En el templo de los obeliscos de Reshef y el templo de Baalat Gebal, entre otros, en Biblos, se encontraron miles de exvotos del segundo milenio antes de nuestra era. Se ha observado que fueron producidas y ofrecidas en masa. Dado que a menudo muestran a soldados y al dios bélico Reshef, pudieron entregarse antes de una campaña militar.

Los fenicios no dominaron largas rutas marítimas solo con arrojo y paciencia. En el siglo VIII a.C. ya disponían de potentes birremes, con contundentes espolones y una tripulación numerosa. Museo Británico #fenicios #fenicia #phoenicians #phoenicia #barcos #ship

Putting Phoenicia on the Map. From the Greeks to Ernest Renan’s Mission

"This imaginary Phoenicia entered historiography and
cartography as a reality, not only in France but also in the
Ottoman Realm, then the sovereign entity over the Levant.
The toponym was used, anachronistically, for Biblical
maps to refer to the Sidonians and the Tyrians of the Ancient Testament. Already, in the popular Van Dyck-Smith Arabic translation of the Bible, the versions illustrated with maps showed a “Phoenicia” in the time of David and Solomon."

Yes, Yehawmilk is a real name lol. He was King of Byblos (Phoenicia - modern day central Lebanon).

FYI, the word Bible comes from Byblos... Byblos was a major port where papyrus—a material used for making scrolls and early books—was imported and traded throughout the ancient world.

We talk a lot about Palestine, and with good reason, but so much is also at risk in Lebanon, including its great cultural riches!

This is a Phoenician artifact currently in the Louvre collection in Paris.

**Phoenician Trade Associations in Ancient Greece**

"_Such associations were a Phoenician invention of the 4th century BCE that emerged in migrant communities in Athens to represent their interests and provide them a social and physical space for maintaining religious and other cultural ties to their home state._"

"_The extent to which the worship of Baal and Asherah affected Israel’s understanding of Yahweh is seen in the inscriptions found at Kuntillet Ajrud. Jezebel was not fully responsible for the ongoing worship of Canaanite deities in Israel and Judah but her reign gave legitimacy to the long held tendency._"

"We argue that during the Late Iron IIA, the Kingdom of Israel, probably under the Omrides, replaced a small Phoenician village with a fortified casemate enclosure in order to control and institutionalise the production of the dye and other industries. These peaked under Jeroboam II, and subsequently the fort was ravaged during the period of unrest in Israel after this monarch’s reign."

"This paper compares Rider Haggard’s use of this analogy in his novel Elissa or the Doom of Zimbabwe with other writers of his time who compared Britain to the Phoenicians. Haggard emerges as deeper, more wide-ranging and sophisticated in his use of the ‘Phoenician analogy’ than other writers who employed it."

"The name #Phoenicia is an ancient Greek exonym that did not correspond precisely to a cohesive culture or society as it would have been understood natively. It is debated whether Phoenicians were actually distinct from the broader group of Semitic-speaking peoples known as #Canaanites."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia
"They were renowned among contemporaries as skilled traders and mariners, becoming the dominant commercial power for much of classical antiquity."

Pátera fenicia de plata bañada en oro encontrado c. 675 a.C. en la tumba de Bernardini, en Palestrina, Italia. Muestra varias escenas con estilo similar al egipcio en anillos concéntricos, comenzando por una serpiente que rodea el cuenco. Muestra escenas en 3 anillos concéntricos: una serpiente en el contorno, un rey de caza salvado de un monstruo por una diosa; caballos y ave y un enemigo sometido por el monarca. #phoenicia #fenicia #Etruria Museo Nacional Etrusco

En la necrópolis de Magharet Abloun ("caverna de Apolo"), en Sidón, se encontró este sarcófago del siglo II d.C. entre reyes y nobles fenicios. Destaca por el barco mercante (gauloi) fenicio en uno de sus extremos, que podría representar la fuente de riqueza del mecenas del sarcófago, y una guirnalda sostenida por leones en el lateral, con estilo romano. #fenicia #phoenicia #sidon Museo Nacional de Beirut

Oración fenicia del 500 a.C. encontrada en Malta:

Ríete, oh fuerte de corazón, de tu enemigo,
diviértete, debilita y ataca al adversario
desprécialo, aplástalo sobre las aguas;
derríbalo
sobre el mar, átalo, cuélgalo.

Yamm (from the Semitic word yam for 'sea', also known as Yam and Yam-Nahar) was the god of the sea in the pantheon of the Canaanite-Phoenicians. https://www.worldhistory.org/Yamm/ #History #Hebrew #Phoenicia #PhoenicianReligion

Did you know that the Phoenician had a democratic system some 500 years prior to #ancient #Athens?

In 1100 BC, an #Egyptian trader travelled to Byblos in #Phoenicia. Before he could leave, he was ambushed by pirates.

The Phoenician prince was called to negotiate & he called on "the assembly", a subset of citizens. They decided the trader's fate.

Thus, at least a partial #democracy was already there & may have influenced the Athenians.
