There was an extensive trade group in Northern Africa. We only know it existed. There are travel paths from Egypt to Morocco and Nigeria. Plenty of towns could be used as small ports. The ber ber and other Sudanese had references to it.
However, the trade group died during the 14th century crunch. This is when several cultures stop trading and close down. This one was so powerful every culture in the world seemed to do it or be effected by it. That's right when European groups began to expand, looking for new trade routes. This changed several trade groups, so it's hard to figure out the previous one.
The ottoman empire likely knew about it, but I don't know if they had anything written. The concepts like the trade group and crunch are very new, and being talked over by SJW majors.
If you see any validity to the “white israelite” argument, Phoenicians easily fit into that paradigm.

One of many videos on the subject by this guy (check his profile if it piques your interest)
Has he posted on the subject or am I just wooshing myself on something?
