Phoenicia is an ancient Greek term used to refer to the major export of the region, cloth dyed Tyrian purple from the Murex mollusc, and referred to the major Canaanite port towns; not corresponding precisely to Phoenician culture as a whole as it would have been understood natively. Their civilization was organized in city-states, similar to those of ancient Greece,[5], centered in modern Lebanon, of which the most notable cities were Tyre, Sidon, Arwad, Berytus, Byblos, and Carthage.[6] Each city-state was a politically independent unit, and it is uncertain to what extent the Phoenicians viewed themselves as a single nationality. In terms of archaeology, language, lifestyle, and religion there was little to set the Phoenicians apart as markedly different from other residents of the Levant, such as their close relatives and neighbors, the Israelites.[7]
(They make Phoenicia to have been in the levant and even Canaan aswell.
According to common sense and Herodotus, the Phoenicians originated near the Erythraean sea. Anciently the Erythraean sea was the area that is now the Gulf of Berbera or even North Western Indian Ocean(periplus of the eryhraean sea). Theres a town in yemen called Faniqa to this day, therefore Phoenicians extended from the Gulf of Berbera on arabian coast up to Canaan i.e the Hijaz.
