What we call Phoenician colonies were nothing more than the exodus of peoples inland from the islands that were left but nonetheless sinking of the remains of what modern people call Atlantis. As a seafaring people, these masses collectively fled to the inner regions of the Mediterranean Sea and drove out the indigenous populations. Settling mostly on the isles of Greece and along Asia Minor, these people, though strong, were no match for the Egyptian and Hittite people and took what they could on arrival. They were never united because the strength of each colony varied and the distance between them did not offer a mode of communication.
