Abstract EN

Sidon city is an important coastal city, along with Tyre, Warwad and Jubail.

these cities had a strong and advanced naval fleet.

their men were known as skilled navigators and traders.

their inhabitants were called Canaanites or Phoenicians in relation to the purple dye they were extracting and making.

attacks on this coast by major powers in the old near east, such as Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians and Khemeans, have continued.

this city has tasted the scourges of all these times, and it has been destroyed more than once, but the cruelest and greatest of them were in the Khameini era during the reign of king Rahteshta III after a revolution led by her king Tanis of the Sidonian in alliance with Egypt.

this was the result of the injustice, cruelty and intransigence of its inhabitants.

also, he imposed heavy taxes on them, and they swarmed to destroy the city completely and took the surviving people and took them to his palace to be slaves.

he also sold the city's stacks to adventurers seeking gold.
