I35343 from Carthage’s ancestors likely from Caucasus (or nearby)

I found it interesting that this newly added sample from Carthage, dating from 450-200 BCE, labeled as belonging to the Phoenician cultural group on FTDNA, apparently has a deeper male line origin much further away. His line being found in North Africa may be simply explained as a migration of Phoenicians from the Levant. His ancestors may have migrated to the Levant from the Caucasus with the Kura Araxes culture.

I didn’t read the paper the sample is from and don’t know anything else about the sample’s specific context.
