The really BIG contribution of the Phoenicians was the alphabet. It's been refined, but it is basically the same alphabet we in the West use. Also, in a round about way, they helped Rome to expand its territories and wealth. Carthage was a city fouded by the Phoenicians, and when the Romans won the Punic wars, they took over all Carthage's territories and the wealth that came with them.

The Phoenicians' most lasting legacy is probably the invention of the alphabet, which had direct influences on later languages and also on our alphabet today.
