The ancient world of the Canaanites—the mysterious people who once thrived in the land now known as Israel, Lebanon, and the surrounding area. From the origins of the term "Canaanite" to the diverse tribes that called this land home, we explore their history and culture through the lens of biblical tales and scholarly debate. But here's the twist: the true intrigue lies in the Canaanites' religion, centered around gods like the storm god Baal, whose mythic battles with the god of the sea and death are eerily reminiscent of the cosmic struggles. As we delve deeper, we uncover why the Israelites were commanded to remove the Canaanites from the land—and it’s not what you might expect. Tune in for a journey into ancient history, mythology, and divine retribution.
