The Bible is no coincidence that it speaks of ET-RUSCHI (calling them TARSHISH)
Etruscan = Tartarian???
Biblical Phoenicia – Venice, the mighty Republic of Venice. According to the Bible the ‘ancient’ Phoenicia was a powerful maritime state reigning over the entire Mediterranean and establishing its colonies in Sicily, Spain and Africa. The ‘ancient’ Phoenicians traded heavily with the far away countries (Ezekiel, ch.27).
About Ezekiel ch. 27
Tyre sits at the entrances to the seas and trades with many isles. Tyre was the major Phoenician city though Sidon was also important. Arvad and Gebal (Byblos) were also Phoenician cities. The Phoenicians were a mixture of people who in the later stages of their history identified themselves as Canaanites. The Phoenicians established colonies in North Africa, France, Spain, and according to Tacitus also in western and northern Europe. They mined tin on Cornwall. Carthage in North Africa was a Phoenician colony first settled by refugees from Tyre. Carthage was destined to become mighty empire in its own right and wage several wars with Rome, known as the “Punic” wars. According to Professor Manasheh Harel (“Yechezkiel”, Davidson): The four major branches of the Phoenician economy were (a) ship-building; (b) dyes, especially blue and purple dyes, for wool and linen fabrics; (c) fishing; (d) trading.
Trading was the most important activity. International trading activities included the exchange of animals (sheep, goats, horses, mules); agricultural products for food, clothing, and balm; luxury goods such as precious stones, gold and silver products, and ivory carvings; Metals such as iron, copper, tin, and lead; slaves from all over the world. The most important metal in use was bronze which is an alloy of copper and tin. Most of the tin came from Britain and the Phoenician monopoly on trade in tin was important.
