religion
God thought the Israelites also had a perverse religion, both the Northern Kingdom (Lost Tribes) and the Southern Kingdom (Proto-Jews).
