"Phoenician" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
The Phoenician refers to an ancient Semitic people who lived in the eastern Mediterranean from around 1500 BCE to 300 BCE. The Phoenicians were a thalassocratic (sea-based) civilization that flourished in the city-states of Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos, which are now part of modern-day Lebanon. They were skilled traders, sailors, and craftsmen and are known for their extensive trade networks, which extended as far as Britain and the Iberian Peninsula. The Phoenicians are also credited with the development of the alphabet, which was the first written language in the Near East.
