Tracing the Canaanites to North America - Baal Worship Part Three

In the first two parts of this post, we traced the ancient Phoenicians who were the descendants of the Canaanites, outward from their homeland in Lebanon to the island of Sardinia, Northern Africa, Iberia (Spain), and even to the far reaches of the British Isles. They were master builders, great architects of megalithic buildings, and the renowned seaman with vast trade routes along the Mediterranean Sea.  They established colonies along their journeys and brought along their culture and belief systems. There is an enormous amount of research and information on the Phoenicians but it is too much to list here.  These people were a very advanced civilization.  They were the great merchants talked about in the old testament of the Bible.  Where did they learn this knowledge?

The Book of Enoch helps us answer this question....

CHAPTER VI.

1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' 3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl. 8. These are their chiefs of tens.

CHAPTER VII.

1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

CHAPTER VIII.

1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

We know from Genesis 6 that the nephilim were on the earth before the flood and also after that.  There are different opinions about how they came to the Levant after the flood, but we know from the Bible in Numbers 13:33 that they were again on the earth inhabiting the land of Canaan.  It is also important to realize that the ancient cities of Tyre and Sidon are not far from Mount Hermon, where 200 watchers (fallen angels) fell from heaven. 

It's no surprise that the Canaanites were advanced in their knowledge since they were the offspring of fallen angels and humans.  Is it possible that there was a second incursion and that's how the Nephilim were taught advanced mathematics, metallurgy, seamanship, and masonry?  Were they able to have contact somehow with other fallen angels to give them this knowledge? Remember only 200 angels fell on Mount Hermon before the flood. We know that 1/3 fell with Satan.  Did they have contact with the souls of the dead Nephilim?  I don't know all the answers to these questions, but we do know someone taught them advanced skills and we can only speculate as to who.

These things are important to understand as we trace the Phoenicians to North America because it helps to put the puzzle pieces together. 

For this post, I was fortunate enough to be able to ask Fritz Zimmerman a few questions about the Phoenicians and their connection to the Amorites. Mr. Zimmerman is an independent researcher, author, and antiquities preservationist. He has penned five books and I believe he is the most knowledgeable authority over the history of the Ohio mounds and earthworks.  He is the author of The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley and his latest work is Mysteries of Ancient America: Uncovering the Forbidden.  It was an honor to have him help me in my own research.  I will leave some links here and at the bottom if you are interested in his books.

According to the Bible there were many different tribes of the Nephilim in the Levant. But you believe that it was the Amorites that came to North America? Do you believe that the Phoenicians were the descendants of the Amorites or the same people? Thank you Mr. Zimmerman for doing this.

Yes, there is a connection with Amorites. The Phoenicians spoke in the Canaanite dialect which is the same as the Amorites. At what time Amorites are referred to (or become)  Phoenicians is difficult to pinpoint. I believe the Amorites were involved in long distant trading networks long before the Phoenicians.

Are the Amorites the same as the Raphaim? 
In my research, I have found connections between Baal and Tanit worship in Oklahoma. This was found at Spiro.

Tanit is depicted on this Shell Artifact from the Spiro Mounds, Oklahoma

Tanit is Punic that has a definite connection with the Phoenicians/ Amorites. Rephaim is a term that speaks more about the "spirit world."  The giant's spirits were to be "earth bound" which opens the door for paranormal activity at burial mound sites.

Is it possible that the Amorites or the remnants of traveled down the Mississippi River to settle in this area or had some interaction with the local people? Because I have found research that indicated Baal was worshiped in this area. Petroglyphs of Baal have been found on many rock facings.

The Amorites were canal builders. Canals for commerce, not irrigation have been found as far south as Missouri.  It would appear that they were possibly moving copper down the Mississippi River.  This would explain images off Baal  Would like to see this petroglyph.

Yes this is interesting. I believe it shows that they traveled through this area. With the giant skeletons found at the Spiro Mounds and a statement from an archeologists in the book Looting the Spiro Mound about the people having elongated skulls, it makes me wonder if there isn't a connection somehow.
You've got Tanit, a Canaanite goddess depicted on a shell from the mounds. Can I get your honest opinion?

I think you are on to something, but the problem is the date of 9th century.  It's to late.  You need to find info that the site was much older to fit your hypothesis.

With the above statement from Mr. Zimmerman, my research will continue on to try and link the Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma with the Amorites and Phoenicians, although you can't ignore the figure of Tanit, the Canaanite goddess, clearly depicted in the boat with the warriors.  It raises the question, were they influenced by the Amorites in some way?  But the Spiro Mounds are not the only focus of this post.  You can find traces of the Phoenicians all across North America. 

Great Circle Mound, Ohio

In my next post, I will discuss the great earthworks, sacred geometry, sacrificial alters, Phoenician artifacts, and Baal petroglyphs that are here in North America making it undeniable that the Canaanites did travel to our country and leave their mark.
