3. The Phoenicians: "The Amazon Prime Of The Ancient Mediterranean"

Bettany Hughes and Lucy Blue dive into the world of underwater archaeology and are joined by Timmy Gambin, David Abulafia and Claude Doumet-Serhal.  In this episode, they discuss how Phoenician traders dramatically opened up the Mediterranean, explore the harbours that they traded through and discover how changing sea-levels over time can submerge ancient civilisations.
