They don't want you to see their original Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Syrians, Chaldeans, Cushites, Hamites, and Moabites, and the list goes on and on.

We are building over ancient Phoenician and Greek ruins.
This is the guardian of the South.12:22In ancient Phoenician, this entity was called Ningishzida.
Bridgman-Metchum argues that many Mediterranean cultures, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans, incorporated aspects of Atlantean mythology into their own religious systems.
We can trace it back through various cultures until we reach the ancient Egyptians and early forms of the Phoenician, Hebrew, and Cushite scripts, but beyond this, the historical trail fades.
According to the Phoenicians, the art of writing was invented by Taautus, known to the Egyptians as Thoth, or "the first Hermes." This figure is associated with Maia, a daughter of Atlas, and the Maya of Central America (Baldwin's "Prehistoric Nations," p.
The transition from picture-writing to a phonetic system is exemplified by the Phoenician alphabet, which originated from hieroglyphics but evolved to meet practical needs.
The Maya "o" resembles the circular forms used in Phoenician and other alphabets.
Phoenician Influence: It was once believed that the Phoenicians brought bronze to Europe, but recent arguments challenge this view.
Differences in ornamentation, burial practices, and the known use of iron by the Phoenicians suggest otherwise.

The Greeks, Phœnicians, and Hebrews share common deities and linguistic roots, suggesting an Atlantean origin.
It was the symbol of symbols, the mystical Tau, 'the bidden wisdom,' not only of the ancient Egyptians but also of the Chaldeans, Phœnicians, Mexicans, Peruvians, and of every other ancient people commemorated in history, in either hemisphere, and is formed very similarly to our letter T, with a roundlet, or oval, placed immediately above it.
If the alphabet of the Phœnicians is kindred with the Maya alphabet, as I think is clear, then the Phœnicians were of the same race, or of some race with which the Mayas were connected; in other words, they were from Atlantis.
Now we know that the Phœnicians and Hebrews were of the same stock, used the same alphabet, and spoke almost precisely the same language.
The Phœnicians preserved traditions, which have come down to us in the writings, of Sanchoniathon, of all the great essential inventions or discoveries which underlie civilization.
If, then, the original seat of the Hebrews and Phœnicians was the Garden of Eden, to the west of Europe, and if the Phœnicians are shown to be connected, through their alphabets, with the Central Americans, who looked to an island in the sea, to the eastward, as their starting-point, the conclusion becomes irresistible that Atlantis and the Garden of Eden were one and the same.
"In fact," says one writer, "this form of temple (the flat-topped) has been found from Mesopotamia to the Pacific Ocean." The Phœnicians also built pyramids.

The Phoenicians: soft frame for Cabrera’s Hivite / Cadmus-serpent reading of Chivim.
Ignatius Donnelly, in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, argues that the gods of the Phoenicians were, like the gods of the Greeks, the remembered kings of Atlantis.
The full chapter is on https://drumsofatlantis.com/book/atlantis-the-antediluvian-world/the-gods-of-the-phoenician-also-kings-of-atlantis.
In Donnelly's reading, the Phoenician cosmogony gives the Titans (Rephaim) an origin in the gods Agrus and Agrotus, which ties the Phoenicians to the island in the far west where the Greeks placed the Titans.
Ouranos marries his sister Ge, and the Phoenician text Donnelly quotes gives their sons as "Ilus (El), who is called Chronos, and Betylus (Beth-El), and Dagon, which signifies bread-corn, and Atlas (Tammuz?)".
The Phoenician legends, Donnelly notes, also name Poseidon (see https://drumsofatlantis.com/poseidon), the founder and king of Atlantis.
For Donnelly the names line up with Plato: Autochthon, Atlas and Poseidon appear in both, and Plato's kings Mestor and Mneseus "are probably the gods Misor and Amynus of the Phoenicians".
Sanchoniathon also says the Cabiri wrote down the records of the past at Taaut's command and handed them to foreigners, among them Isiris (Osiris), "the brother of Chua, who is called the first Phoenician." From this Donnelly infers that the inventions in Sanchoniathon came from an older race from whom the Phoenicians may have descended.

In the ancient Phoenician-Canaanite system, the word for Saturn was El.
Note: this connection appears in Philo of Byblos (1st–2nd century CE), who reports that the Phoenician god El/Elus was equated with Kronos.
In the original Phoenician-Canaanite system, El was not the name for Saturn.
The Canaanites were known for their cities, trade networks, and the development of the Phoenician alphabet, which greatly influenced later alphabets.

Archaeology around Phoenician and Carthaginian tophets adds a labeled debate about infant sacrifice.

Moreover, it displayed a matchless swiftness by means of its breath, without feet, hands, or any other external members by which the other animals make their movements.
