strong tradition that the Phoenicians who settled in North Africa(Mauritania) were driven out of Canaan by Joshua . A Greek historian named Procopius of Caesarea wrote in the sixth century AD, They [the Canaanites] also built a fortress in Numidia, where now is the city called Tigisis [probably in Algeria]. In that place are two columns made of white stone near by the great spring, having Phoenician letters cut in them which say in the Phoenician tongue:“We are they who fled from before the face of Joshua, the robber, the son of Nun”
