  A Short History of the Phoenicians: Revised Edition

  Offering new insights based on recent archaeological discoveries in their heartland of modern-day Lebanon, Mark Woolmer presents a fresh appraisal of this fascinating, yet elusive, Semitic people. Discussing material culture, language and alphabet, religion (including sacred prostitution of women and boys to the goddess Astarte), funerary custom and trade and expansion into the Punic west, he explores Phoenicia in all its paradoxical complexity. Viewed in antiquity as sage scribes and intrepid mariners who pushed back the boundaries of the known world, and as skilled engineers who built monumental harbour cities like Tyre and Sidon, the Phoenicians were also considered (especially by their rivals, the Romans) to be profiteers cruelly trading in human lives. The author shows them above all to have been masters of the sea: this was a civilization that circumnavigated Africa two thousand years before Vasco da Gama did it in 1498.The Phoenicians present a tantalizing face to the ancient historian. Latin sources suggest they once had an extensive literature of history, law, philosophy and religion; but all now is lost. In this revised and updated edition, Woolmer takes stock of recent historiographical developments in the field, bringing the present edition up to speed with contemporary understanding.

  Luckys Böser Engel (eBook, ePUB)

  Aaron "Lucky" Gates hatte nie viel Glück gehabt - in der Liebe und im Leben. Aus einer Mischung von Verzweiflung und Druck seines draufgängerischen Bruders Daniel wurde Aaron in eine Biker-Gang gezogen und schuldig gesprochen für einen Überfall, den Daniel begangen hatte, wodurch er zehn Jahre hinter Gittern verbrachte. Nun ist er Türsteher im einzigen Club von Phoenicia und kämpft damit, sein Leben wiederaufzubauen, während sein Bruder versucht, ihn zurück in die Gang zu drängen. Das einzige Licht in seinem Leben ist, neben seinen Freunden auf Arbeit und seinem Hund Moose, das süße, hübsche Mädchen, mit dem er freiwillig in der Kirche arbeitet.Es gibt allerdings zwei Probleme: Sie ist erst einundzwanzig und sie ist die Tochter von Pastor Alderson. Er geht auf die vierzig zu und hat nichts in der Nähe eines Mädchens zu suchen, das so rein ist, dass es wahrscheinlich eine ganze Herde Einhörner anlocken könnte. Das denkt er zumindest.Julia sieht das etwas anders. Sie schaut Aaron an und sieht einen großen, einsamen Bär von einem Mann, der sie nicht nur anzieht, sondern ihr auch ein Gefühl von Sicherheit gibt. Sie möchte, dass ihr Vater das versteht, doch das könnte Jahre dauern. Und auch wenn sie eine gute Person ist, ist sie nicht so unschuldig, wie die Männer in ihrem Leben glauben.

  Sidon: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Phoenician City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min

  Of all the peoples of the ancient Near East, the Phoenicians are among the most recognizable but also perhaps the least understood. The Phoenicians never built an empire like the Egyptians and Assyrians; in fact, the Phoenicians never created a unified Phoenician state but instead existed as independent city-state kingdoms scattered throughout the Mediterranean region. However, despite the fact there was never a Phoenician empire, the Phoenicians proved to be more prolific in their exploration and colonization than any other peoples in world history until the Spanish during the Age of Discovery. The Phoenicians were well-known across different civilizations throughout the ancient world, and their influence can be felt across much of the West today because they are credited with inventing the forerunner to the Greek alphabet, from which the Latin alphabet was directly derived. Nonetheless, the Phoenicians left behind few written texts, so modern historians have been forced to reconstruct their past through a variety of ancient Egyptians, Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek, and Roman sources. It's not even clear what the Phoenicians called themselves, because the name Phoenician is derived from the Greek word phoinix, which possibly relates to the dyes they produced and traded (Markoe 2000, 10). The mystery of the ancient Phoenicians is further compounded by the fact that archaeologists have only been able to excavate small sections of the three primary Phoenician cities: Byblos, Sidon, and Tyre. For centuries the port city of Sidon served as the capital of the Phoenician homeland, the administrative center of their maritime trading network, and the holy center of one of the most popular Levantine religious cults. Located in southern Phoenicia about 30 miles south of the present-day Lebanese capital of Beirut, the settlement has a narrative that stretches far into the depths of prehistory. The oldest archaeological remains date from the secon ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/076313/bk_acx0_076313_sample.mp3.
