A history of Phoenician culture

One of the ancient civilizations with the most global influence is the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians made a lasting impression on the history of the Mediterranean, Middle East, and beyond with their vibrant culture. Between the years 1200-800 BC, a people called the Phoenicians lived in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, particularly along the coasts of what is now Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. From the Aegean Sea to the British Isles, they built an extensive trading network. As they traded and established colonies in faraway lands, their culture spread to a large portion of the globe and had a significant impact on ancient Rome and Greece. From Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Hittites, the Phoenicians were in touch with other ancient civilizations. In exchange for metals and goods from other civilizations, they exported wine, olive oil, silk, pottery, and other manufactured goods. In addition, the Phoenicians were skilled sailors who built extensive fleets of ships to facilitate their trading and expeditions. They came up with the alphabet, which served as the foundation for the Latin alphabet and, later, the English alphabet. The use of this alphabet, which revolutionized communication, continues today. Additionally, the Phoenicians made significant advancements in mathematics and science. They developed navigational techniques like measuring the positions of celestial bodies in the sky. They also created the study of astronomy and physics and the first known bases of geometry. The Phoenicians were also great artisans and architects, and they built grand structures like temples and palaces to decorate their cities. In addition, they made intricate jewelry and adorned their temples with statuettes and mosaics. From their contributions to the alphabet to the spread of their culture and trading practices throughout the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians left behind a legacy that continues to this day. The Phoenicians were powerful people whose ideas, institutions, and culture had a big impact on the civilizations of their time and the next.
