About this eBook

This short book explores the possibility of Carthaginian connections in ancient America, focusing on the enigmatic civilization of Teotihuacan. Drawing upon historical records, archaeological findings, and scholarly theories, it delves into the notion that a group of Carthaginian merchants and civilians ventured across the Atlantic Ocean, establishing colonies and leaving an indelible mark on the indigenous cultures they encountered. The parallels between Carthaginian urbanism, architecture, and religious symbolism and those found in Teotihuacan provide tantalizing hints of potential cultural and spiritual syncretism. The presence of Carthaginian artistic motifs, such as the Tanit symbol, and cryptic references in ancient texts further fuel speculation about transoceanic contact.
