Exploring ancient and medieval history from around the world.

Video Description

In this program, we'll take a look at the coastal Canaanite people whom the Greeks called the Phoenician. Though the Phoenicians left behind many inscriptions, few of them give any details with regard to their long and illustrious history. For that, we often have to consult Assyrian, Biblical, Egyptian and Greek sources. This video will reconstruct the their history and introduce you to the famous Phoenician cities of Byblos, Sidon, Tyre, Beirut and Akko (Acre). In other episodes, we'll take a look at other aspects of Phoenician life, culture and literature.
