This unit we went over the Bronze Age Aegeans which are the Minoans, Hebrews, and the Phoenicians. One of the most important details about the Phoenicians is that they used the north star to navigate so they could sail during the night and go faster than anyone before. An interesting fact about the Minoans is that they had no fortifications and hardly any weapons which could mean they were peaceful. An important fact about the Hebrews is that they started the first ethical monotheism.
