I remember reading an article in the early to mid-1980s in I believe "The
Smithsonian" magazine (altho it could have been "The National Geographic"
which I also got at the time), in which the showed (with many photos and
drawings) studies which lead the researchers to conclude that the
infamous "Bimini Road" (of Edgar Cayce fame) was really a Phoenician
seaport, that it pointed to a time when the Phoenicians were a great
seafaring power, coinciding with a time when sea levels were lower....
The 'road' actually being a seawall, along which ships docked...
Not long after that, I read an article in "The Biblical Archeology
Review" which pointed out how little we actually know about Phoenicia and
its people (the article was positing a question as to why ancient Israel
was the only country on the Mediterranean who seemingly never had a navy,
or even plied commerce via water, and concluded that Phoenicia was indeed
Israel's 'navy'....)
Which, if true, and if Phoenicians made it to the New World, would give
new life to the 'lost tribes came to America' theories... ;-)
