Book excerpt: Phoenicia was an ancient civilization composed of independent city-states located along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea stretching through what is now Syria, Lebanon and northern Israel. The Phoenicians were a great maritime people, known for their mighty ships adorned with horses' heads in honor of their god of the sea, Yamm, the brother of Mot, the god of death. Mesopotamia is a historical region of Western Asia situated within the Tigris-Euphrates river system, in the northern part of the Fertile Crescent. It occupies the area of present-day Iraq, Kuwait, and parts of Iran, Syria, and Turkey. In this book, the author explains the meaning, the message and structure of hundreds upon hundreds of Mesopotamian, Phoenician, Ugaritic and ancient Middle and Near Eastern artwork, tablets, slabs, cylinder seals, obelisks, and cuneiform inscriptions.
