In the bronze age, ships with keels were constructed and the Carthaginians were the first to use these ships. They were primarily interested in trade, as opposed to agriculture, and set up several trading posts in the Western Mediterranean. They were a semitic people and spoke a language very close to Hebrew and had a distinct culture, different Gods and traditions, for example child sacrifice. they were also known as Punics or Phoenicians.
