About this audiobook
The term "Phoenicians" describes the people living in Phoenicia, a sometimes-forgotten civilization that was age-old and remarkable. Let's check out the tradition, the history, and the specifics of Phoenicia.
Phoenicia was a thalassocratic (a state with mostly maritime worlds) society that thrived in the eastern Mediterranean's Levant area, mainly in modern-day Lebanon. It was fixated the coast of Lebanon, with some seaside parts of modern-day Syria and Galilee included for good procedure, varying as far north as Arwad and as far south as Acre and perhaps Gaza. Phoenician civilization stretched the Mediterranean from Cyprus to the Iberian Peninsula between 1100 and 200 BC.
The Phoenicians were a Semitic-speaking people who appeared in the Levant roughly 3000 BC and spoke a Semitic language.
In this book, you will learn more about this ancient civilization.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, I must say. 5 stars! By far the greatest thing that's happened to me this week. In my opinion, it was just one of those audio books you can not avoid.
