"The wreck will be conserved, protected and eventually reassembled".
I wonder if Phoenicians labelled the parts of ships like their fellow Carthaginians (Chanani)? Or is this a Carthaginian ship but it's referred to as Phoenician?
- ricardobayes 2y agoFun-fact that the ship was found on a beach that is near the Spanish city called "Cartagena".
- ocschwar 2y agoMany of the cities in the region have Carthaginian names. It's a little surreal to see them when you speak Hebrew: Cadiz: "boundary" - the city that guarded access to Britain. Malaga: "Queen City". Cartagena. Barcelona ("barkel" - blessing)
- marcusverus 2y agoFun fact #2: that city was founded by Hasdrubal Barca, father of Hannibal Barca!

- rsynnott 2y ago"Carthaginian" is more or less a subset of "Phoenician".
- thaumasiotes 2y agoWhich is why the adjective associated with Carthage is "Punic".
