The whole history of North Africa, and consequently of all human civilisation, reeks of lies and manipulation. It stinks of sewage because it was written by the Vatican and France who systematically erased, destroyed, hid and burned all the writings of the North Africans like those of Arius (who is probably the famous MHMT quoted by Thomas Presbyter and which the forgers deformed into Mohamet) to quote only him. Then in the impossibility of destroying and concealing the archaeological traces in Carthage, Tigzirt, Cadiz etc., invented peoples of all kinds. They invented new peoples out of thin air. Thus, one of the North African civilizations dating from a thousand years before our era is attributed to an imagined Phoenician people, not a single person of whom has ever claimed to belong to this ethnic group, nor to speak a Phoenician language. No king has ever ruled over a so-called Phoenician people. Even in the poems of Homer, on which the French forgers have drawn their lies, there is no king, no government that is Phoenician. From this historical lie, the door is open to all that follows: colonisations and imaginary invasions. The creation of an Arab people (the Arabised Bedouin), backed by a religion, Islam, whose victims these criminals have metaphorised by force and then by trickery by declaring them all Muslims and Arabs.
All this is a good war
But what shocks me is that the North Africans, some with intellectual baggage that gives them a place in world-renowned universities, have never made the slightest rebellion to the official version written by the victor, as always to make him shine and debase the vanquished. Who of the North Africans has really researched the origin of this Phoenician people who landed without arms and baggage but who distort and disfigure all North African history?
Fortunately, once again, the science of genetics is coming to the rescue to restore the thread of a soiled and disfigured history.
Excerpt from a genetic study on the “Phoenicians”
These results indicate that autochthonous North African populations contributed substantially to the genetic makeup of Kerkouane. The contribution of autochthonous North African populations in Carthaginian history is obscured by the use of terms like “Western Phoenicians”, and even to an extent, “Punic”, in the literature to refer to Carthaginians, as it implies a primarily colonial population and diminishes indigenous involvement in the Carthaginian Empire. As a result, the role of autochthonous populations has been largely overlooked in studies of Carthage and its empire. Genetic approaches are well suited to examine such assumptions, and here we show that North African populations contributed substantially to the genetic makeup of Carthaginian cities. The high number of individuals with Italian and Greek like ancestry may be due to the proximity of Kerkouane to Magna Graecia, as well as key trans-Mediterranean sailing routes passing by Cap Bon (1, 28). Yet, surprisingly, we did not detect individuals with large amounts of Levantine ancestry at Kerkouane. Given the roots of Carthage and its territories as Phoenician colonies, we had anticipated we would see individuals with ancestry similar to Phoenician individuals, such as those published in (12). One possible explanation is that the colonial expansion of Phoenician city-states at the start of the Iron Age did not involve large amounts of population mobility, and may have been based on trade relationships rather than occupation. Alternatively, this could potentially be due to differential burial practices (although Phoenician burial practices were thought to have shifted from cremations to interments in the central and western Mediterranean around 650 BCE (29), predating the individuals in the study), or to a disruption in connections between Carthaginian territories and the Eastern Mediterranean, after the fall of the Phoenician city-states to Babylon. The Iron Age genomes from Sardinia give us a glimpse into the genetic impact of Carthaginian expansion. Sardinia was comparatively more homogeneous genetically through the Bronze Age than nearby continental regions, such as Iberia and Italy, perhaps due to its insular nature. During the Iron Age, the genomic data from Sardinia shows a rapid increase in heterogeneity in ways that mirror the affiliation of Sardinia as an important territory of Carthage, and later of Rome. In the early- and mid-Iron Age, many individual genomes from the island are similar to the North African population at Kerkouane, while in the late Iron Age, individuals are similar to individuals from mainland Italy and Sicily, reflecting Sardinia’s incorporation into the Roman Empire.
