We all knew about Carthage, and how they were monotheistic (or at least Henotheistic) people when basically everyone around them being polytheistic, with their unpronounceable God and all their dietary restrictions and customs.

It was widely known that they began as Israelite colony, founded by settlers sent under King Solomon. The colony who ultimately outlasted and outshined their protege, especially after having an influx of population coming from the destruction of Northern Israelite Kingdom, and later on the Southern Judean Kingdom.

Now, we did know that the "Carthaginian Cities" in North Africa and Iberia were often started out as colonies of other Canaanite people, subjugated and converted into Carthaginian Judaism. There are archaeological sites that confirm about those cities initially following Canaanite Pantheon at first before they converted as the Carthage influence increased in the region.

Now, what if... The Monotheistic Kingdom of Israel is not the founder of Carthage, but some other city, maybe Tyre? How history will develop without Carthaginian monotheists fighting against Hellenes and Roma in the West?
