About this audiobook
The history of ancient Carthage: the lost empire that challenged Rome!
What do we really know about ancient Carthage? Most of what has been written about this once-great empire is based on Roman and Greek writings that are biased against the Carthaginians. Now, thanks to careful scholarly work and amazing archaeological discoveries, the real Carthage can finally be revealed.
Step back in time to an ancient world of strange gods and human sacrifice. Travel to the richest city of the ancient world: Carthage. Forget what you thought you knew about Carthage. This isn’t just about Hannibal crossing the Alps with his elephants. This is about a bustling, teeming commercial and political empire that covered most of the western Mediterranean.
In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:
- Carthage’s expeditions into the Atlantic Ocean a thousand years before Christopher Columbus;
- The mythical and realistic foundations of Carthage;
- The battles of the Sicilian Wars;
- The Carthaginian deities Baal Hammon and Tanit, who required human sacrifice;
- The great Carthaginian leaders: Hanno the Navigator, Mago I, Himilco, Hamilcar Barca, and his son Hannibal;
- The causes, battles, and outcomes of the Punic Wars;
- Sunken Carthaginian treasure;
- The conquering of Spain, Sardinia, Corsica, and North Africa;
- The eventual downfall of the Carthaginians;
- Revolutionary new findings about the culture of Carthage;
- And so much more!
