I always tought this explanation to be quite weak, giving that there's a lot of desertic and semi-desertic cultures that eat pork : Egyptians, Phenicians, Cannanites, Mesopotamians, Berbers...
So what? Only Hebrews were clever enough to find out?
Yes. Given how little the Phoenicians influenced the modern world, they probably weren't that bright.
(I 100% agree with you).
