We assert that Phoenicians might have interacted with Sardinians based on mitogenome data

Haplogroup N1b1a5

The presence of one sample from Monte Sirai, MS10578, a 6 to 12-year-old child that has an N1b1a5 haplotype is of particular interest. Haplogroup N lineages are rare in modern Sardinians. Recently, however, four individuals were identified carrying haplogroup N1b1a9, which appears to be a Sardinian specific haplogroup [15]. The coalescence ages of this haplogroup are estimated to be 7.3–9.4 Ky, so this may have been a pre-Neolithic introduction to the island. N1b1a5, however, is more recent (Olivieri et al. [15] Fig 3), dating to 2.5 Ky, which aligns nicely with a Phoenician/Punic introduction

We also do not see a gene flow from Iran despite the Persian cultural expansion which led to a language shift from an east-Iranian language to a west-Iranian in Tajiks—when Yaghnobis kept their east-Iranian language

Because the date of the gene-flow from South Asian populations in Tajik genomes is relatively recent, the data favours the first hypothesis; however, uncertainties on the model of admixture (one versus several pulses) may be compatible with continuous gene-flow since the Bronze Age. Additionally, our recent date of admixture fits with the arrival of the South Asian ancestry at the same that the shift from east to west-Iranian language in Tajiks linked to the Persian expansion 1500 years ago

Marseille is often considered the oldest city in France. Continuously inhabited since 600 BC, it was founded by Anatolian Greeks as Massilia. (pictured artist's depiction of ancient Massilia)

Eastern European architecture during the Cold War was influenced by a variety of factors, including political economy, the Soviet Union, and other countries:
Stalinist architecture
Developed in the Soviet Union from 1920 to 1950, this style was also known as socialist classicism. Early buildings were classical, but later skyscrapers took on more Gothic forms.
Brutalism
This movement was popular from the 1950s to the mid-1970s and was characterized by a bold style that combined concrete and rough surfaces.
Collaboration with other countries
Architects, planners, and construction companies from Eastern Europe worked with those in West Africa and the Middle East to modernize developing countries. Their work reshaped cities such as Accra, Lagos, Baghdad, Abu Dhabi, and Kuwait City.
Political economy
The inconvertibility of Eastern European currencies and the principle of barter impacted the design, materials, and technologies of buildings.
Soviet policy
