P 3 # 1 Historians say that, over time, many of the stories about Israel in the Bible have been verified in other ways. This means that biblical accounts of Israel's legends have been reinforced by outside evidence. Including tablets from other countries or scribes account's of what happened. Trey Lewis

Trireme

The trireme was boat that is arguably originated in Phoenicia and is a galley-like boat. Trireme derives from the latin words tres (meaning three) and remi (meaning oar). Triremes in Phoenicia were most likely the bulk of their navy. They are ancient warships that morphed into having two single rows of about 20 to 30 men rowing the oars. They were used to protect the merchant ships. They used a convoy system to transport their goods to markets around the Mediterranean. The trireme was used throughout the history of the Mediterranean, in civilizations such as Crete and Greece. -John Viguet -John Sholeen

Solomon’s Temple

Astarte Astarte was a main goddess in Northwestern Semitic regions, but is a common goddess in many other religions. For example she is very similar to the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, and is also thought to be where the Greek goddess Aphrodite derives from. She is the goddess of plentiful crops, cattle birthing, sexuality, and war. Often times she is portrayed as a naked woman. For an image:[[4]] Sources:[[5]] -Cameron Weiner
