The Phoenician alphabet was important because it was easier to read than cuneiform, it was made out of letters, not picture symbols. It made life easier for the Phoenicians and it helped trade spread. It also evolved many other alphabets like the Greek, Latin, and of course the English alphabet. Some parts in the bible are written in Phoenician.

The alphabet used for Hebrew was a derivative of the original Phoenician alphabet. However, as fellow Expert Dick Harfield notes, the languages themselves are "cousins" and not directly descended from one another. The alphabet was simply a "technology" that the Hebrew-speakers used to record their language.

The Phoenicians were a Semitic people who established an early civilization - from about 1200 BCE - on the Mediterranean coast near what is now Lebanon and western Syria where they established a series of independent city-states (eg Sidon, Tyre, Byblos, with a major city-state in Tunisia - Carthage). They were also one of the strongest of the maritime powers of their time.

They established trading colonies and posts all around the Mediteranean basin, in North Africa (Morroco, Tunisia, Lybia, Algeria, Egypt), the Italian peninsula, Sicily, Corsica, Spain, Portugal, Babylon. Phoenicia as a state and civilization lasted from 1550 BC to 300 BC when the main territory was conquered by the Persians.

The cities in the east were taken over by Persia, then the Hellenistic kingdoms in the 3rd Century BCE. The city of Carthage fought a century-long war with the rising power Rome and was demolished. By the 1st Century BCE Rome had absorbed the eastern cities as well into is empire.

As an ethnicity, the Phoenician were of Semite origin but were a mix of tribes which had moved in from the east into Lebanon and Syria.

They produced the alphabet from which Greece and Rome developed theirs. They are credited with inventing the bireme.

The Phoenicians were conquered by Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC, and then were divided into four vassal kingdoms thereafter.

They traded around the mediterranean sea purple and showed people how to use the alphabet. They lived in colonies and were spread out by Cyrus the great.

They traded dyestuffs (Tyrian purple), salt, cedar logs, perfume, cloth, and glass trinkets. As they expanded their trade west through the Mediterranean and east to Mesopotamia, they engaged in carriage trade, ie shipping other peoples' produce for them, which extended their trade goods to include grains, spices, metals, skins, meat, garments, even going as far as Cornwall for tin.

The Phoenicians lived in a two hundred mile long strip bordering the Mediterranean Sea, so they were sea traders. They made purple cloth that was very expensive and prized among royalty that was made from a dye produced by a sea snail called a murex. They also had many cedar trees growing there, so they used them to build boats and furniture. They were excellent sea traders who produced the first alphabet that consisted of 22 consonants and they gave it away, the Greeks took this alphabet and turned it into their own alphabet.
