The ancient city of Sidon, in Phoenicia (now, Lebanon) | |
| 33 User ID: 23338584  Russia12/13/2012 01:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sidon or Saida is the third-largest city in Lebanon. It is located in the Governorate South of Lebanon, on the Mediterranean coast, about 40 km (25 mi) north of Tyre and 40 km (25 mi) south of the capital Beirut. In Genesis, Sidon is the son of Canaan the grandson of Noah. Its name coincides with the modern Arabic word for fishery. Sidon has been inhabited since very early in prehistory. The archaeological site of Sidon II shows a lithic assemblage dating to the Acheulean, whilst finds at Sidon III include a Heavy Neolithic assemblage suggested to date just prior to the invention of pottery.[1] It was one of the most important Phoenician cities, and may have been the oldest. From here, and other ports, a great Mediterranean commercial empire was founded. [link to en.wikipedia.org] Latitude of Sidon: 33 degrees and 33 minutes North  |

It's located in Lake Victoria, Africa, and it's very close to the point where the Nile River begins. This point can be considered "the source" of the waters of the Nile... Cool, uh? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 13183991 Russia12/13/2012 01:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cool thread. I'm interested in ancient Phoenicia, their homeland along the coast of Lebanon, and the huge sea trading network they created around the Mediterranean, of which most of their colonies are still major ports today, 3,500 years later. Quoting: Thor's Hamster Phoenicians created the Alphabet (representing sounds, and not ideas like the previous scripts), and were responsible for spreading it along the Mediterranean coasts... Some people claim the Phoenician navigators reached the Americas, and had contacts with pre-Mayan Central American civilizations... Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city. |

Quoting: Thor's Hamster It’s very likely that they made it to North America during the time of Solomon. Solomon and Hiram were allied and probably sanctioned transatlantic travel before the birth of Christ even. Fantastic stuff. The Phoenicians are very interesting, the whole cult of Baal is kind of stupid though. I tell ya, we just can’t get rid of these Baal worshippers. Let’s make it 110. XIV |
