	Phoenician Religion -- Pagan
		Incidentally, it is also interesting to observe that Baal Hammon in his Eastern Phoenician form -- spear in hand, wearing a high tiara, his hair curling up on his neck -- has not yet made his appearance at Carthage, at a time we have already met him on stelae at Sulcis and Motya (8).
		A representation of Baal Hammon was discovered in the sanctuary at Hadrumetum excavated in 1946-47 by P. Cintas.
		Faithful to his Asiatic origins, however, Baal Hammon remained exacting, and the tophets at Carthage, Hadrumetum and Cirta have revealed to their excavators an impressive quantity of offerings.

		Ba‘al Hammon, the supreme god of Carthage is generally identified by modern scholars either with the northwest Semitic god El or with Dagon, neither of whom are normally called Ba‘al in the eastern Mediterranean, so far as is known.
		A reminiscence of Ba‘al as a title of a local fertility god (or referring to a particular god of subterraneous water) may occur in the Talmudic Hebrew prhases field of the ba‘al and place of the ba‘al and Arabic ba‘l used of land fertilised by subterraneous waters rather than by rain.

		Rams are sacred to Baal-Hammon and Baíal Karnayin, goats to Baal Gad, and flies to Baal-Zebul, whom Christian syncretized with their Devil as Beelzebub, Lord of Flies.
		Baal rules wind, rain, thunderstorms, lightning, war, vegetation, springs, arable land, the seasons, autumn and winter rainstorms, the agricultural cycle, and fertility.
		As Baal Shamim (also spelled Shamen, Shamem, Shamin, Shamayim, and Shamain), he is Lord of the Heaven, Lord of the Assembly, Lord of the Skies, and Bearer of Thunder.

		The contest described in 1 Kings 18.1–45 between the "prophets of the Ba‘al" and the "prophets of the Asherah" on one side and Elijah as prophet of Yahweh on the other in the context of a drought might suggest that the question is partly about which god actually sends rain.

	Phoenician Religion -- Pagan
		Baal Hammon was still a celestial god, but he became also, or reverted to being a god of the earth -- at once a sky and solar deity and a productive and fertilising one.
		Baal (Hadad) is regularly denominated "the son of Dagan," although Dagan (biblical Dagon) does not appear as an actor in the mythological texts.
		Baal (ba'al), plural Baalim (ba'allm) [Semitic,= possessor], name used throughout the Old Testament for the deity or deities of Canaan.

	Baal - TheoWiki
		As Ba`al Hammon or Ba`al Khamon, he is the chief Carthaginian god of sky and vegetation, depicted as a bearded older man with curling ram's horns, perhaps a merging of ´El and Ba`al.
		Ba`al is often depicted striding forward, wearing a horned helmet and short wrap kilt, carrying a mace and spear or lightning-bolt staff.
		Ba`al is the god most actively worshipped in Canaan and Phoenicia, the Storm God, source of the winter rain storms, spring mist, and summer dew which nourish the crops.

	· Darkness -> Biblical Monsters
		Although some demonologists have associated his name with the Egyptian god Ammon, it is more plausible its derivation from the Semitic god Baal Hammon, also worshipped in some areas of northern Egypt that had been in contact with Semitic tribes.
		but demons, other gods, and monsters were part of the daily lives in the times the oldest texts were written so they naturally should appear in there.
		In Chaldean mythology the alal were demons that came from Hell taking diverse appearances with the purpose of inducing men to sin.

	Phoenician Religion -- Pagan
		Baal Hammon was still a celestial god, but he became also, or reverted to being a god of the earth -- at once a sky and solar deity and a productive and fertilising one.
		The attributes assembled in this deeply religious scene thus symbolise the celestial and solar nature of this Baal Hammon to whom the People offered such valuable sacrifices, as well as his fertilising and productive properties.
		Prayers were for a regular rhythm of the seasons, particularly rain, to bring abundant harvests of corn, olives and fruit, and productive flocks.

