Ancient Canaan

Ancient Canaan was a historical region located in the Levant, roughly encompassing modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Syria and Jordan. It was inhabited by various peoples, including the Canaanites, who practiced agriculture and polytheism, worshiping multiple gods. Canaan is significant in biblical history, being the Promised Land for the Israelites. Its cities, such as Jericho and Jerusalem, were central to trade and culture. Over time, Canaan experienced invasions and migrations, contributing to its complex tapestry of cultures and influences, ultimately shaping the region's religious and historical narratives.
