Story
The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

The Phoenicians remain one of the most enigmatic ancient civilizations, with historians and scholars prone to speculation and educated guesses. Although many Greek, Roman, and Egyptian writers reference the Phoenicians in trade records, military battles, and artistic transactions, few records were left by the original Phoenicians themselves, leaving modern scholars to fill in the blanks through educated guesses and material culture.

The Minoans were an ancient civilization that built their settlements on islands in the Aegean Sea. They lived almost 5,000 years ago and left behind traces of their lives, but not enough for people to create a complete picture. Ever since the early 20th century, the Minoans have been a subject of interest, thanks to the discoveries and excavations by Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist who found the first Minoan ruins and named them after the mythological King Minos and his Minotaur.

Publisher's Summary
Did you know the ancient Canaanites invented the alphabet?
The Bible references Canaan several times. For example, God commanded the Israelites to destroy the Canaanites following the Israeli flight from Egypt.
However, the actual history of this civilization doesn’t quite match theological sources. For one thing, the Canaanite civilization consisted of a multitude of different peoples from the same ethnic group but different cultures.
The region also had frequently redefined borders, and very few written records remain of Canaan, making it difficult for scholars to research. It can therefore be hard for people to find an easily understood and cohesive resource on this fascinating civilization.
But that is about to change. In this new captivating history audiobook, you will discover the truth about the ancient Canaanites.
The Ancient Canaanites: A Captivating Guide to the Canaanite Civilization That Dominated the Land of Canaan Before the Ancient Israelites includes:
- Revolutionary findings provided by modern archaeological detective techniques
- A simple explanation of what Caanan is and where it's located
- Fascinating discoveries of Canaanites artifacts
- Remarkable insights into their government and social structure
- Startling theories about the Bronze Age collapse
- What there is to know about the culture of the Canaanites
- The main conflict with Canaan that occurs early in the Bible and more shocking mentions in the Bible
- Religion and beliefs
- And much, much more!

White people narrative. And the Canaanites continued to exist after the establishment and destruction of Israel and Judea. The title itself is wrong. I couldn’t listen to the whole thing. Misrepresentation. And it’s now agreed that the Hyksos didn’t bring the chariot to Egypt. It’s also now agreed that Megiddo had no intention of reveling or attacking Egypt. Etc etc etc
