		When the Greeks encountered the Canaanites, it may have been this aspect of the term which they latched onto as they renamed the Canaanites the Phoenikes or Phoenicians, which may derive from a word meaning red or purple, and descriptive of the cloth for which the Greeks too traded.
		However, while both Phoenician and Canaanite refer to approximately the same culture, archaeologists and historians commonly refer to the pre-1200 or 1000 BC Levantines as Canaanites and their descendants, who left the bronze age for the iron, as Phoenicians.
		The Canaanite gods Mot and Melqart of Tyre, and the Mesopotamian god Nergal, whom I believe is somewhere referred to as Malik=king, are a some of the prime candidates for being Molech.

	NATIB QADISH ALTERNATE GENIE SEARCH ENGINE, INC
		To the ancient Canaanites, religion was inherently a part of life such that they did not have a separate word that means âreligion.â âNatibâ in the ancient language of Ugaritic means âpath,â while âqadishâ means âsacred,â thus the name means âsacred path.â This phrase is a modern construction from an ancient language.
		However, it should be noted that Natib Qadish, Canaanite Paganism is not the same religion as that of the Hebrews, and it is also not the same religious path as Judeo-Paganism, Ceremonial_Magic or practices involving the Kaballah, although some Canaanite Pagans may choose to incorporate these a part of their own personal practices.
		The Shanat Qadish is a reconstructed Canaanite festival calendar based upon the Ugaritic texts from roughly 14-13th Century BCE found at Ugarit, upon the Gezer_Calendar written in roughly 925 BCE, and upon the seasonal occurrences in this part of the world during the Bronze_Age.

	El
		El was a storm god in Canaanite mythology, whose rain fertilized the earth, making agriculture possible.
		At the same time, the Hebrew term el also became an equivalent to the English term god, as in the verse: "Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods" (Exodus 15:11), in which elim (the plural of el) is used as gods.
		Indications of the biblical god's Canaanite orgins can be found throughout the Bible, most notable in the Genesis creation account (Genesis 1-2), in which Elohim floats across the waters and causes it to rain.

		The earlier Canaanites had a similar conflation of historical memory and mythology, identifying the Rephaim with the "assembly of the Didanites" and the Didanites were an Amorite tribe of the third millenium BC, and whose memory is also possibly preserved by the Greeks as the Titans).

	Canaanites
		Although Canaanite mythology varies from city to city, the discovery of extensive records at Ras Shamra of the city of Ugarit, gives us a uniquely detailed view of Canaanite Gods and Goddesses, dating from the author Elimelek around 1370 BC.
		This weaves themes both of maintaining the cosmic order against the turbulent waters of chaos and the barren season of death and of combat associated with new deities arising from social and political change.
		In the Canaanite myth, a new and possibly Akkadian outsider, whose name is Ba'al Haddad or Lord enters the situation in hated competition with Asherah and her children by El.
