Hi, Phoenicia~

When Alexander the Great wanted to invade Tyre, he built a land bridge to cross the sea and reach it, turning the island into a peninsula, which stands to this day. So it's accurate to say that Alexander the Great didn't just make history, he made geography, too.

Ironically, jihadist terrorists (HTS) did what history couldn’t do for Alawites:
They pushed the Alawites from an ethnicity into a national identity. A turning point is happening—right now.

Barco de guerra fenicio en relieve asirio del palacio de Nínive. El barco tiene dos niveles. En el inferior, se ve dos hileras de remos y las cabezas de los remeros. Arriba, hay unos escudos o círculos y hay soldados, pero no se ve mucho más porque no se ha conservado. En el agua hay varios peces y un cangrejo.

Los fenicios no dominaron largas rutas marítimas solo con arrojo y paciencia. En el siglo VIII a.C. ya disponían de potentes birremes, con contundentes espolones y una tripulación numerosa. 🏛️Museo Británico #fenicios #fenicia #phoenicians #phoenicia #barcos #ship

Sea wall with aqua blue sea and clear blue sky behind. The corner of an arabesque castle.

Partially man made sea wall from ancient times with a large potion missing showing the sea and waves behind.

The ancient Phoenician sea wall was originally a natural structure composed of petrified sand dunes. It was reinforced gradually by the Phoenicians with rocks, and the wall as it stands today took its present shape in the first century BC. lebanonuntravelled.com/batroun-phoe...
