Phoenicians around 2000 BC built the sacrificial complex at North Salem, New Hampshire, now billed as America's Stonehenge, which remained in use and operation as late as some 100-300 AD.

Good post! In the past five years wrecked Pheonician vessels have been found off the coast of South America. There are web sites that claim they might have reached England as well. Vikings and Pheonicians were marvelous boat builders and accomplished sailers.

They operated the tin mines in Cornwall and the Scilly Isles for some 2000 years, c2400- c 400 BC.

So how far did the Phoenicians really go in the region?
Did they really make it to Gary, Indiana?

No, I post only from memory, not sources, but I am reasonably sure you could google for America's Stonehenge.
Excellent book by Imbrogno about Celtic Mysteries in New England,
The Phoenicians often brought Celtic laborers over from Tarshish [Tartessos] in southern Iberia, to America in those days.

Tyre? Alexander cleaned them out. Was this not written about the king of Tyre?
Check out Ezekiel 28:
To: Chris Talk
Excellent, thanks for the information.
Have you heard anything about descendants of these "Celtic laborers" wanting reparations from descendants of the Phoenicians?

I have a friend from Lebanon - who by the way insists he is NOT Arab - he is Phoenician.
He says, that whenever you see a man from the Mediterranean region, whether from Lebanon, or Greece, or Italy, or France, Spain, Egypt etc. If he is short, pudgy and bald, "he is one of us", says my friend.
It's kinda funny, but it may be true.

"Scientists and engineers estimate that it would have required 10,000 men 1,000 years to develop the extensive operations carried on throughout the region. It is estimated that 1.5 billion pounds of copper were mined by these unknown people."

"If he is short, pudgy and bald, "he is one of us", says my friend." That does not fit my image of Phoenicians...
