- Hi kids, in today we are going to talk about the Seafaring traders. Phoenician civilization was flourished between 1550 and 300 b.c.e. Before the Greeks and the Romans, the Phoenicians ruled the Mediterranian Sea.
- This sounds intetesting
- They dominated trade in the eastern Mediterranean from about 2000 to 1400 B.C. They lived on Crete, a large island on the southern edge of the Aegean sea.
- They used the Mediteranian sea as a trade route in which they trade objects such as: Timber, ceramics, wool, etc.
- Yeah! I remember reading that on trading rout was crossing the Arabian Sea to ports on the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.
- The Phoenicians did not have a central government. Similar to the Greeks, their civilization consisted of a number of independent city-states.
- The archaeologists named the civilization they found in Crete Minoa after King Minos.
- King Minos was the ruler of Crete, and the son of Zeus
- In about 1700 B.C., a great disaster, perhaps an earthquake, destroyed most Minoan towns and cities. The Minoans rebuilt the cities with equal richness. Then in 1470 B.C. a series of earthquakes rocked Crete..
- The quakes were followed by a violent volcanic eruption on the neighboring island of Thera
