the sound of ancient phoenicia

museal soundwalk in the ancient levant – listen to historic vibes

audio impression of a long-gone phoenician market; offered was livestock and goods of daily use

somewhere in phoenicia, 200 bc.
the land still densely forested.
at least the part where i got stranded.

mediterranean virgin forest;
early morning, late spring.
the air thick with the scent of … – lavender and rosemary.

lesser whitethroats fill my ears, nightingales – and roosters from the colonies.

hear the cattle?!

sounds like calf …

steps i take, on solid ground.

now i can smell it clearly!
walking down the hill, to where the livestock market is.

lively phoenician livestock market, 200 bc

busy here. it’s teeming with two- and four-legged folks.
pausing for a second.
immersed.

overwhelmed.

leave the scene inconspicuously.
