there is a shrine of Melqart in Ys (see also here);
...and a temple of Melqart in Tyre...
...where Everard sees a priest of Melqart at the Egyptian Harbor (see also here):
the Straits of Gibraltar are called the Pillars of Melqart;
future space travelers meet a virtual Melqart (see also here).
So the blog has more on Melqart than I had thought.

Kaor, Paul!
And I remember how, in THE BOAT OF A MILLION YEARS, in the last part of the book, Hanno the Tyrian gave his companions a "virtual" reconstruction of what he "thought" Tyre was like when he was a young man during the reign of Hiram I. Including a human sacrifice to Moloch. I said "thought" because Hanno was no longer sure, after millennia, of how much of what he showed came from genuine memories and how much from scholarly studies many centuries later. Hanno was sure of one thing, however, he soon left Tyre because the city was giving him the creeps.
Ad astra! Sean
