[gothic-l] Sea Peoples and Seaboard Civilizations

[Bertil Häggman]

Seigmund,

Taking this opportunity to refer to the
recent published book by Professor
Felipe Férnandez-Armesto (FFA), _Civilizations_
(Macmillan, 2000).

FFA, who started as a marine historian, devotes
much time to what he terms "seaboard
civilizations". In the 12th Chapter he
writes about the oran laut - Phoenicia and
Scandinavia but also maritime Netherlands.

A few subtitles from that chapter:

The Sea People: adapting to the waves
The Narrow Shores: Phoenicia and Scandinavia
The Atlantic Edge

But he also deals with the Seaboard Civilizations
of maritime Asia

My apologies to the listowner for this transgression.
Maybe comments etc. could be directed to
me personally: mvk575b at tninet.se.

Not so Gothically
