The Phoenicians

The Phoenicians 00

Their major trade routes were by sea to the Greek islands, across southern Europe, down the Atlantic coast of Africa, and up to ancient Britain. In addition, Arabia and India were reached via the Red Sea, and vast areas of Western Asia were connected to the homeland via land routes where goods were transported by caravan.

By the 9th century BCE, the Phoenicians had established themselves as one of the greatest trading powers in the ancient world.

The Phoenicians, based on a narrow coastal strip of the Levant, put their excellent seafaring skills to good use and created a network of colonies and trade centers across the ancient Mediterranean.

The art of the ancient Phoenicians, which flourished between the 19th and 4th centuries BCE, was exported throughout Mesopotamia and the ancient Mediterranean. Best known for their work on small decorative objects, Phoenician artists skillfully blended influences from neighboring cultures to produce a unique artistic heritage that has only relatively recently been brought out of the shadow of a wider Syrian art history. ** (Article by Mark Cartwright || Photos by Osama S.M.

Who Were the Phoenicians? – National Geographic Magazine

On the coast of modern-day Tunisia flourished the great port city of Carthage: the magnificent capital of a superpower that rivaled Ancient Rome.
Carthage, a remarkable city-state that dominated the Mediterranean for over 600 years, harnessed their extensive resources to develop some of the ancient world’s most groundbreaking technology. For generations, Carthage defined power, strength and ingenuity, but by the third century B.C., the empire’s existence was threatened by another emerging superpower, Rome. However, when the Romans engineered their empire, they were only following the lead of the Carthaginians. From the city’s grand harbor to the rise of one of history’s greatest generals — Hannibal Barca — we will examine the architecture and infrastructure that enabled the rise and fall of the Carthaginian Empire.

The Phoenician Religion, as in many other ancient cultures, was an inseparable part of everyday life. Gods such as Baal, Astarte, and Melqart had temples built in their name, offerings and sacrifices were regularly made to them, royalty performed as their high priests, and even ships carried their representations. Influenced by their predecessors and neighbours, the Phoenicians would spread their beliefs around the Mediterranean wherever they traded and established colonies, and their religion would continue to evolve and be perpetuated by their greatest colony of all, Carthage. ** (Article by Mark Cartwright) ancient.eu/Phoenician_Religion/

Carthage, a seaside suburb of Tunisia’s capital, Tunis, is known for its Punic and Roman archaeological sites. It was the seat of the powerful Carthaginian Empire, which fell to Rome in the 2nd century B.C.E. Today it retains a scattered collection of ancient baths, theaters, villas and other ruins, many with sweeping views of the Gulf of Tunis.
