	Sanchuniathon - LoveToKnow 1911
		He is said to have flourished "even before the Trojan times," "when Semiramis was queen of the Assyrians." Philo Herennius of Byblus claimed to have translated his mythological writings from the Phoenician originals.
		According to Philo, Sanchuniathon derived the sacred lore from the mystic inscriptions on the Aµµovveis (probably hammanim, " sun pillars," cf.

		Sanchuniathon or Sanchoniathon or Sanchoniatho is the purported Phoenician author of three works in Phoenician, surviving only in partial paraphrase and summary of a Greek translation by Philo of Byblos.
		As in the Greek and Hittite theogonies, Sanchuniathon's Elus/Cronus overthrows his father Sky or Uranus and castrates him.
		A passage about serpent worship follows in which it is not clear what part is from Sanchuniathon and what part from Philo of Byblus.

	Phoenicia: Phoenician History is the oldest document of human culture & the Western World's historical archives.
		Sanchuniathon of Berytus (Beirut) or Sakkun-yathon in Phoenician means "the god Sakkun has given." He was an ancient Phoenician sage, priest and writer.
		Judging from the fragments of the Phoenician History, Sanchuniathon appears to have been a contemporary of Semiramis, the Queen of Assyria, the wife of Ninus, with whom she founded Nineveh 2,000 BC.
		Sanchuniathon, like Vgasa in India, is said to have been a compiler of extremely ancient theogonic and historical documents that had been transmitted to him either by oral tradition or in writing.

		Both Chryse and Suvarnadvipa mean “Gold Island.” The latter was also located in Indian writings well to the east of India in the “Southern Ocean” and is identified by most scholars with the Malay Archipelago (“the East Indies”).
		Josephus’ theory of voyages to Southeast Asia was supported indirectly about a half-century later by Philo of Byblos who translated the History of Phoenicia by Sanchuniathon.
		Philo’s interpretation of Sanchuniathon’s history uses words for the products of the voyages which clearly point to tropical Asia unlike the strange terms used a thousand years earlier in Solomon’s time.

		In Sanchuniathon's account Hadad is once called Adodos but mostly named Demarûs, a puzzling form, possibly a Greek corruption of Hadad Ramān.
		Sanchuniathon's Hadad is son of Sky by a concubine who is then given to the god Dagon while she is pregnant by Sky.
		This appears to be an attempt to combine two accounts of Hadad's parentage, one of which is the Ugaritic tradition that Hadad was son of Dagon.

		Nautin, 'Sanchuniathon chez Philo de Byblos et chez Porphyry', in Revue Biblique 56 (1949), 272, treats the Sanchuniathon of Philo as a Hellenistic fantasy, though admitting that the name itself is of Phoenician provenance.

		Sanchuniathon also says Dagon means Siton, that being the Greek word for 'grain'.

		Tyre consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the mainland, called "Old Tyre", and the city, built on a small, rocky island about half-a-mile distant from the shore.
		Tyre appears on monuments as early as 1500 BC, and claiming, according to Herodotus, to have been founded about 2700 BC." Philo of Byblos (in Eusebius) quotes the antiquarian authority Sanchuniathon as stating that it was first occupied by one Hypsuranius.
		Sanchuniathon's work is said to be dedicated to "Abibalus king of Berytus" -- possibly the Abibaal who was king of Tyre.

		She was watching someone in the temple and when I too looked, I saw the temple priest Sanchuniathon, standing in front of a roughly triangular stone, which was the grey stone of Beruna.
		It was because of what Sanchuniathon had been telling her, that in spite of death they should not be separated; that Marazahn, priestess of the temple and chief exponent of the Black Arts, had promised to call her back after death.
		I also learnt as a result of that scene, that Sanchuniathon's love for Kophra did not fade at her death or at her hideous return but changed and deepened to something that endured, so that he turned Marazahn out and during his life-time prevented the use of fl arts.

		The character and intrinsic interest of the material presented by Eusebius, the high antiquity claimed for it, and the line of transmission by which it has come down have combined to raise a number of problems which are of more than usual interest and are by no means merely academic.

		Yet in Sanchuniathon's euhemeristic account of the Phoenician deities, Elioun, whom he calls Hypsistos and who is therefore certainly ‘Elyôn, is quite separate from his Elus/Cronus who is the supereme god Ēl.
		In their time is born a certain Elioun called "the Most High," and a female named Beruth, and these dwelt in the neighbourhood of Byblos.
		According to Sanchuniathon it is from Sky and Earth that Ēl and various other deities are born, though ancient texts refer to Ēl as creator of heaven and earth.

		In Sanchuniathon's main mythology the god he calls in Greek Uranus 'Sky' has been thought by some to stand for Ba‘al Shamîm.

		In Sanchuniathon's story Sky also battles Sea, and when Sky cannot prevail, he allies himself with Hadad.

	El - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		In the euhemeristic account of Sanchuniathon Ēl (rendered Elus or called by his standard Greek counterpart Cronus) is not the creator god or first god.
		Unfortunately Eusebius of Caesarea, through whom Sanchuniathon is preserved, is not interested in setting the work forth completely or in order.
		Though Sanchuniathon distinguises Poseidon from his Elus/Cronus, this might be a splitting off of a particular aspect of Ēl in an euhemeristic account.

		According to fragments attributed to the semi-legendary pre-Trojan war Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, it was the first city ever built, and even today is believed by many to be the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world ; see List of oldest continuously inhabited cities for further information.
		According to the writer Philo of Byblos (quoting Sanchuniathon, and quoted in Eusebius), Byblos had the reputation of being the oldest city in the world, founded by Cronus, and was also where Thoth invented writing.

		Plutarch in his On Isis and Osiris indicates that the king and queen of Byblos who unknowingly have the Osiris' body in a pillar in their hall are Melcarthus (that is Melqart) and Astarte (though he notes some instead call the queen Saosis or Nemanûs which Plutarch interprets as corresponding to the Greek name Athenais).
		In the description of the Phoenician pantheon ascribed to Sanchuniathon ‘Ashtart appears as a daughter of Sky and Earth and sister of the god El.
		After El overthrows and banishes his father Sky, Sky sends to El as some kind of trick his "virgin daughter" ‘Ashtart along with her sisters Asherah and the goddess who will later be called Ba‘alat Gebul 'Lady of Byblos'.

		Philo's Greek, Phoenician History was so extensively quoted by Eusebius of Caesarea in the 4th century, in his Praeparation evangelista, that the fragments have been assembled and translated (see References).
		Philo, in Eusebius' hands, claimed to have discovered secret mythological writings of the ancient Phoenicians assembled by an apparently fictitious "Sanchuniathon" who had transcribed the sacred lore from pillars in the temples of Byblos.
		The work is also known from quotations in Porphyry, who says that Sanchuniathon (here also called a native of Byblos) wrote a history of the Jews, based on information derived from Hierombal (i.e.