		Baal Amon (or Hammon) is derived from the Egyptian god Amon.
		Melicertes may be linked with the Phoenician god Melqart (the Canaanite Baal of Tyre, sometimes called Baal Amon), which brings us to the second tradition.
		Melicertes' body was carried by dolphins to his uncle Sisyphus of Corinth, who founded the Isthmian games in his honor.

	Canannite Deities
		The Baal of the Bible is most often Baal Shamim, "Lord of the Skies." In Carthage, a colony of the Phoenicians, the people worshipped Baal Hammon or Ammon, a sky and fertility god whose symbol was the ram.
		The god of the Semitic nomad tribe of Zebulon was the "Fly," or Beel-Zebul, Lord of Zebulon, often mistakenly called Beelzebub.

	Baal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The worship of Ba`al Hammon flourished in the Phoenician colony of Carthage.
		Ba'al Hammon was the supreme god of the Carthaginians and is generally identified by modern scholars either with the northwest Semitic god El or with Dagon, and generally identified by the Greeks with Cronus and by the Romans with Saturn.
		Certainly some of the Ugaritic texts and Sanchuniathon report hostility between El and Hadad, perhaps representing a cultic and religious differences reflected in Hebrew tradition also, in which Yahweh in the Tanach is firmly identified with El and might be expected to be somewhat hostile to Ba’al/Hadad and the deities of his circle.

	The Story of the Algonquian Indians
		The chief Carthaginian and Phoenician god, Baal Hammon, was Lord Amon, sun-god of Egypt as conceived in Thebes, mother-city of Siwa."

	The Luciferian - Bavarian - Alien Collaboration in Prophecy
		Carthage was in North Africa [currently part of the Islamic world] and the chief god of Carthage was Baal-Hammon (Hogue 1997 at 177).
		These complexes are purportedly connected with a series of underground caverns such as those discussed in "The Shaver Mystery", a series of articles written in the late 1940's described by Richard Toronto writing in FATE Magazine [ http://www.fatemag.com] as follows:
		If so, many of Nostradamus's quatrains that phophesy an Islamic army running rampant through Europe become much easier to imagine for the immediate future-- Hogue supposes that such an invasion of Europe by the end of the century is a virtual impossibility.

	Carthage, Tunisia: Tophet with child sacrifice
		The Tophet lies next to a sanctuary dedicated to Baal Hammon and Tanit, but from this, little remains.
		The name 'Tophet' is not the original name, but comes from the Biblical name for sanctuaries of child sacrifice in the Middle East.
		Most modern archaeologists agree that child sacrifice was performed by the Carthaginians at the spot of the Tophet, just a few hundred metres from the Punic port.

	Moloch
		Moloch is also identified with Baal Hammon in Carthaginian religion.
		Moloch was the god of the Ammonites, portrayed as a bronze statue with a calf's head adorned with a royal crown and seated on a throne.
		Moloch looks upward, as well; he is a frequent advocate of war on Evinn, regardless of the impossibilities of it, and channels his frustration into the occasional aggression toward the other countries of Hell.

	Phoenician Religion -- Pagan
		It is in any case likely that the Africans who 'reproduced this image in the second century A.D. had forgotten the implacability of Baal Hammon, who clamoured for human sacrifice at the tophet many centuries before.

	The Coinage of Malta pre Knights of Malta
		The identity of the deity on these coins has for a long time been disputed by scholars and has been attributed mainly to Melkart (Heracles), Eshmun (Aesculapius) and Baal Hammon.
		The Maltese coins of that period were all circular and struck in bronze, the only metal the Roman authorities permitted to be coined in the Sicilian municipia.
		The authority of minting gold and silver coins was vested in the Emperor while the Senate had the privilege of minting "Aes" coinage (copper, bronze and brass) which therefore was marked S C (Senatus Consulto).
