What did the Phoenicians Invent?
* The Alphabet, from which the entire European alphabet comes from, from Greek to Latin to modern. * The Library of Byblos: the world “bible” comes from the Phoenician word for “book”. * The City of Carthage in North Africa: it was a beautiful city created by Phoenician colonists, until it was destroyed by the Romans. * The Phoenicians were exploring the Mediterranean world centuries before any Europeans did. They sailed as far as Spain, and many believe they may have sailed all the way to England and Wales for tin.
