The Phoenician cultures that dominated the coastlines of Ancient Spain, who founded the first cities in Europe, just a Cadiz, they
never existed and had zero influence on Spanish language and cultures and the entire culture of Spain is pedigree Latin?

The Phoenician cultures existed, yes. Their linguistic influence on the Spanish language, however, was minimal compared to Latin's.
The DMLBS has the following for definition 1b of ille, illa, illud:
as def. article, without demonstrative force
By the time the Romance languages developed to a certain point, Latin did have a definite article: it had pressed its demonstratives into service.
The Arabic prefix article ال (el-) is phonetically close to the Hebrew , אל
and with the Latin, Ille e.g. Magnus Ille Alexander ( Alexander the Great).
Gen 31:48 "This Hill"
ה זה (E GL)
ὁ βουνὸς (Septuagint)
ὁ κολωνός (dialectic translation)
la colina (Spanish)
collis (Latin )
What Latin word would go before "Collis" that equates with ὁ ?
