On Tuesday Feb 7th I went to the Local Studies Library and Archives in Bolton,near Manchester to do research for the forthcoming Mystery Animals of Greater Manchester book.
Whilst looking through a scrap book I came across a cutting from around the mid Nineteenth Century,from an un-named Bolton newspaper, concerning a “remarkable discovery” of a stone commemorating the arrival,in Guayaquil, Peru, of some Phonecians in the year 9 or 10 of the reign of Hiram,of Tyre who reigned from 980-947BC and allied himself with King David of Israel, and is mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Kings 5 :1;1 Chronicles 14:1; 1 Kings 9: 13; Amos 1:9 (1) Though to be honest the cutting said he was ruler of Egypt.
