What did the Phoenicians trade?

The main commodity of the Phoenician traders was timber – cypress, oak, cedar. The buyer was mainly Ancient Egypt, where wood was in great shortage. Even the Egyptians bought resin from them, which was used for embalming. The products of the Phoenician artisans made of silver, bronze and glass were also highly valued. They were also the first to produce purple paint, which was also in great demand from neighboring countries. Do not forget about high quality wine, which is also one of the main objects of trade.
