Lebanon used to be majority Christian at some point.

You see pictures back before the civil war and can’t even fathom what a beautiful and diverse and peaceful place it was.

Most Muslims support terrorism.

Israel is driving all the Christians out of the Levant. Almost a million Palestinian Christians have fled the Holy Land and immigrated to the West.

Half-Phoenician, who BTW were all over the Mediterranean regions of Europe, North Africa, as well as the coastal regions of both continents along the Atlantic.

This often gets overlooked because they're barely mentioned in the Bible, and most Western History narratives tend to focus on Greece as the OG seafaring "civilization" who interacted with ancient Egyptians, and were the progenitors of Roman society.

reply

Interesting, I love ancient history. What country and which modern people are descendants of Phoenician today?

reply

You make a great point. The Arabs under Muhammad conquered most the Middle East and North Africa. And they spread the Arabic language and the Muslim religion.

But, they didn't kill all the indigenous peoples they conquered - like the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Moroccans blah blah blah. They just mixed with the locals.

Genetics. According to genetic studies performed on the Lebanese populace, the Lebanese people share more than 90% of their genetic makeup with the ancient Canaanites who lived 3,700 years ago.
