| − | Sidon was one of the oldest Phoenician cities. Founded in the 3rd millennium BC, it was the only of the great urban centers that was not built directly on the waters of the Mediterranean. Referred to as “Sidon the Great, Mother of Arvad and of Tyre (manual pg 105)." Sidon's economy was mainly based around the glass industry. Matter of fact, it was the center of the industry. Sidon was also on the banks of the Mediterranean sea, which gave them access to lots of sand to make glass.
