Cadiz in Spain and many other cities in Malta, Crete, Sardinian, Corsica and Morocco, just to name a few, was cities established by the Phoenicians. That not everyone knows. History Time published a documentary about the entire history of the Phoenicians.
All started when they found an evidence of the Phoenicians arrivals to the ten mines in Cromwell, Britain.
