I n this book, we’re going to talk about the Phoenician Civilization. So, let’s get right to it!






WHAT WAS PHOENICIA?
T he ancient civilization of Phoenicia was composed of city-states that were positioned along the Mediterranean coastline. The part of the coastline they occupied is today sections of the country of Syria, the country of Lebanon, and the northern region of Israel.

T yre, which was an island city, and Sidon were most influential of the city-states, while Baalbek and Byblos were the religious hubs. Byblos was the Greek name for the Phoenician city of Gebal. These regions of population began around 3200 BC and were well-established 500 years later. From the years 1500 BC to 332 BC, the Phoenician civilization was at its peak both as a sea trader as well as a center for manufacturing.
