Extracts:
The city of Carthage, in modern-day Tunisia, was founded in the 9th century BCE by the Phoenicians. The Carthaginian Empire took over the Phoenician sphere of influence, with its own sphere of influence from the Mediterranean in the east to the Atlantic in the west and further into Africa in the south. The empire was destroyed in 146 BCE after an epic struggle against the Romans.
By studying the origin of key Germanic words and other parts of Germanic languages, Theo Vennemann and I have found traces of such a physical presence, giving us a completely new understanding of the influence of this Semitic superpower in northern Europe.
In antiquity, coins were used in the Mediterranean. One major coin minted in Carthage was the shekel, the current name for currency of Israel. We think this is the historical origin of the word 'shilling' because of the specific way the Carthaginians pronounced 'shekel', which is different from how it is pronounced in Hebrew.
The pronunciation of Punic can be reasonably inferred from Greek and Latin spellings, as the sounds of Greek and Latin letters are well known. Punic placed a strong emphasis on the second syllable of shekel and had a plain 's' at the beginning, instead of the 'esh' sound in Hebrew.
But to speakers of Proto-Germanic, who normally put the emphasis on the first syllable of words, it would have sounded like 'skel'. This is exactly how the crucial first part of the word 'shilling' is constructed. The second part, '-(l)ing', is undoubtedly Germanic. It was added to express an individuating meaning, as in Old German silbarling, literally 'piece of silver'.
This combining of languages in one word shows early Germanic people must have been familiar with Punic.
One area of Carthage leadership was agricultural technology. Our work traces the word 'plough' back to a Punic verb root meaning 'divide'. Importantly, 'plough' was used by Proto-Germanic speakers to refer to a more advanced type of plough than the old scratch plough, or ard.
This new evidence suggests many early Germanic people learnt Punic and worked for the Carthaginians, married into their families, and had bilingual and bicultural children.
When Carthage was destroyed this connection was eventually lost. But the traces of this Semitic superpower remain in modern Germanic languages, their culture and their ancient letters.

3. More Evidence equating "Caudinge" (Hamburg) with Sidon.

The name Caudinge may have been pronounced as "Sauding" which is similar to the name "Sidon" or "Tsidon" as pronounced in Biblical Hebrew. The Hebrew letter "Ts" with which the name of Tsidon" begins is much harder than an "S." This would explain why Caudinge" begins with a "C." Not only that but in Hebrew-Aramaic dialects to the east and north of the center of Israel we find the "TS" letter exchanged for "K." The name "Netser" for instance with the "ts" (Tsere) letter is written as "NeKer." With this in mind it is quite clear that "Caudinge" could easily be a form of the name "Sidon."
