Re: The 'Old World''s History Reply #25 – 2014-04-20, 13:34:03 Quote from: jax on 2014-04-20, 13:27:45That map is a little misleading as they likely had a series of colonies, rather than a continuous landmass. This map from the China thread is better.Quote from: jax on 2014-03-17, 13:12:25Old-style colonies are not around that much anymore.By the way, the current-day Maltese seem to be of significant Phoenician stock (by DNA, a load of caveats apply).
Re: The 'Old World''s History Reply #26 – 2014-04-20, 13:40:52 What are the colours?Yellow seems to be about Poenicians, ? While the third (grey) seems to me reading "Google":lol:

Re: The 'Old World''s History Reply #29 – 2014-04-20, 14:06:42 Red is Greek colonies (which this map really is about), yellow is Phoenician colonies and cities and gray is other cities. I don't think it is fully complete on the Phoenicians, and definitely not on others, but the map is pleasing (here in full size).One of the gray cities, Rome, is soon going to have a significant role, or so I am told.

Atlantisians?:hehe: From cities in what today is Lebanon. Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted to Crete, according to Greek myth. The Greek alphabet comes from the Phoenician alphabet (the name Bible comes from the Phoenician city Byblos).
Re: The 'Old World''s History Reply #34 – 2014-04-20, 18:01:36 Quote from: Josh on 2014-04-20, 16:56:00Were they sorta prehistoric Jews? The Jews were living further south. Also note that since we know a lot about the Phoenician alphabet, that would imply they're not a part of prehistory — at least by the time the map is about. 1 Likes
Re: The 'Old World''s History Reply #35 – 2014-04-20, 18:34:29 If they were history, then what about their predecessors in the region? I know there was Egypt. But as well as I learned, they didn't travel far. And they're sorta on the edge of our territory - at least culturally -
Re: The 'Old World''s History Reply #36 – 2014-04-20, 18:38:56 And let's not forget about the other "end" -- India. Long ago - before those major ethnicity - the land was occupied by a different people -- who left both cultural heritage and elements of the further cultural basics. Right?Who's an expert? I read Wiki. Not recently...
