Abstract
Byblos has been the most inhabited place through the ages, so it is a key region in understanding the development and the evolution of seafaring and shipping, providing one of the richest and most continuous maritime archaeological records in the Mediterranean. Archaeological surveys have shown a continuous contact of Byblos people with Egyptians. The Egyptians were in need of cedar wood which was plentiful in Byblos area, in trade of Egyptian pottery, palettes, jars, copper ores and artifacts.
