The Canaanites, ancestors of today’s indigenous people of Palestine, were more than just figures in biblical stories. They were farmers, artisans, and sailors who introduced many aspects of society that we know today. In fact, the Near East is often called the “cradle of civilization,” and the Canaanites played a starring role in that cradle. Canaan's history includes the first alphabetic writing system, early prophetic wisdom, and spiritual belief about one God that would later shape the Bible and global religions.
