Did the Olmec ever meet the Phoencians?
It is very unlikely. The Olmec were a civilization found in Mexico (North America), and the Phoenicians thrived on the southern shores of the Mediterranean sea (Europe, North Africa). No such contact has been reported on either Olmec or Phoenician writings, so far.

What is the impact the Phoenicia have on the Mediterranean world?
There's one thing the whole world, not just the Mediterranean, should thank the Phoencians for, and that's the alphabet. Latin (that's the one we use), Greek, Hebrew, Russian or Cyrillic, Arabic and Runic are all children of their letter system.

How did trade help the Phoencians?
Trade helped the Phoenicians by allowing them to grow wealthy and powerful through their dominance of maritime trade routes in the Mediterranean. They traded goods such as purple dye, glassware, and cedar wood, creating extensive networks and partnerships with other civilizations. This brought them prosperity and cultural exchange.
Who discovered the Atlantic ocean?
It was never lost. Many ancient people used the Atlantic Ocean frequently, dating back before written history.
What role of cultural diffusion did the ancient Phoencians have?
They were seafaring people so moved all over the Mediterranean. Their writing system developed into our modern writing system through the Greeks, then the Romans. They contributed roots of what would eventually become classical civilization as about a quarter of Greek words probably are of Phoenician origin. They traded and traveled extensively with North Africa, and spread their religion all over the Mediterranean as well. Some scholars link them with the Philistines mentioned in the Bible. Others believe they were Canaanite in origin. Still others believe that they came from Africa. They were definitely instrumental in mixing the Semite, European and African cultures, and are the ancestors of the modern Lebanese.
