The role that tradition especially assigns to the Phoenicians as the merchants of the Levant was first developed on a considerable scale at the time of the Egyptian 18th dynasty. The position of Phoenicia, at a junction of both land and sea routes, under the protection of Egypt, favoured this development, and the discovery of the alphabet and its use and adaptation for commercial purposes assisted the rise of a mercantile society. A fresco in an Egyptian tomb of the 18th dynasty depicted seven Phoenician merchant ships that had just put in at an Egyptian port to sell their goods, including the distinctive Canaanite wine jars in which wine, a drink foreign to the Egyptians, was imported.<span>

The Mediterranean has been an area of interaction for a great variety of cultures throughout the ages. Many different cultures have seen their origins in this area, including the Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Carthaginian, Greek, Persian, Thracian, Etruscan, Iberian, Roman, Byzantine, Bulgarian, Arab and Ottoman cultures. As many of these cultures existed simultaneously, they relied heavily on the Mediterranean in order to interact with one another. Trade routes provided a way in which all these cultures could interact and exchange ideas with one another.

The Phoenicians were particularly successful at creating a presence in the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians were excellent traders and seafarers. They relied particularly on the production of cloth dyed Tyrian purple from the Murex mollusc. They also traded with gold, wine and cedar logs. Their navigational talent and the goods they traded allowed them to be extremely successful.

3 The Battle of Tours affected the spread of Christianity because it A kept the Muslims in the southern part of the Iberian Peni
Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer is letter A

Explanation:

At the Battle of Tours near Poitiers, France, Frankish leader Charles Martel, a Christian, defeats a large army of Spanish Moors, halting the Muslim advance into Western Europe. Abd-ar-Rahman, the Muslim governor of Cordoba, was killed in the fighting, and the Moors retreated from Gaul, never to return in such force.

Charles was the illegitimate son of Pepin, the powerful mayor of the palace of Austrasia and effective ruler of the Frankish kingdom. After Pepin died in 714 (with no surviving legitimate sons), Charles beat out Pepin’s three grandsons in a power struggle and became mayor of the Franks. He expanded the Frankish territory under his control and in 732 repulsed an onslaught by the Muslims.

Victory at Tours ensured the ruling dynasty of Martel’s family, the Carolingians. His son Pepin became the first Carolingian king of the Franks, and his grandson Charlemagne carved out a vast empire that stretched across Europe.
