The Canaanites, an ancient civilization shrouded in mystery and intrigue, left behind a rich tapestry of history and culture. From their religious practices to their conquests, the Canaanites have fascinated historians for centuries. One aspect society that stands out is their sacrificial rituals. The wood engraving from the late 19th century depicts the solemn act of sacrifice under trees, showcasing the deep spiritual connection they had with nature. These sacrifices were often made to appease their chief god Baal, as seen in the limestone stela dedicated to him from Carthage. But not all was peaceful in Canaanite lands. Joshua's burning of the town of Ai, illustrated by Gustave Doré in his Bible series from 1866, reveals a darker side to this civilization. It highlights the brutal reality of warfare and conquest that shaped their existence. Despite these violent tendencies, there are glimpses of compassion within Canaanite society. The mid-late 19th-century depiction shows Jesus acknowledging that even though he came for Israel first, there is still room for others at his table - reminiscent of the story where he says "Yes Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat off children's crumbs. " This suggests a sense of inclusivity amidst cultural differences. Archaeological findings provide further insight into daily life during ancient times. The enlarged model of Gezer Calendar showcases how timekeeping played a crucial role in agricultural societies like theirs. Additionally, Tel Zafit offers evidence linking Gath to being one of these ancient cities inhabited by Canaanites. The woodcuts depicting Jael killing Sisera shed light on gender dynamics within this civilization. They showcase strong women taking matters into their own hands when necessary - an intriguing contrast to traditional patriarchal narratives prevalent during those times. Artifacts such as gold pendants featuring mother goddesses and figurines representing fertility highlight beliefs surrounding female deities and the importance of fertility in Canaanite culture.
