Heartland Research Agreed to Purchase the Phoenicia for Display on the West Bank of the River Sidon at the Zarahemla Temple Site.
In the last 12 hours, there were thousands of people who saw reports on social media about Heartland Research’s purchase of the Phoenicia from Philip Beable. There is such a high level of interest.
We are grateful to Philip Beale for the time and money he put into the building of this ship. It is a faithful replica of a boat capable of bringing Mulek, the Prince of Judah, from Jerusalem to Zarahemla in the 6th Century Before Christ.
In the above video link, Philip Beale recently explained how he commissioned the building of a replica Phoenician ship on the ancient Phoenician island of Arwad in Syria in 2007. The vessel was designed from information derived from the Jules Verne 7 wreck, found near Marseille, France, in the 1990s. Then in 2019-20, Philip Beale sailed the “Phoenicia” from Carthage, Tunisia across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, illustrating the possibility of such voyages in the ancient period.
