[edit] Proper text!

This article is a partial copy of Timeline of Portuguese history (Pre-Roman). It urgently needs proper text. This kind of article is bad within a concept of a free encyclopedia as both articles will develop independently. Please help turning the chronology into a normal article. Thanks.

[edit] Phoenician foundation of Lisbon?

This article states the following:

The myth of a Phoenician foundation of the city as far back as 1300 BC, under the name Alis Ubbo ("Safe Harbour") is unreal.

However, the wiki article on Lisbon states:

Archeological findings show that a Phoenician trading post existed in the place that, since 1200 B.C., has occupied the centre of the city. The magnificent natural harbour provided by the estuary of the river Tagus made it the ideal spot for a settlement to provide foodstuffs to Phoenician ships travelling to the tin islands (modern Isles of Scilly) and Cornwall. The new city was named Alis Ubbo or "safe harbor" in Phoenician.

[edit] Proposal to merge Prehistoric Spain with Prehistoric Portugal and Pre-Roman Portugal & move to Prehistoric Iberia

Currently, the text of Prehistoric Spain seems really to be about prehistoric Iberia. Similarly, the text of Prehistoric Portugal seems really to be about the same thing. This would be perfectly understandable seeing as there was no Spain and no Portugal in prehistoric times. I have argued therefore that it would be best to have these articles merged under a title which indicates the geographical region rather than the modern states. I have proposed the articles be merged and moved to Prehistoric Iberia. Please come and discuss the proposal. Jimp 09:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Jim. If the merge goes through, what shall we do with Pre-Roman Portugal? You see, Prehistoric Spain encompasses a period that the "Portuguese" articles differentiated into Prehistoric Portugal and Pre-Roman Portugal. Should we merge them all? The Ogre 13:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

What's the status and outcome of this discussion. I began being against the proposed merge, but know I'm for it. Does anyone want a vote? The Ogre 17:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I also believe that Pre-Roman Portugal should be also merged. The Ogre 17:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
