whether Phoenician people are the first group of people circumnavigate around Africa
The listening lecture totally opposes to the reading passage in whether Phoenician people are the first group of people circumnavigate around Africa. To begin with, the reading says that Phoenician's ships are not capable of allowing them to sails long distance and conquer harsh conditions. However, the listening argues that people had this is not likely to be true. People had recreate the ships with the same style and the same material, then they try to sail it on the ocean and find out that these ships can actually allow them to sail long distance even in harsh conditions. As a result, Phoenician's ships allow them to travel long distance and in harsh conditions.
In addition, the reading suggests that Egyptian rulers were not interested in the exploration beyond their land because their is no profit. Likewise, the listening asserts that it is true that Egyptian rulers will not be interested in doing this, but only when there is no benefit. There was one king that was very interested in water transportations. He even built a cannel because he want to create new trade for his nation. In other words, there is profit in doing circumnavigate, so the Egyptian rulers were actually interested in circumnavigating.
Lastly, the reading implies that since ancient people like to make up stories in their life, the circumnavigation of Phoenician can also be a myth or story. However, the listening indicates that researchers had found some records to explain this idea. The records show that the Phoenician find the movement of the sun, it is extremely hard for them to make up a story about the movement of the sun. They would not have this knowledge if they did not circumnavigate Africa. As a result, it is true that the Phoenician had sail around Africa.
