History of Carthage at This Time

(August 29, 2022) The First Punic War started in Sicily 264 BCE and lasted until 241 BCE with Carthage coming out on the losing side. In the peace treaty Carthage paid large reparations to Rome and Sicily was annexed by Rome. The end of the war sparked a major but unsuccessful revolt within the Carthaginian Empire by mercenary troops and many Carthaginian colonies. This is called the Mercenary War and it lasted until 238 BCE.

Near the end of this chaos and contrary to the peace treaty, the Romans took over the Carthaginian islands of Sardinia and Corsica just off their coast. These continuing tensions led to another war in 218 BCE which led to the Carthaginian general Hannibal crossing the Alps into Italy. But the Carthaginians did not have siege technology needed to take Rome so all they could do was raid the countryside while Rome supplied itself via trade since it now had command of the sea.

Because Rome could not defeat Hannibal’s experienced army, Rome invaded the weakly defended Carthaginian homeland in 204 BC. This led to Hannibal's recall and  his new local army was defeated at the battle of Zama in 202 BC. Carthage then sued for peace and signed a peace treaty in 201 BC which stripped Carthage of most of its colonies and imposed a large indemnity to be paid over 50 years. It also severely restricted the size of its armed forces and prohibited Carthage from attacking anyone else without permission. Carthage ceased to be a military threat. 

This last phase of the war occurred at the same time a drought occurred. This was the time when most of these texts were produced.

When this indemnity was paid off Rome declared war on Carthage for a third time in 149 BCE and razed Carthage itself in 146 BCE which included destroying its libraries.

Black Carthage Stone Blames Fate For the Drought (200 BCE)

(January 9, 2024, updated March 23, 2025) This text is blaming fate for the drought. It mentions the "enemy" which must be Rome in this case.

  1. The splitters (Ayu and her eagle-vultures) are howling at fate.  Is not that being similar to astrology-magic?  Nothing is being purified  |  Open the irrigation of the life-threads by involving the pushing of eagle-vultures.  Nothing of Hu is manifesting the fertility-fluids.  The Reed-Boat (Ayu) can make chaotic the nourishing of Hu.
  2. Fertility-fluids are lacking Thu.  The binding (of network links to motion powers) is lacking Thu and the Observer (Su). The revelations (of fate) can be nested.  Yahu (Y') can be changed by the Instigator (Su).  The revelations can nest the enemy (Rome).  The revelations can get involved with the Reed-Boat.  The revelation will respect the openings.  |  Nourish the dispersal (of fertility-fluids by the network).
  3. Life-threads can be set by nourishments.  Revelations (of fate) can be intimidated by emotion-powers (Awen).  Hu can nourish the life-threads.  Revelations can be involved with Thu. Revelations can result from not being prodded.  Don't starve the weavers (who form the life network).  Network-birds can nourish life-manifestations.  Don't get involved in querying astrology-magic.

Catch-the-winds with that. Emanations will reveal that.
  5. Activate Hu's setting. Repel astrology-magic. Starvation is originating with the emotion-owls.  The Reed-Boat (Ayu) is nesting.  Involve the life-threads in querying the setting.  The threads can irrigate Hu's fruit with the Reed-Boat (Ayu) being the result.
  6. The Reed-Boat (Ayu) can irrigate.

Irrigation will result in Hu-powers life-manifesting the same.
  7. Curse is the revelations (of fate). The fertility-fluids are starving Hu. The fertility-fluids are making tearful the Reed-Boat (Ayu).  The Moon-Eye (Su) is angry.   Astrology magic can make ineffective the Instigator (Su).  Involvement makes-ineffective the considerations (focused emotion of emotion magic).
