The Bible----
The word bible comes to us from Carthage, and it was originally a colony founded by the Phoeniciains, who were great seafarers, Tyre and Sidon, Carthage's two most renowned ports, are even mentioned in the Bible. In fact, the word Bible comes from the word Byblos, another Carthaginian port from which the majority of Egyptain papyrus was exported. Most early books were made from papyrus, and the word Byblos or Biblos became the ancient greek word for 'book.'

Thank you for bringing us all this reminder of the geographical and cultural influences which produced THE BIBLE as we know it today.
