Lights Out Library
Sleep Storyteller
In this bedtime story, I tell you about the history of the Phoenicians and their cities (Byblos, Tyre, Sidon...), including the most famous of all: Carthage. I discuss various topics, like the Late Bronze Age Collapse, Phoenician culture, religion, and society, what Canaan and the Levant are, how ancient maritime trade worked, the rise of Carthage, and how the confrontation with Rome in the Punic Wars turned out.
