Phoenician Method: Hidden Control Through Syncretism
They never fought directly. They let their rivals absorb their gods under new names.
Greece: Melqart > Heracles.
Rome: Baal-Hammon > Saturn, Astarte > Venus.
India: Krishna/Balarama identified with Dionysus/Heracles.
Christianity: Melqart > St. Nicholas > Santa Claus; Baal-Saturn > Carnival.
Finance: Walled City > Wall Street > Bull Market.
Because their gods were everywhere, the Phoenician priesthood never needed to be visible. Rivals fought “each other” while unknowingly serving the same root archetypes.
The “secret Phoenician victory” wasn’t military - it was memetic. By controlling symbols (horns, bulls, walls, balls, wolves), they ensured that every empire carried their gods forward, hidden in plain sight. The victor writes history - but the Phoenician trick was to let their enemies think they were the victors, while the same horned archetypes ruled under new masks.
