Seafaring Traders

Hi Kids, we are in the museum where we will find a lot of information about Seafaring traders, the topic that we saw yesterday.
Phoenicians founded a number of wealthy city-states around the Mediterranean Sea. The first cities in Phoenicia, such as Byblos, Tyre, and Sidon, were important trading centers.
About 1100 B.C. After Crete’s decline, the most powerful traders along the Mediterranean were the Phoenicians.
Phoenician contribution to the world was enormous. With a simplified alphabet, learning was now accessible to more people.
The Minoans dominated trade in the eastern Mediterranean from about 2000 to 1400 B.C.
They traded pottery, along with swords, figurines, and vessels of precious metals, over a large area.
Minoans lived on Crete, a large island on the southern edge of the Aegean Sea.
The Minoans produced some of the finest painted pottery of the time. These included a unique architecture, burial customs, and religious ritual. Minoan culture had a major influence on Greece.
Phoenicians had goods, traders carried ideas, religious beliefs, art, and ways of living. They helped with the process of cultural diffusion as well as with moving merchandise.
The archaeologists named the civilization they found in Crete Minoa as a consequence of King Minos.
These pottery jars with pointed bottoms are calles amphorae. They held oil or wine.
Phoenicians ships often were decorated with horse heads.
