>> Here, they said that the rarity of purple made it the mark of royalty. I see it the other way around as in = being a mark of royalty is the reason purple was created/produced by the Phoenicians. It is correct that people from Sidon resettled and founded Tyre = Sur. Sidon is considered as the mother city of Tyre = Sur; just like Tyre is considered as the mother city of Carthage.

By the time 5th century B.C. came, the cult of Astarte = the Evil Lady had already entered in the Phoenician City-States. Astarte was a goddess of the Sidonians but not THE goddess of the Sidonians. As we’ve already seen the Patron of Sidon = it’s the god Eshmun (starting page 1 426). Eshmun was the god of Sidon, the primary god and the patron of the City-State for thousands of years. He had a temple inside of the royal citadel and we’ve already seen his temple outside of the city walls. His cult is probably as old as the City-State itself. The cult of Astate was “introduced” or should I say “injected” at a much later date into Sidon. So saying Astarte is THE goddess of the Sidonians, is totally wrong and a lie. She was A goddess but not THE chief deity there.

The mother of Eshmun-azar was a priestess of Astarte so does this mean the cult of the Evil lady was practiced there? The answer is NO. Because we didn’t find any of the signs in Sidon indicating the sacred prostitution was practiced or children sacrifice occurred there. I honestly think the situation in all Phoenician City-States were similar to what the situation was in Arwad and Aleppo = there was laws forbidding the practice of human sacrifice in City-State territory which consisted of the City-State itself and a territory under its jurisdiction where there were many small villages. And we think the cult of Astarte in Phoenicia was her cult merged with the cult of Neith = the younger generation confused both queens and thought they were one and the same deity. We think that because of the clothing of Astarte = fully clothed with a veil covering her entirely replaced her nude form; while the myths and legends of Astarte were kept. This merger of both female deities occurred in all the City-States of the area and this is why there are so many mutated aspects of the Evil Lady, with local characteristics.

The competition between the Phoenician City-States is true and it did exist for a long time. I’ve mentioned this before. As for “Astarte the name of the Lord” is absolutely correct = she was a Lord = a Sebetti ruler after all = One of the original 7 rulers of Atlantis before she turned evil.

Lord of Sidon….Eshmun and Baal. We couldn’t figure out if we are talking about 2 deities here or about one….that is….until I came to this board. Let me repeat it one more time = Eshmun is the patron deity of Sidon, there is no question about that since his temple was placed inside the walls of the citadel = a privilege only given to the patron deity of a City-State. The temple we saw on page 1 426 is extra muros = outside the city walls and it was built there due the curative waters of river Awwali.

We wondered as archaeologists for a long time if Baal in Sidon is not the thunder god whom had a regular temple in Sidon, while Eshmun was the Major deity = patron deity of Sidon = god of healing. Two different gods with 2 different attributes and characteristics, each having a temple in the city. They were polytheists after all, right?

Now this was submitted to re-evaluation:

1 -The Crown Prince had the Light in him just like it was the case of the King of kings. He had a high Holy Spiritual power just like his Father did. This means he could HEAL just like his Father used to, using the Spiritual power he had.

2 - The King of kings was also the head = the chief of the FISH MEN = the spiritual healers. At His death, the Crown Prince became the head of the Fish Men.

3 - Baal means Lord, it can be used as a name, but in this case, it’s clear it’s used to point to a ruler which had the power of healing = Eshmun. The word Baal when usually used by the Phoenicians to refer to a deity, it’s either the ThunderBird warriors or refers to the Higher God = I believe it’s a Sebetti ruler.

4 - We don’t have any type of iconography or symbol of the god Eshmun at all = we simply don’t know what he looked like. All we know about him is that he was a healer god. It was forbidden to have an image = iconography of the Sebetti rulers and we don’t even know their names, so I doubt Eshmun is the name of a Sebetti ruler. I see it more like an epithet indicating his healing power.

5 - Sidon city name means = the fisher town or the fishermen town.

6 – According to Main Stream History, the earliest human presence in Sidon dates back to 1.76 Million B.C. – that is if you believe the Main Stream History timeline. I don’t agree with the given date. When the survivors came out of the Ark, they wandered around in the Armenian Plateau. Some of them then resettled in the Taurus mountain range as long as the water level was high. When the water receded, they came down from the mountains and resettled, some into Mesopotamia and some went West to the East Coast of the Mediterranean Sea = Phoenicia.

It’s incredibly hard with what I have so far as information to determine which is older Gebal/Byblos, Sidon or another Phoenician City-State. It doesn’t matter to me at this stage which is the oldest; it can be determined later. For now, with what I’ve got, my chronological evaluation place the Phoenician City-States at 10 000 B.C. and maybe a bit beyond that. It’s not accurate, I’m not certain of it. It’s just an estimation with the information I’ve got so far, which is shared with anons here, like the age of Ancient Egypt before the formation of the 2 kingdoms and Gobekli Tepe and when the Ark MIGHT have landed on Mt Ararat. This is uncertain, it’s just an evaluation from the old man. At least this is one of the possibilities. I will be talking about this much later in this thread. Look, I see it as we have 2 options here: either the dinosaurs are as old as us, or we are as old as the dinosaurs. For now, I don’t see us being out of the Ark for millions of years.

If I combine all 6 previously stated points together, I get a clear image despite having gaps in the puzzle = the one we know as Lord Eshmun in Sidon is actually the Crown Prince whom seems to have lived there for some time. I’m saying this because the Evil Lady attacked ALL the Phoenician City-States (in plural). This means 2 things:

1 – She didn’t know in which City-State the Crown Prince was.

2 – While all 3 Sebetti rulers were alive there were more than 1 Phoenician City-Stated already founded.

The healing power of Eshmun is the Holy Spiritual powers inside the Crown Prince. The fact we don’t have a single iconography of Eshmun which’s cult must have been around for thousands of years, is because it was forbidden to have an image of the Sebetti rulers or know their real name. It’s also very highly possible, since the Crown Prince became the new head of the Fish Men and was living in Sidon for some time, that the town was named after the Fish Men Spiritual Healers. It had a double meaning as a fishing town and as the town founded by the Fish Spiritual Healers.

If you think this is farfetched….then remember Christ and whom he picked to be his disciples = fishermen. And what did he say to them back then? = “follow me and I will make you fisher of men.” Christ made his disciples Spiritual healers = the Fish Men we see in the reliefs of Mesopotamia and in the Dogon legends.

If you believe this or not will be up to you. In this second part of this section, FAITH, your FAITH will play a big part if you believe what I write or not. It’s up to you.

Let’s continue where I left off with Sidon Wikipedia page:

“Persian and Hellenistic periods

Like other Phoenician city-states, Sidon suffered from a succession of conquerors, first by the Persian Achamenid empire in the 6th century BC, ending with its occupation by Alexander the Great in 333 BC, and the start of the Hellenistic era of Sidon's history. The Persian influence seems to have been profound, as is observed in the change of the architectural style of the city. Under the successors of Alexander, it enjoyed relative autonomy and organised games and competitions in which the greatest athletes of the region participated. In the Hellenistic-period necropolis of Sidon, important finds such as the Alexander Sarcophagus, the Lycian tomb and the Sarcophagus of the Crying Women were discovered, which are now on display at the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul.”

>> These sarcophaguses and other artifacts should be returned to their rightful owner = place of origin.
