Carthage

🌐 Human History

According to Josephus Carthage was founded 143 years and 8 months after the completion of Solomon's Temple

• 2930 Solomon's reign
• 2941 Temple complete
• 3085 Carthage Founded

2930 + 11 = {2941}

2941 + 143 + 1 = {3085}

1 Kings 6:38   

In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its fashion. So was he seven years in building it.

  וּבַשָּׁנָה הָאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה בְּיֶרַח בּוּל הוּא הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁמִינִי כָּלָה הַבַּיִת לְכָל־דְּבָרָיו וּלְכָל־ [מִשְׁפָּטֹו כ] (מִשְׁפָּטָיו ק) וַיִּבְנֵהוּ שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים׃

Note: Solomon began his reign in 2930 and the temple began in the fourth year of his reign

Hiram

According to Josephus the fourth year of Solomon's reign was the twelfth year of Hiram's reign.

2930 + 4 = {2934}

This is important because The Paraíba Stone states that in the 19th year of Hiram's reign Canaanites or Phoenicians embarked on a voyage and settled in Brazil two years later. 

19 - 12 = {7}

2934 + 7 = {2941}

Proof

Location: Paraiba state of Brazil

Description: According to the story associated with the Paraiba Stone, the stone was found in 1872 in the Brazilian state of Paraiba by a slave of Joaquim Alves de Costa. The stone contained an inscription believed by some to be ancient Phoenician writing (Phoenica was an ancient civilization in the land of Canaan). According to TimeMagazine, Professor Cyrus H. Gordon of Brandeis University “found that it contained nuances and quirks of Phoenician style that could not have been known to a 19th century forger.” [37]

The stone was translated by Professor Gordon as follows:

“We are Sidonian Canaanites from the city of the Mercantile King. We were cast up on this distant shore, a land of mountains. We sacrificed a youth to the celestial gods and goddesses in the nineteenth year of our mighty King Hiram and embarked from Ezion-geber into the Red Sea. We voyaged with ten ships and were at sea together for two years around Africa [Ham]. Then we were separated by the hand of Baal and were no longer with our companions. So we have come here, twelve men and three women, into New Shore. Am I, the Admiral, a man who would flee? Nay! May the celestial gods and goddesses favour us well!” [38]

However, the stone itself was never found, only a transcription of the inscriptions

The alleged forged inscription was circulated by Ladislau de souza Mello Netto in 1872. We now know the inscription to be authentic. Here is the proof:

In line 6 the inscription uses the letter Samekh עסר for the word 'ten' like in Aramaic. It is normally עשר in Hebrew with the letter Sin. A 17th century fraud would not mix Aramaic with Hebrew as at the time this was not a known phenomena. In other words people didn't know that Hebrew speaking Phoenicians sometimes borrowed from Aramaic. It was only in the late 19th Century that such an inscription was found for comparison and confirmation, that being the Deir Alla from Jordan.
