So it occurred to me that Europe is the only continent with a masculine name--all other continents names end in the feminine, and I decided to investigate this small level of subliminal messaging. Come to find out that Europes actual name is Europa and that name is based on a Greek myth about a Phonecian woman who was abducted by Zeus, dragged to the sea and impregnated. Phonecia is located in what is now called the Middle East (Lebanon) and is actually landlocked with Egypt and traded with most of the known ancient Mediterranean cultures. In other words, Europe is named after a Semitic woman.
