Gebal was the greatest exporter of papyrus, which was the paper used in writing in ancient Egypt and Greece.

For all the formerly mentioned, it is quite easy to infer that one of the most significant influences the Phoenicians had on the Western world is:

What was the main economic attraction of antebellum arkansas for american settlement?
nataly862011 [7]
The main attraction was the possibility of having slaves, since the owners of farms needed cheap and very abundant labor. Precisely this great attraction of owning slaves and being able to cultivate enromes quantities of land, was what would lead to the American Civil War; being the slavery, the first reason of the great growth of the southern wealth, thanks to its enormous plantations of cotton and tobacco; but after the war, this was the reason why the southern states suffered economic crises and had to request loans from the Federal Government for reconstruction; also that the very loss of the slaves led to the economic problems of the South.

What kind of climate does most of Mongolia have
Mandarinka [93]

The correct answer is "semiarid steppe".

Mongolia is characterized by a extreme continental climate, with warm summers and long, dry and very cold winters. It has extreme diurnal and annual ranges of temperature as it is characteristic in continental climate regions. It is a very sunny country, even called "the land of blue sky".  

The average temperatures recorded are below zero from November to March, and not too far from zero in April and in October.  In winter nights  it is common to reach -40°C temperatures (the minimum figure recorded was -55°C at lake Uvs). On the other hand, the most extreme summer temperatures rise as high as +40°C in the Gobi Desert and +33°C in the capital Ulaanbaatar. It is not strange that there are monthly temperature variations of +45°C in many regions of this country.
