    The earliest rendition of a fully useable Alphabetic script was from the Canaanite city of Ugarit (just north of Arvad of the coast of the Levant in modern day Syria), just before the bronze age collapse 1300-1190 BC. The Ugaritic alphabet is the direct ancestor of the later Phoenician alphabet which they exposed the entire Mediterranean world to and other Alphabetic scrips evolved from that-One of which I am using now to write this comment

      I aree. I would not really called Hebrews their enemies. They had quite close ties and trade was a big factor between Israel and Phonecian cities. Also some information about for instance currency used in Kingdom of Israel comes from archeological sites in former Phonecia, so sometimes it is other way around.

      They did for sure, this is attested by Egyptian records (the Egyptians paid for the trip) and the most notorious evidence of its truthfulness is something that raised many eyebrows back in the day: they claimed to have seen the Sun to the North at noon. Another great Phoenician (Carthaginian) sailor was Hanno the navigator, who traveled all the way to Cameroon (documenting an eruption of the volcano of the same name) and further south maybe to Congo but didn't find anywhere interesting to trade with so they came back empty-handed.
      More difficult to believe is their alleged arrival to America based on some stuff found in Brazil (unsure of the details right now) but in any case it's clear to me that if Carthage would have won the Punic wars, America would have been "discovered" by Westerners a thousand years earlier than it was. Those people were real sailors, not like landlubber Romans.
      As for Scandinavia, it's now clear that Greeks went all the way to that area, so why not Phoenicians whom we know were trading at Cornwall for tin?

      I don't see that much of influence because the Iberian Peninsula was romanized to a great degree later (two emperor were patricians born there) and while the Lusitanians kept fighting Romans for some time, the majority of local inhabitants of what would be labelled later as Hispania, were likely to be ethnically Celts. Even after Roman collapse it was the Visigoths who took over, and in general they assimilated more of the local culture, than imposed theirs (for example, they eventually converted from Arianism to Trinitarianism) only with the Muslim invasion, there was a big shift in local culture and language, that not only evolved naturally as Latin did everywhere, but also assimilated Arabic words.

It took the Romans just over 2 centuries even after the fall of Carthage and Hannibal to subdue and Romanize most of the Celtic and Iberian tribes in Hispania. They lost a few legions in the process. I read somewhere that even the women from some of the tribes in the north charged the Romans never showing their backs to them, preferring to die in battle or even choosing to kill themselves and their children rather than be taken as slaves by the Romans.

      edstar83 The Celtiberian groups to hold out longest against Romanization were the Astures and the Cantabri of the North. Caesar Augustus himself had to personally lead his legions deep into the Cantabrian highlands and have his generals bribe the most corruptible elements of the neighboring lowland clans in order to finally put an end to the protracted Cantabrian Wars. (Some of the surviving Cantabri would go on to accompany the Romans later in various campaigns in Britannia.)
      Interestingly, the Cantabri [still strongly Celtic in orientation and among the least Romanized groups inhabiting the peninsula] were the first Iberian group to be formally integrated into the nobility of the Visigothic court - in recognition of the critical role they played in aiding Don Pelagius’ forces in the destruction of the Muslim horde during the battle of Covadonga. This Celtibero-Gothic union was formalized via the marriage of Pelagius’ daughter to the son of Peter of Cantabria.
      the union of Don Pelagius’ daughter and the son of Duke Fruela of Cantabria. (They would go on to have an heir who would be formally recognized as the first of king of Hispania, Alfonso I of Asturies.)

      This means that the Phoenician alphabet, and by extension the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic scripts are all descendants of the hieroglyphs!

    Thank you, i liked this a lot. It makes me crazy that there is almost no record of their spectacular contribution to the world mostly it seems because they used paper and left nothing in granite or other hard rock. They invented writing as we know it but didn't back- up their writing with a hard copy. I love those weird Pheenician figurines - i listened to the lecture by Dr. Scott - I have no doubt you know the work. It was great. would like to see more. Thank you for this.

      But who is this Messiah? One man fulfills all that is required in this passage. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the Jewish world and proclaimed his messiahship 483 years after the decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem was issued. In the year 30 C. E., Jesus was executed by crucifixion. Daniel indicated that he would be cut off, not for himself, but rather for others. Isaiah 53 also prophesied the death of the Messiah, pointing out that he would die a substitutionary death on behalf of his people Israel. The teaching of the New Covenant is that Jesus died a penal death by taking upon himself the penalty of the Law as a substitute for his people. In keepinng with Daniel 9:24, he died for the purpose of making an atonement for sins. Three days after his death, he was resurrected. Finally, the New Covenant proclaims the fact that he will someday return to set up his kingdom and the age of righteousness.
      If Daniel was right, then Messiah came and died prior to the year 70 C.E. If Daniel was right, then there are no other options for who the Messiah is, but Jesus of Nazareth. If Daniel was right, this Jesus is destined to return and to set up the messianic kingdom.

      @MICHAEL GOLD I'm well-aware. But Hebrew had an advantage in that it was brought back by people who didn't already have a common language. Everyone in Lebanon already speaks Arabic. This is the problem Celtic languages are having as well.

    The Phoenicians spoke the Canaanite language dialect which was very close to another Canaanite dialect - Hebrew. Both were mutually INTELLIGIBLE and the modern Israeli schoolchildren are able to understand the ancient Phoenician texts. Isn't it amazing?

      Yes and no. I think an educated Hebrew speaker could understand 80%-90% of Phoenician but the traditions and deities are different.
      Schoolchildren often lack the linguistic ability to make connections.

      A modern Hebrew speaker would mainly understand written Phoenician, but would struggle with the ancient accent in a spoken language.

      Anything past Justinian bores you? Sounds like you don't appreciate South Asian and East Asian history very much, then, because medieval India and China had large prosperous empires, like the Chola dynasty of southern India that conquered much of Southeast Asia, or the Tang dynasty of China that invaded northern Korea, retained northern Vietnam, conquered much of southern Mongolia and eastern Central Asia, and fought the Tibetan Empire.
