The Moabites and Edomites were just two of the many Canaanite groups that the Hebrews dealt with, often violently, but there were dozens of other Canaanite groups, which were all for the most part identified through the names of their respective cities. In fact, before the Hebrews established a kingdom and before the Phoenicians colonized much of the Mediterranean, the Canaanites were the most important group in the Levant for much of the Bronze Age and into the early Iron Age. Although the Canaanites never created a unified nation-state or kingdom, their importance in the ancient Near East cannot be understated. It was at least partially because of that fact that the Canaanites were unable to resist their larger and more powerful neighbors that the average person today knows so little about their history, but modern studies have revealed that they developed a unique religion that influenced non-Canaanite peoples and continued to be practiced in some form centuries after the Canaanites ceased to be an identifiable people. Furthermore, during the height of the Bronze Age the Canaanites provided important resources to the Egyptian and Hittite Empires and played a key role in the geopolitical game of chess between those two kingdoms. It also goes without saying that the Canaanites were also a factor in the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel, as the battles they lost to the Hebrews later became the foundation of the Jewish kingdom. The Ancient Canaanites: The History of the Civilizations That Lived in Canaan Before the Israelites looks at the various groups and their impact on the region and subsequent cultures. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Canaanites like never before.

The Bible tells the story of Israel's conquest of the land of Canaan, but what do you know about the Canaanites? The Bibleis only one source among many used to discover who these people were. This book reveals many things about them I didnot realize. Egypt was more involved with them than I realized. The Canaanites were a relatively disorganized bunch whofought among themselves as much as they did others. Therefore, Egypt had a very large say in the politics of Canaan.If you want to read a great book and discover who the Canaanites were and some of their history, I suggest you purchasethis book. I certainly enjoyed it.
Everyone's heard of the Canaanites thanks to the Bible, but I'm sure only a few know much if anything about them. This helped fill in all the blanks I had.
