About this ebook

They built no grand pyramids, left behind no conquering armies, and their cities were swallowed by the tides of time—yet the Phoenicians shaped the ancient world in ways most have forgotten. From the shores of Tyre and Sidon, these enigmatic mariners set sail across the vast Mediterranean, spreading not only goods and purple dye, but the very alphabet that would become the foundation of Western writing.

Lords of the Purple Sea is a gripping journey through lost harbors and sunken secrets, unveiling the untold story of a civilization that thrived on trade, diplomacy, and maritime mastery. Through ancient texts, archaeological discoveries, and the whispers of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian chroniclers, this book reconstructs the legacy of the Phoenicians—seafarers, scribes, and silent architects of empire.
