The Influence and Trade of the Phoenician Civilization in the Mediterranean

The Phoenicians, located on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, established powerful colonies along North Africa, thriving on trade and the production of valuable goods such as purple dye, cedar, and various textiles. Their mastery of the seas was bolstered by the strategic use of stories about sea monsters to deter competition. They also developed a simplified alphabet of 22 symbols, facilitating communication and trade across cultures. This innovative script played a significant role in their influence over Mediterranean civilizations and beyond.
