One of the great controversies was the heliocentric versus geocentric theories that were competing at the time. The idea that the Earth was not the center of the known universe was dismaying to the Roman Catholic Church at the time, which saw the Earth as a special part of Creation that had to be at the center of everything. With Kepler and Copernicus espousing theories that put the Sun at the center of the local solar system instead of the Universe, it put them at odds with the religious people in power at the time, and caused much strife to the scientists.

Explanation:
The Phoenicians were one of the first and greatest traders of their era. At first, they traded with Greeks (wood, slaves, and glass). They also traded with Egypt, Britain, Sardinia, Iberian Peninsula, etc. After 1200 BC, the Phoenicians were the major naval and trading power of their region.
Biremes were long vessels built for military purposes and could achieve high speed and they were invented before the 6th century BC and were used by Phoenicians, Assyrians, and Greeks.
Tyrian purple has been used for the first time by the Phoenicians in early 1570 BC. There are some theories that the name Phoenicia means the land of purple. The dye was frequently used because the color did not easily fade, it came in various shades and it was the most prized dye in antiquity.
The first widely used alphabet was developed by the Phoenicians. It consisted of 22 letters and it became used throughout the Mediterranean, including the Iberian peninsula, North Africa and southern Europe.
