Phoenician ruins in Jbeil, Lebanon

Phoenicia Rising

Phoenicia was a vibrant ancient civilization that thrived along the Mediterranean coast, spanning what is now Syria, Lebanon, and northern Israel. This maritime powerhouse was renowned for its remarkable ships, adorned with horses' heads in honor of their sea god, Yamm. The cities of Tyre and Sidon were the pillars of Phoenician power, while Gebal/Byblos and Baalbek served as significant spiritual centers.

Los fenicios eran conocidos por crear finas capas de pan de oro, que cortaban en tiras y retorcían para crear hilos de oro. En estas láminas de una máscara funeraria real de los siglos VI-IV a.C., crearon el relieve de los ojos y boca mediante repujado. 📷invaluable #fenicios #fenicia #phoenicians #phoenicia

🧬 **Phoenician culture spread mainly through cultural exchange**

"_Individuals with North African ancestry lived next to and intermingled with a majority of people of mainly Sicilian-Aegean ancestry in all sampled Punic sites, including Carthage. Moreover, genetic networks across the Mediterranean suggest that shared demographic processes—such as trade, intermarriage, and population mixing—played a critical role in shaping these communities._"

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. 🏛️Museo Nacional de Beirut #fenicios #fenicia #phoenicians #phoenicia

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.

El púrpura de Tiro se producía con las secreciones mucosas de la glándula hipobranquial de los caracoles marinos Murex. Debe su nombre debido a los fenicios, que producían un tinte de calidad pero exclusivo de monarcas, pues era muy caro por la poca cantidad que se obtenía por cada animal.📷Wardell Armstrong #color #fenicios #phoenicians #fenicia #phoenicia
