Phoenicians Build Cities and Trade Across the Sea
A fourth grade paper by Margaret Mearns of Glendale school Alpena notes Phoenicians moved across regions seeking pasture and safety. They settled a 200 by 2 mile strip near Lebanon mountains, built cedar ships, practiced fishing, dyes from sea creatures, and later manufactured goods for trade. They became sailors who feared the sea at first, learned its realities, and helped Greeks with exchange. The Phoenicians also crafted the first alphabet.
