"Phoenicians" didn't really have a culture, it was just a clusterfuck of Mesopotamian and Greek shit.

They were basically middlemen who just mooched off of other cultures without making anything new. Except their alphabet.

That said, they weren't bad artisans. The Assyrians commissioned ivory carvings from them, now known as the Nimrud Ivories. I'll post a few.

Also there's pic related, the a Phoenician sarcophagus inscribed with the oldest example of Phoenician script, from about 1000 BC.

The Carthaginians also had these mask things, but they're not very good.

That's basically everything I have.

The Greeks are the biggest moochers in all of history.

At first maybe, but they improved on what they borrowed. They were too isolated from Mesopotamia and Egypt to just adopt their entire civilization, so they ended up building a completely new kind of civilization with both Mesopotamian and Egyptian influence. Phoenicians just copied and left it at that.

>>283758
They inherited the legacy of the 3000 year old Egyptian Kingdom, where's it now?

They inherited the legacy of Eastern Christianity, where's it now?

They inherited the legacy of the Roman Empire, where's it now?

They even converted to Islam and inherited the Caliphate through the Ottomans, where's it now?

Greeks are the pallbearers of all dead civilizations. Everything they touch is doomed to death.

Things got weird when the Greco-Phoenician relationship reversed and the former started influencing the latter.
Like what the hell is up with these sarcophagi? There are a shitload of them in every museum.

Are Nuragic Phoenicians? Like heavily influenced related to?

>Why didn't the Phoenicians make pictures?
Too busy making money.

>>283647
What part of Islam destroyed all non-islamic relics ISIS style do you not understand?

>>284895
Nuragics are natives who later became phoenicized (culturally at least).

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. -Isaiah 23:15
