Unveiling the Authentic Mission of Heartland Research Group: Dispelling Myths Surrounding Phoenicia Fundraising
Introduction:
The Heartland Research Group has been steadfast in its commitment to unraveling the mysteries of ancient American civilizations since its inception. In light of recent misconceptions, it is crucial to clarify the purpose of our organization and address concerns regarding the fundraising efforts for the reconstruction of the Phoenicia.

From comprehensive research to linguistic analyses, our activities aim to uncover the richness of ancient American civilizations. We welcome researchers from diverse backgrounds to contribute to our collective understanding of our shared history.
The Phoenicia Expedition:
The Phoenicia is more than just a ship; it serves as a tangible link to the extraordinary accomplishments of ancient seafaring civilizations. Philip Beale's Phoenician Ship Expedition meticulously recreated a 6th-century BC voyage, spanning 30,000 miles and illuminating the remarkable seafaring prowess of ancient cultures. Venturing past the formidable rocks of Gibraltar and across the vast Atlantic, this expedition showcased the unparalleled capabilities of these ancient ships. Contrary to being a diversion, the Phoenicia reconstruction and preservation project enriches our mission by establishing a hands-on connection to the technology that ancient seafarers used to navigate vast waters with skill and determination.
Reconstruction Endeavors:
Phoenicia's need for reconstruction is not a departure from our core mission but a continuation of our commitment to preserving and understanding ancient history. Transported to Montrose, Iowa, the replica ship is undergoing meticulous reconstruction by a dedicated team. This effort stands as a testament to our unwavering dedication to preserving and showcasing the enduring legacy of ancient seafarers, their connection to the new and old worlds, and associated artifacts.
Commitment to Transparency:
Crucial for our supporters to grasp is the fact that the Heartland Research Group functions entirely through the dedication of volunteers. Individuals from various faith groups have generously contributed over 6,000 hours of their time. In addition, tens of thousands of dollars have been contributed to this effort by people who share the vision of locating ancient American civilizations, preserving artifacts associated with them, and making connections to the old world. Each donation we receive directly fuels our research initiatives, preservation projects, and the ongoing Phoenicia reconstruction. Our commitment to transparency remains unwavering, ensuring that every contribution plays a pivotal role in advancing our shared comprehension of ancient American civilizations.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Heartland Research Group remains unyielding in its mission to uncover the secrets of ancient American civilizations. The Phoenicia project is not a detour but a valuable extension, enhancing our understanding and visibility of ancient seafaring technology and cultures. Your donations directly empower our research and preservation efforts, and we pledge to continue exploring, learning, and sharing the captivating history of our ancient past.
