Antinous the Gay God shared Ancient Phoenicia's photo.
Phoenicans built the first war galleys between 1500-1200 BC and were the best seafarers and ship builders of the ancient world. They had been at sea for some time before the Greeks and were already well established and experienced sailors.
Early galleys were simple ships with single levels of oarsmen, but the galley would be developed over the next 2000 years, to go on and become the dominant fighting ship of the eastern Mediterranean.
