The Concise History of Ancient Canaan and the Canaanite Peoples (c. 7000-539 BC)

This is the video that several of you have requested – a one stop shop on the history of ancient Canaan and its people, the Canaanites. In this program we’ll look at the history of this region and how it developed from the Bronze Age, Canaan’s relationship with Egypt and other parts of the world, and various Canaanite kingdoms such Moab, Edom, Ammon, Israel and Judah. I’ve also remastered past content on the Phoenician cities of Sidon, Tyre and Byblos and added them at the end of the video. If you want a general history of ancient Canaan and the Canaanite people, then this program is for you.
