National Geographic – Quest for the Phoenicians (NGC) (2004)

The disappearance of the Phoenicians, who built an advanced civilization 3,000 years ago, has been regarded as one of the great mysteries of the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians traveled the Mediterranean long before the Greeks and Romans, trading, establishing settlements, and refining the art of navigation. In their heyday, the Phoenicians dominated Mediterranean waters with commercial skill and seafaring force. Yet, 2,000 years after the end of an empire, their legacy lies hidden. Who were the Phoenicians, how did they succeed, and what ultimately became of them?
Most of what we know of the Phoenicians derives from scattered stories and artifacts. National Geographic joins three very different scientists, underwater explorer Dr. Robert Ballard, archaeologist Paco Giles, and geneticist Dr. Spencer Wells to separate fact from fiction and solve the mystery of the Phoenicians. Join them as they travel to Lebanon to find out more about the ancient Phoenicians. The scientists are using genetics to determine the link between the current Lebanese population and the early Phoenicians from bone excavations made at ancient sites. Meanwhile, the explorer tries to retrace the shipping and sailing routes of the Phoenicians, who were aggressive explorers that discovered and conquered other Mediterranean lands.
Their sea-faring skills and vast trading network were the envy of the ancient world. But even today, the fabled Phoenicians remain a people shrouded in legend. Now, unravel a 3,000-year-old mystery as you join National Geographic on The Quest for the Phoenicians.
