Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Because they didn’t have much room for growing crops, the ancient Phoenicians turned to the Mediterranean Sea and became traders instead of farmers. They created glassware from the sand along the coast to trade for things they needed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Phoenicians were great traders and great navigators, and this combination of skills almost inevitably resulted in them establishing colonies wherever they went. The major Phoenician trade routes were by sea to the Greek islands, across southern Europe, down the Atlantic coast of Africa, and up to ancient Britain.
