The Amorites Part 2: Independent Canaan 539BC - 1200BC The Phoenicians (Northern Canaan) Following the Battle of Kadesh the Hittites fell into a period of chaos & civil wars that broke their power. While the Egyptians got dragged into a long war vs the Libyans which allowed the native Canaanite Semites to gain autonomy eventually ridding themselves of the Egyptians and Hittites. This period started the second Amorite political reign in Canaan following a period of Occupation. At this period Canaan split into three regions; North Canaan: Phoenicia, Central Canaan: Hebrews, South Canaan: Philistines. The three regions shared an Amorite linguistic and cultural origin. Northern Canaan: Phoenicia Northern Canaan was settled by the Nomadic Semites as early as the Third Millenia BC. The first wave was an Amorite coastal migration that was forced to stop once it reached the natural coastal barrier which corresponds with what will later become known as the town of (JBEIL) meaning the little Mountain in the Amorite Arabian dialect. This Amorite settlement was forced upon them, because the moutains meant that they will be facing easily defended towns. The Amorites were still fresh adventerous Nomads that just arrived from Arabia and were not ready to settle for the limitations of sedantary lifestyle. In Jbeil they replaced their desert ships with Sea ships within a Millenia they adopted the Sea. The Phoenician maritime trade took place with a diverse Non-Arabian speaking populations as far as the Atlantic shores! This was the man drive behind inventing the Pheonician Abjad that became the basis & origin of every modern Alphabet. Jbeil remained the leading Phoenician city up until the early 1000s BC, by then the Phoenician trade had expanded to the point where they needed bigger cities with wider land strips so Sur and Sidon rised as the leading cities. From Sur and Sidon the Phoenicians established trading colonies in Cyprus, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, North Africa and Spain. Phoenicia will start to decline due to the Assyrian imperialistic ambitions. As early as 853 BC the Phoenicians of Arvad had to participate in the Amorite coalition successful effort to stop the Assyrian Army in Qarqar. In less than a century the Assyrians were back this time capturing Arpad and Cyprus forcing most of Phoenicia to pay tribute. Sur continued to lead the rebellions vs The Assyrians up until the fall of Assyria itself. The Babylonians picked up where the Assyrians stopped, they were followed by the Archamenids 539 BC. By this Period Canaanite Phoenicia lost its lead to Carthage. The Destruction of Phoenicia The Assyrians were mainly interested in raw Phoenician goods so they needed to keep Pheonicia as it is. However, the Assyrians themselves fell under Aramean cultural influence that eventually destroyed the Assyrians! The cultural Aramization started with the late 8th century BC gradually increasing and moving into Phoenicia with the Assyrians, Babylonians and finally reaching its zenith under the Achamenids who made Aramiac/Armean their Imperial language. Sur was the last Phoenician city to survive the Aramization era, but their fortunes came to an end with the Hellenic invasion under Alexander who ravaged Sur forcing the surviving Phoenician population to head west & join their Phoenician kinsmen in Carthage.
