The Baal Cycle from Ancient Canaanite Mythology

This video is a creative production of the story of how Baal became king of the Canaanite pantheon. This myth was discovered on tablets in the ancient Canaanite city of Ugarit in Syria. The translation for this video was used from Stories From Ancient Canaan by Michael D. Coogan and Mark S. Smith. • Ancient people did not always leave behind labeled statues of their gods; therefore, we cannot know exactly how Baal, El, Asherah, etc. were meant to look. However, all figures and artifacts in this production are from Bronze Age and Iron Age Syria and Israel and therefore offer a fairly good representation of how the ancient Canaanites saw their world. • This production was created by April Lynn Downey, founder of Phoenix Feather Books Curios (www.phoenixfeatherbooks.com) and Journals of Tales. • Phoenix Feather Books Curios specializes in antique books and history related used books, photography, gifts, vintage prints, and curiosities from around the world! • For history related shirts, mugs, and other gifts, check out our Redbubble store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Jour... • Website for articles on world cultures, history, religion: www.aprildowney.blogspot.com • #ancient #mythology #myth #myths #ancienthistory #neareast #middleeast #baal #el #asherah #history #israel #syria #canaanites #canaan #polytheism #biblicalarchaeology #mythology #myths
