Deals heavily in the not so represented parts of Phoenician culture, like the artistic designs on the pottery, masks, funeral axes, stelae and such. It also deals with city planning and architecture, and the differences between the areas they settled like Cyprus, Sardinia and North Africa.

Great book. This book has inspired me to swim in the 7 Seas. The ones that the Phoenicians sailed.
