Down, then, to the period of the Siege of 332 B. C., no emigration to,
or discovery of, a Western Continent was known or recorded, and yet
Tyrians are found to have been upon that distant land,--both points we
claim at once to be admitted; and will, therefore, instantly establish
that the Tyrians landing in America could be no other than those
rescued by the Sidonians, and as a necessity the date is correctly
given for commencing the History of Ancient America at 332 B. C. To
sustain this proposition of additional proof the following
brief argument is presented: viz.--Upon the annihilation of
_Canaan_-Tyrus;--and all its inhabitants found within the walls being
either murdered or sent as slaves into Macedonia and other
nations,--Alexander repopulated the destroyed Capital with people from
the Grecian countries, and _speaking the language of the Greeks_; the
same was done at Alexandria, and this language was there, and at
Grecian-Tyrus, continued to, and after, the time of THE SAVIOUR; and
it had a material effect in advancing Christianity, for Jerusalem
being between Tyrus and Alexandria, and the three capitals having that
language as the general medium of writing and conversation, the early
Doctrines of the Christian Church were rapidly promulgated and
promoted. After August 20th, then, [332 B.C.] the _Greek language
only_, in compliment to, and by the command of Alexander, was spoken
at _Greco_-Tyrus; therefore (will not the critic anticipate?) as an
absolute necessity, admitting of no denial, if the _Greek_-Tyrians had
left Phœnicia, and landed on the Western Continent _after_ the year
332 B.C.; and it has been shewn that none of the ancient Tyrians
reached there _before_ that period--_the Greek language_ would be
found upon _the Altar of Copan_; instead of which, _hieroglyphics_ are
only there; and they,--being translated by analyzing the story of the
attendant Sculpture,--at once unfold the last incident in the Asiatic
history of the Tyrian family, descended from Sidon and the House of
Canaan!
As the Author, we stated in commencing the above illustration, that
this last proof of the correctness of the date, was "a strong
conclusive" one,--will it not be regarded by the historic Reader as
absolute and conclusive?
If any documents of antiquity could be found,--written in the
Phœnician character, and distinctly stating the fact, that the
Tyrians did migrate to the Western Continent, and in the year
specified, no one would doubt _that_ evidence; well then, those
documents of the olden time have been found, and readable only in the
Tyrian language;--they are to be seen at this day, upon the walls and
altars in Ancient America,--Architecture and Sculpture were the true
Historians,--and Old Time,--the twin-born with Creation,--has been the
faithful Keeper of the Archives, and which unfold undeniable Truths of
Prophesied Religion!
