Yes. They were at highest peak of human civilization

>and it's possible that words we assume were borrowed from germanic languages and incorporated into finnic languages were actually the other way around
How would you explain cognates showing up in other Indo-European languages, some very far away from any Finnic speakers?

Just found this

>Punic, the Semitic language spoken in classical Carthage, is a superstratum of the Germanic languages. According to Vennemann, Carthaginians colonized the North Sea region between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC; this is evidenced by numerous Semitic loan words in the Germanic languages, as well as structural features such as strong verbs, and similarities between Norse religion and Semitic religion. This theory replaces his older theory of an unknown Semitic substrate language he called "Atlantidic" or "Semitidic". The Runic alphabet is derived directly from the Phoenician alphabet used by the Carthaginians, without intervention by the Greek alphabet. The Germanic sound shift is dated to the 6th to 3rd centuries BC, as evidenced by the fact that some presumed Punic loan words participated in it, while others did not.

Well I'm talking specifically about words that appear in germanic languages that aren't indo-european in origin.
