  Scientist believes Atlantis found... Ancient & Lost Civilizations - Single Post
The problem is that Gadir is a phoenecian word (meaning gates) and Gades was a colony of the Phoenecian city-state of Tyre.
This means that the Atlanteans are actually Phoenecians, and Atlantis is just a city that's been lost to history.
BUT the Phoenecians didn't start expanding until Troy fell, which may indicate that the phoenecians started somewhere on the Black sea.

Surely, if you are going to pay people who win you have got to be smart and follow Phoenecians example.
And there doesn't have to be any losers, or bad guys, or bankrupts in that story - if all involved had the foresight of this Phoenecian casino and RTG.

  The History of Phoenecia
It also turned out to be a decent decision, as Terecians, due to their short longevity, tended to make as far an advance as they could in their research and development for the sake of fellow Terecians.
The Phoenixes did not understand such a rapid pace at first, as they were accustomed to taking their time in thinking matters through over an extensive lifetime.
The Phoenecians understood, and appreciated this pace, as the advances made would soon allow a more pressing matter to be resolved.

Descendents of refugees from Canaan and the inhabitants of Levantine port cities (some of whom dated back to Akkadian times), the Phoenecians rather effectively took the place of the once mighty Minoans, and brought trade back to the eastern Mediterranean.
Whereas the Minoans kept largely to the eastern sea, the Phoenecians went further west.
If all you had was a knife and a chunk of wood, the Greek or Phoenecian letters were hard to make.

 The History of Phoenecia
One reason being Ti`Arelan and the Elder had hidden their research, and the other being Phoenecia was a near-wasteland due to the War, so re-building the land took precedence.
The work was slow, since the Terecians had to re-build their War machines with limited supplies and equipment, and Both races still had, at best, a limited grasp of each other's Language.
THese would form the First Phoenecian Council, the Governing Body which would decide the future of Phoenecia, and, in the Millenia to come, the Balance of the Cosmos.

The majority of visitors, scholars, and artists to the ruins of the great civilizations of the Americas could not believe that the "savages" now inhabiting these areas could ever have been civilized enough to produce these monuments.
These explorers said that the monuments in the Americas had been created by the Egyptians, Carthaginians, or the Phoenecians.
Catherwood, having made many trips to the Mediterranean to draw the monuments made by the Egyptians, Carthaginians, and Phoenecians, stated that the monuments in the Americas bear no architectural similarity to those in the Old World.

 Indigenous Knowledge Theft
The key point that should be made was that the Phoenecians were an urban, sophisticated people, with imperial aspirations.
Like the Jews and Phoenecians, the Arabs were (and still are) a Semitic civilization.
Instead of making this a distinction between "indigenous" and "non-indigenous", you should really be making it a distinction between "highly-developed cultures with significant levels of economic and technological advancement" and "ancient/primitive cultures".

The land was later known as “Calpe” the name given to objects of great height or natural fortifications.
Once the Phoenecians got bored of Gibraltar (they were a fishing and trading civilisation, so this was common), they moved on and settled in El Penon de Ifach.
And given the striking resemblance to their last abode (and notwithstanding it was of course another object of great height) they called this place Calpe, also.

Sometimes secondary sources may report the origin of a word being given by a native in Africa, but the source itself is so undescriptive that the precise origin cannot be traced.
Herodotus reporting the existence of "gorillas" comes to mind-- the guide retained by the Phoenecians described those animals with that term.
(also, as an aside, it is speculated that the Phoenecians retained a Berber-speaking guide and the term "gorilla" comes from the Berber word "gurel", which means something akin to "little people")
