>>19519048Baal is not a proper name, but a Lordship title. The most famous god with that title was Hadad, who was the Canaanite/Phoenician version of Zeus/Jupiter, symbolized by a fertile young warrior who controlled the weather. Although associated with bulls, this was because of their fertile/vigorous nature. This is not the case with old El, the Canaanite/Phoenician version of Cronos/Saturn, the King of the Gods who was no longer the fertile bull of his glory days. Moloch means King and El was the King of the Gods, both are associated with Cronos/Saturn, even more so the Carthaginian version of El, Hammon, who the Romans called "African Saturn" and were said to be offered firstborn male babies in scorching blaze in his belly. Making Moloch a chthonic aspect of El/Hammon, an old infertile bull who wanted first male babies/fertility.
A Phoenician historian named Sanchuniathon confirms all of this.
