possesses colonies, as Gades (Cádiz), in the south of Spain, in the Sicilian coasts, in the Balearic
               islands, in Sardinia, and, since 814 B.C., in the coasts of Africa, where was founded the rich and
               prosperous city of Carthage. With the commercial ruin of Tyre becomes preponderant, since
               the  VI  century,  the  Carthaginian  colony,  which  has  the  greatest  fleet  of  the  occidental
               Mediterranean.
                      Carthage reached in History the joyless celebrity to have constituted an amoral society,
               composed by merchants whose only ambition was the richness, which imposed their commerce
               with the protection of a mercenary army; only a few Warlords, indeed, they were Carthaginians:
               the course of the army  was integrated  by men  without  homeland and  law, that's to say, by
               soldiers  whose  homeland  was  of  who  paid  more  and  whose  law  depended  of  the  agreed
               payment. Although what most impressed always to the observers, in an analogic way to the
               repugnance that caused in the Europeans in the XVI century was to know the sanguinary Aztec
               Cult of the  Palpitating  Hearts, was the Cult of Moloch, a deity for whom they  had to  offer
               permanent  human  sacrifices  to  appease  his  inextinguishable  thirst  of  lives.  In  Tyre,  the
               Phoenicians worshipped very similar Gods to the other populations of Mesopotamia or Asia
               Minor: they gave Cult to the Goddess Astarte or Tanit, who for the Assyrian-Babylonian was
               Ishtar or Innana, or Nana, for the Greeks lo, for the Egyptians Isis, and in other places was
               called Ashataroth, Cybele, Athena, Anatha, Hathar, etc.; and also worshipped Adon, who was
               equivalent  to  the  Phrygian  Adonis;  and  adored  in  Melqart,  who  corresponded  to  Argive
               Heracles; and offered sacrifices to Baal Zebul, Baal Sidon, Baal Zaduk, Baal II, Baal Tars, Baal
               Yah, etc., all names of the Creator God who was represented as the Sun, as the planet Jupiter or
               as any other force of the nature. Was in the IX century B.C., when the King Ithobaal I, priest of
               Astarte, married his daughter Jezebel with King Ahab of Israel, that the Golems infiltrated in
               Tyre and tried to unify the Cults in the Sacrifice to the God One II. Such attempt would not give
               great results until the next century, after the conquest of the Assyrian Great King Sargon II
               over  Canaan  and  after  the  Golems  moved  to  Carthage  to  officiate  as  Priests  of  the  Cult  of
               Moloch. It must be warned that the Carthaginian was the first population where the Golems
               established,  a  part  of  the  European  populations  that  were  assigned  to  them  by  the  White
               Fraternity, to comply with their mission of unifying the Cults. But would be the first and the
               last due to, according to what they declared, their interest was only to work in the European
               Cults: if they remained in Carthage that was purely and exclusively to the Tartessian heresy,
               the necessity to orient Perseus to that population to cut the Head of Medusa and fulfill their
               prophecies. Was in this manner how, impulsed by the sinister design of the Golems, the Cult of
               Moloch would reach to dominate by the terror to all the other powers of the government of
               Carthage: the King, the Nobility, the state advisors, the military chiefs, all would end subjected
               to Moloch and his Golem priests. Finally, all the families of Carthage were obeyed to offer their
               firstborn child to be sacrificed in the «mouth of Moloch», that's to say, to be thrown in the
               mouth of a metal idol that guided to an incandescent oven; and there would end their days also
               the prisoners, the slaves, the accused of some crime, the consecrated virgins, or any one that
               the Golems wanted to eliminate. But the God was never satisfied: he demanded more and more
               living  proofs  of  the  population  Faith  in  the  ritual  Sacrifice;  his  Law  claimed  a  fee  of  blood
               hardly available. Peradventure Moloch was expecting for a greater sacrifice, perchance he would
               be calm with the offering of the whole lineage that insulted him, with its extermination in His
               Name of the lineage of the Lords of Tharsis.
