Semitic Empires Part 3: Phoenicia

The Phoenician Empire. The Phoenicians. NOTE: In the video, I do not mention the inhabitants of Canaan before Amorite migration, since they left little to no trace at all of their existence, unlike the Sumerians in Mesopotamia. However it is most probable that the "original" inhabitants were Somalids, carrying E1b1b Y-DNA and Arabid Syrids carrying J2 Y-DNA. J2 Y-DNA is an offshoot of the original J Y-DNA that most likely orignate from the Yemen highlands some 30000BC. A group of J moved north towards the Fertile Crescent; mutating and evolving into J2. Bertil Lundman describes them as the Syrid subrace of the Arabids. Those who remained in the Peninsula became J1 during the desertification era. Some J1s like the Amorites and the Akkadians migrated North in the 3rd millenia BC. They intermixed with the Arabid J2 population thus giving birth to Semitic civilisation as we know it. Proto-Semitic originates with J1 Y-DNA.
