Did you know that the Phoenician had a democratic system some 500 years prior to #ancient #Athens?
In 1100 BC, an #Egyptian trader travelled to Byblos in #Phoenicia. Before he could leave, he was ambushed by pirates.
The Phoenician prince was called to negotiate & he called on "the assembly", a subset of citizens. They decided the trader's fate.
Thus, at least a partial #democracy was already there & may have influenced the Athenians.

@schratze It's almost like there's a reason they're called Phonetic alphabets.
