Were the Phoenicians the origin of the aryan race? They're responsible for the alphabet, half of the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses, the first maritime empire, glass, the swastika, Pythagoras, the theory of the atom, and much more. Their closest modern-day ancestors, the Lebanese christians, seem to clearly by the whitest of the Middle Eastern ethnicities, enough to consider them more Mediterranean than Arab. What does Sup Forums think? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm genuinely curious about the most interesting and least-mentioned race of ancients, at least on this board. They even started the tradition of wearing those tall slender hats that the bishops currently wear. Not to mention the sunken ruins in the Mediterranean are often hidden by Egypt and Israeli government---the fuck is going on with these Phoenicians? They even created the phoenix for God's sake, the masonic image of rebirth. Who the hell are these guys, and why do they have the swastika (also known as Sun Cross)?
