Not too amiable your answer, Sile. Perhaps I mistake it?
here under concerning Phoenician language, from Wikipedia (but I heard of that long ago, long before Wiki)
[--- Phoenician, sometimes identified with Canaanite Hebrew[citation needed], was a language originally spoken in the coastal (Mediterranean) region then called "Canaan" in Phoenician,Arabic, Greek, and Aramaic, "Phoenicia" in Greek and Latin, and "Pūt" in the Egyptian language. It is a part of the Canaanite subgroup of the Northwest Semitic languages. Other members of the family are Hebrew, Ammonite, Moabite and Edomite. [3][4]
The area where Phoenician was spoken includes modern-dayLebanon, coastal Syria, coastal northern Israel, parts of Cyprus and, at least as a prestige language, some adjacent areas of Anatolia.[5]It was also spoken in the area of Phoenician colonization along the coasts of the southwestern Mediterranean Sea, including those of modern Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Algeria as well as Malta, the west of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearic Islands and southernmost Spain.___]
And modern lebanon was hittite lands speaking Luwian and hittite/hatti languages and both are non-semitic languages ............the creation of phoenicians happened after the disappearance of the hittites...................I cannot see why it is difficult for you to not see bronze-age lebanon and only concentrate on iron-age lebanon
