Canaanites count as the 7th
Quoting: Anonymous 78518058 Interesting info! I've been on a tangent because
underneath the "Acropolium of Carthage" is an "edifice" to
Eshmun(couldn't find pics :/).
"This god was known at least from the Iron Age period at
Sidon and was worshipped also in Tyre, Beirut, Cyprus, Sardinia, and in Carthage where the site of Eshmun's temple is now occupied by the acropolium of Carthage."
"According to Eusebius of Caesarea, Phoenician author Sanchuniathon wrote that Sydyk, 'The Righteous', first fathered seven sons equated with the Greek Cabeiri or Dioscuri, no mother named, and then afterwards fathered an eighth son by one of the seven Titanides or Artemides. (See Kotharat).
The name Eshmun appears to mean 'the Eighth'".
"Also found near the Sidon temple was a gold plaque of Eshmun and the goddess Hygeia (meaning "Health") showing
Eshmun holding a staff in his right hand around which a serpent is entwined. A coin of the 3rd century CE from Beirut shows Eshmun standing between two serpents."

And are these lingams(possibly power sources from Vedic/Hindu/"Buddhist" temples) at the "Acropolium"??
There was another more biblical site that had possible lingams too, Mount Moriah maybe, can't recall atm :/
And TY(!), I couldn't remember how Sardinia had oddly come up in the last day when I saw this thread,
