Phoenicians

Now, for the first time, read the complete story of these remarkable people and the ancient Mediterranean.

The Phoenicians arose on the shores of Lebanon, became masters of rich sea trade, brought us the alphabet, purple cloth, Carthage and Hannibal. That much everyone knows. But there was much more to their story.

They were intimately involved with the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians in many of the epic events of the ancient Mediterranean. Through their eyes we now learn much more about those great events. Egyptian records show Phoenician cedar was brought to the Nile while the Great Pyramid was being built. These sea traders supplied the Minoans on Crete, and competed with the Mycenaeans of Greece. Phoenician cities survived the Sea Peoples' destruction, then spread westward to plant colonies as far as Spain and Morocco. Their great colony at Carthage became a metropolis of over 500,000 people. Yet their cities in Lebanon fell to Alexander the Great, and Carthage fell to the early Romans in fiery battles.

Deeply researched, this book used 113 sources, yet it is freshened with many maps and pictures. And it is not just about battles, monuments and papyrus scrolls. It is about flesh and blood people who emerged from the cedars of Lebanon, experienced the desperation of numerous defeats and the euphoria of many triumphs, and whose descendants and accomplishments still live today. It is a thoroughly readable and highly enjoyable experience.
