So they named it the Land of Rabbits. But before you go wow I should warn you that the plot is about to take a twist. The Carthaginians spoke a phonetic language called Punic, which is Punic just like Spanish. Short Story They called it Hispania. When the Romans arrived they liked the name and decided to keep it with a slight tweak to make it more like Rome. Of course it is now called N in Spain. You'd think all these rabbits running around Carthage would give Spain a break but they ruined it anyway and you can hear more about it in this cool video.
Anyway archaeologists later found Roman coins in the area that had a female figure with a rabbit C Level Contact List at her feet so there must be something to it. Plot twist The Punic word in question actually means hyrax which is the cute little rodent you see below rather than a rabbit. Something got lost in translation. At least it's not the giant rabbit from Menorca that's millions of years too late. If these things go riot you won't be able to pay me any money for the invasion of Spain. This is a photo just to scare you. Malta. If that last bit scared you, this one might be more acceptable.
The island of Malta was once famous for its honey. is what brought it to us. It means honey. So the ancient Greeks called the island E which means honey or sweet after which the Romans called it. Maltese bees are small, dark-colored, have legs and shorter wings than ordinary bees. OMG this bee sounds so cute but he's super aggressive. I wish there wasn't a giant fossil version. Well as these things go there is another theory that Malta got its name from this word which is a Phoenician word meaning refuge or refuge which is not hard to imagine as.
