Before the Phoenicians, maritime trade in the Mediterranean Sea was primarily controlled by the Minoans and the Mycenaeans. The Minoans, based on the island of Crete, were known for their advanced maritime culture and trade networks, thriving from around 2000 to 1450 BCE. Following them, the Mycenaeans, who emerged around 1600 BCE, expanded trade routes and engaged in commerce across the Mediterranean, particularly with Egypt and the Near East. Their influence set the stage for the later dominance of the Phoenicians in maritime trade.

Where did greek words come from?
greeks as we all know come from Phoenicians the Phoenicians were a civilization that dates back to 1200 BC (late bronze age). Some historians will say that they existed as early as 1000 years before that. i think Greeks existed before that.. The Phoenicians and Greeks were trading partners. the word Phoenician is Greek and appears first in Greek writings about 900 BC. the word means red and that is because the Phoenicians were popular for making some kind of purple cloth. many historians believe that Greeks come form Phoenicians and the Greek alphabet was taken from the Phoenicians as well but archaeological findings prove otherwise. The Grecians were building cities in the beginning of the bronze age 3300 BC along with Egypt. Mesopotamia is a city that was built around that time and Mesopotamia is a Greek word. it means "in the rivers". This is a controversial question that has been argued by historians for a while now.
