Publisher's summary

Did you know the ancient Canaanites invented the alphabet?

The Bible references Canaan several times. For example, God commanded the Israelites to destroy the Canaanites following the Israeli flight from Egypt.

However, the actual history of this civilization doesn’t quite match theological sources. For one thing, the Canaanite civilization consisted of a multitude of different peoples from the same ethnic group but different cultures.

The region also had frequently redefined borders, and very few written records remain of Canaan, making it difficult for scholars to research. It can therefore be hard for people to find an easily understood and cohesive resource on this fascinating civilization.

But that is about to change. In this new captivating history audiobook, you will discover the truth about the ancient Canaanites.

The Ancient Canaanites: A Captivating Guide to the Canaanite Civilization That Dominated the Land of Canaan Before the Ancient Israelites includes:

  • Revolutionary findings provided by modern archaeological detective techniques
  • A simple explanation of what Caanan is and where it's located
  • Fascinating discoveries of Canaanites artifacts
  • Remarkable insights into their government and social structure
  • Startling theories about the Bronze Age collapse
  • What there is to know about the culture of the Canaanites
  • The main conflict with Canaan that occurs early in the Bible and more shocking mentions in the Bible
  • Religion and beliefs
  • And much, much more!

best book

I used to remember how fond I was with the Bible, but I couldn’t seem to find the time to study it closely. And now, I came across the book of Canaanites and it piqued my curiosity. This is the best book I’ve read about the subject and I’m looking forward to more of the author’s works.

Land of Canaan

The Author has explained, in detail, how we have all been misled by incorrect English translations of key terms in Joshua and elsewhere about the Amorites, Canaanites Amalekites and others, and the Conquest itself. The Conquest is NOT what you thought it was.

Enjoy the book

Canaan's Secret's suspense and intriguing plot made for a great audiobook. It was so good I listen to it twice, and it was even better the second time.

good

This is a very informative, brief history which is helpful in the study of the Bible. Highly recommend it. Wish it had been a little deeper.

Great book

A great book for anyone who is seeking to learn about the ancient Canaanites. Written by one of the first archaeologists to dig in what was Civilization.

quite an awesome book here.

And because the publisher, Captivating History always satisfies me, I got another of their book. This awesome guide has straightened out the common myths surrounding the ancient Canaanites.

Captivating!

Listening to this brought peace in my heart. I’m not a religious person, but after I heard this, I want to know more about the Bible and more of the Canaanites history.

Overall great book

The great merit of this book is that the scholarly opinions presented are supported by enough data, but not too much. For all that it contains a very academic conversation.

Fine job here.

I pretty think Captivating History did a fine and accurate job with this book considering the narrating time was only close to two hours. How they were known as, what their culture was, and their beliefs are just some of the interesting topics here in this book.
