Phoenicians: Lebanon's Epic Heritage

The mysterious Phoenicians and the ancient Mediterranean are experienced in richer detail than ever before in this well researched and intriguing narrative. Instead of seeing darkness in the years before classical Greece, we now see glimmers of light revealing a continuous parade of remarkable societies, great leaders and epic events. Drawing back the veil of secrecy surrounding the Phoenicians uncovers new glimpses of Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and people of other societies. Sanford Holst is one of the world's leading authorities on the Phoenicians, and appears in the BBC series Ancient Worlds. He has presented academic papers on the Phoenicians at universities around the world, and was elected an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Working with respected experts, often on-site, Holst has added photos, sources, and ten years of additional research to his previous work. This is a walk through the idyllic ancient Mediterranean you will long remember.
