Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the authenticity and veracity of the 'Periplus of Hanno', an ancient Greek document purporting to be the record of a Carthaginian voyage of exploration along the west African coast. The author presents various arguments, both internal and external, to support their skepticism. They analyze the text of the 'Periplus' for inconsistencies and anachronisms, and compare it with other historical accounts and geographical knowledge of the time. They also question the motivations and capabilities of the Carthaginians for undertaking such a voyage, given the limited maritime technology and political climate of the period. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the 'Periplus' and raises important questions about the reliability of ancient historical documents and the limits of human exploration in the ancient world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
