During his third voyage to “the new world,” jewish navigator Christopher Columbus encountered the Amuraca or Americos tribe where now is caribbean coastal Venezuela, no doubt for them named the Americas, not Amerigo Vespucci ostensibly for his first name usually reserved for royalty such as George of Victoria not a chart man serving under a ship captain. There is much evidence of “Phoenicians” having sailed to the Americas, known as Canaanites or Sidonians but begun called Phoenicians for Phoenix (a son of Cadmus) when the Ice Age was ending, one of the tribes of the Canaanites the Amorites, some of whom sailed where would be named for them, America.
