It really takes a math genius to find the one group of people who were native to Lebanon but isn't Muslim or Jewish, isn't one of the many ethnicities he dosen't like (Greek, Turkish, Armenian, etc.), were still polythiests when they died out so he can claim they have been Christian since Jesus walked the earth, and had a Mediterranean spanning empire that he wants to reclaim.
While it dosen't make any historical sense how he can claim to be Phoenician, it does solve his race science logic puzzle.
Let's not forget Jesus' portrayal as being white, or the insistence of conservatives that he was (I really don't understand the existential angst Western Christians get at the prospect that Jesus wasn't white).
