THE SICANS The studies archaeological they make to go up again to the III millennium a.C. the arrival of the sicanis in western Sicily, particularly in the situated part to west of the Imera of the south (Salty). their contacts with the minoic civilization is corroborated by recent discoveries while the existing relationships are not clear still with the near elimis. Probably comes from Spain, the sicanis make of Iccara, Inico and Indara their principal centers.
THE PHOENIX The phoenic infiltration in Sicily is not dated in certain way. Probably the people, whose name derives from the Greek “phôinix” and it means red, in relationship to the purple cloths from it produced, is appropriated in the western part of the island in anterior age to that Hellenic (or perhaps contemporarily to the ellenis).

The difficulties to specify its history derive only not from the scarce documentation but also from the type of political organization that, although you help historical reconstruction of the different cities fenicie, it doesn't facilitate that unitary any country. The carbolic appropriations are found again in the whole Mediterranean; in this sea the carbolic ones become the middlemen among East and West. But the moment of maximum expansion is had by the XI century in then, when the carbolic ones are established in oriental Sicily and in the
islands of Malta of Gozo and of Pantelleria. Also the origin in Palermo is fenicia as that of the not distant Solunto, of St. Pantaleone (near Marsala) and of the small Mozia.In the islet of Mozia recent excavations have allowed to identify a Tophet replica of the Sanctuary of Cartagine BaalHammon. Otherwise from those Greek frets the colonies fenicie was not organized as stable city, but as points of commercial exchanges in relationship to their principal activity, that maritime and merchant. With the stately cedars of Lebanon, the carbolic ones built agile boats to sail in the Mediterranean and so the reached coasts are been
activated in the time by flourishing harbors.
It is told that, jealous of their supremacy on the sea, this people held secretly the routs to follow and spread terrible legends to discourage the competition. Are been, in fact, the carbolic ones to invent the existence of Scilla and Cariddi: the two monsters that sank ships in the narrow one of Messina.The exigens to facilitate the relationships with the most different people has probably pushed the carbolic ones to elaborate a simple and fast writing: it is born so the alphabet of the city of Biblo with twenty-two signs correspondents to the principals sounds of the human voice. From the phonetic alphabet that Jewish, that Greek and that Roman are derived today still in use.
