Video Description

Before highways and railroads connected civilizations, it was the sea that carried the weight of global trade. From the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, great ports served as the arteries of commerce, linking distant empires and spreading goods, ideas, and culture. These were not mere docking points—they were power centers that determined the rise and fall of entire kingdoms. Some have vanished beneath the tides of time, while others still operate today, layered with millennia of history. This is a look at 20 ancient ports that once controlled the flow of the ancient world’s wealth. #ancient #port #ports #trade #world Several segments are licensed under creative commons https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode For more video information, please visit our website.
