Phoenicians: Lebanon's Epic Heritage

Product Description
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. Elected a member of the prestigious Royal Historical Society for his work in this field, Holst has presented academic papers on the Phoenicians at universities around the world. Working with respected experts, often on-site, he 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.
Review
Thoroughly researched and clearly written . . . a welcome addition to all libraries. --David Northrup, Ph.D.
One of the most fascinating books I have ever read. If you are even remotely interested in reading about early civilizations including Phoenicians, Jews, Persians, Arabs, or Greeks you have to read this book. I just cannot put it down! --
