Kids History lesson on the Phoenicians.
The Phoenicians were an ancient seafaring civilization. They were the creators of the alphabet. While they didn't have any major rivers in their land, they enjoyed huge prosperity by setting out to sea and trading their way to the top. This video covers the history of Phoenicia including how they sailed, settled and traded all over the Mediterranean Sea. They founded great cities like Tyre, Sidon, Byblos and the City of Carthage (The story of Dido and Carthage in included). Also the Phoenicians were skilled craftsmen in textiles and glass making. They even boiled Murex Shellfish snails to make purple dye called Tyrian Purple which was so expensive only ancient royalty could afford it. While its not officially a cradle of civilization the Phoenicians were very important because of the alphabet based on phonics that led to the creation of many modern written languages. The phoenicians had a huge impact on History. We hope you enjoy this history lesson for kids on Phoenicia. Enjoy! And please help us out by subscribing to our channel and liking this video.
