Year: 1974 Language: english Author: Maitland A. Edey Genre: History Publisher: Time-Life Books, Inc. Edition: First ISBN: 9780809413164 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 172 Description: The present book examines the seafaring history of the Phoenicians, whose achievements as seafarers, sea traders and colonizers have not been widely heralded. The Phoenicians remained in history as the inventors of the alphabet, and of a process for dyeing wool to a deep royal purple colour. As they started to travelled the sea at the end of the second Millenium BC, a time at which their fathers had been content to live for centuries in a few city states, they brought with them skills from their homeland that were quickly mastered within the colonies that they established, among which was Carthage. They did not go away for conquest, as the Babylonians and the Assyrians did, but for trade. Profit than plunder was their policy. In the peaceful penetration of new markets, the Phoenicians became the first Easterners to discover the Atlantic and to bear with them a useful invention, the alphabet. Had they not done so, the story of the Western world might have taken quite another turn.
