Phoenitians or Hellens

"

Dear  Phallanx

I have found that your's conlusions as strange ,when you saing  is
about Phoenitians are  because if we comporate follow quote from
the link what is talkig about Poenitians migrations at Europe ,where it
does state this:

quote:

--------------

'Phoenician' means 'red haired'. The Phoenicians and the Carthaginians
expanded all across North Africa and western Europe. They pushed past
the Straits of Gibraltar and founded the city of Gades (present day
Cadiz) in Spain. While active in Spain, these Phoenician/Carthaginian
descendants are called 'Celtiberians' by archaeologists. Later, some
sailed away from Spain and colonized the British Isles, where they are
simply called 'Celts' by archaeologists. In their migrations throughout
the Mediterranean, these Celts picked up a number of different
languages and alphabets. These languages and writing systems were in
use by different Celtic groups at different times. Memories of some of
these scripts were retained up until the medieval period in Ireland.
The Book of Ballymote, believed to have been composed about 1200 A.D.,
gives an alphabet, described as 'African'. Until recently, scholars
considered that this 'African' script was some sort of cryptic monkish
secret alphabet, or maybe just gibberish, but since 1960 this alphabet
has been shown to be an actual ancient North African one in use about
1000 B.C." [Fell, America B.C.] - Michael Bradley, Holy Grail Across

First of all I suggest you start quoting someone that CAN translate what he reads instead of this twit

Quote:

According to the Persians best informed in history

Herodotus, doesn't say that. He clearly uses the words:

"Perseon men nun oi logioi"

 that means:

"The Persian wise men"

NO reference to best informed as you think.

Quote:

This people ,who had formely dwelt on shores of the erythraean Sea
,having migrated to the Mediterranean ....,avantures,voyages..wares of
Egipt and Assyria ....They landed at many places on the coast ...now
under the commonn name of Hellas .

---------------------------------------------------------- -- --------------------

This people i.e no named tribes from Erythrerian lans origin

what had got one of it's name's what they claime as their national

name of Hellens as far as they arrived at someone else space

Do you understand what you're reading??????

The "This people........... of Hellas"

has NOTHING to do with the Hellines, Herodotus is repeating what the
Persian wise men told him about the origin of the Phoenicians and NOT
the Hellines.

and Herodotus is talkink just,what been told by Persians  about it what is 

about origin of Hellenes ,not the Phoenitians as you are saying .

It could be acceptible only that twist is over the meaning of line

"Perseon men nun oi logioi"

 that means:

"The Persian wise men"

not as Presian best informed in history 

what does not make any changes to the whole story .

If Origin of the Canaanites is at supposed North Erythrerian Sea coast ,then 

Origin of the Hellens  yet  should be  at the South Erythrerian Sea coast .
