It is reported by various authors that the Swastika has never been found
in Phenicia, e. g. Max Müller, J. B. Waring, Count Goblet d'Alviella.[126]
Ohnefalsch-Richter[127] says that the Swastika is not found in Phenicia,
yet he is of the opinion that their emigrant and commercial travelers
brought it from the far east and introduced it into Cyprus, Carthage, and
the north of Africa. (See p. 796.)
