The Greek alphabet was thought up by the phoenicians.
Well Phoenicians spread in their trade was an alphabet.. While on the other hand Assyrians built the greatest empire the world had ever seen :)
The Phoenicians likely learned their gold working skills from the Egyptians, who were known for their advanced goldsmithing techniques. The Phoenicians traded extensively with the Egyptians and other civilizations in the ancient Near East, allowing them to acquire and adopt various skills and knowledge in different fields, including goldworking.
The Phoenicians had several favorite trading partners, including Egypt, Assyria, and Greece. They traded with Egypt for their papyrus, Assyria for metals such as copper, and Greece for luxury goods like pottery and wine. These trading relationships were based on mutual economic benefits, as the Phoenicians could acquire valuable resources and goods from their partners, which they then traded with other civilizations.
Indian ocean and the Arabian Sea.
The rivers allowed irrigation which helped them grow crops. This helped civilizations grow. Other civilizations including Alexander the Great, Romans, and Persians developed better armies to destroy these civilizations.
The Phoenicians fought against various civilizations during their time, including the Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. However, their conflicts were primarily driven by trade and competition rather than territorial expansion or conquest.
Trade helped the Phoenicians by allowing them to grow wealthy and powerful through their dominance of maritime trade routes in the Mediterranean. They traded goods such as purple dye, glassware, and cedar wood, creating extensive networks and partnerships with other civilizations. This brought them prosperity and cultural exchange.
They were only ones that call there ruler (Phaorhs) and had better crops and living condisions
How do you think the ancient world would have been different if the Phoenicians had not been such good sailors and traders? What if they had not started colonies around the Mediterranean? How do you think other civilizations have developed differently without their influence?
They did not fight each other - one was in he Levant, the other in Crete.
Comparing civilizations is completely nonsensical because the very evolution into the modern time is attributed to each of the civilizations that preceded it. To say that a certain civilization is better than the rest based on the time that they came into being is futile and unthinking at the same time.
