Phoenician AchievementsLibya is washed on all sides by the sea exceptwhere it joins Asia, as was first demonstrated, so
far as our knowledge goes, by the Egyptian kingNecho, who, after calling off the construction of thecanal between the Nile and the Arabian gulf, sentout a fleet manned by a Phoenician crew withorders to sail west about and return to Egypt andthe Mediterranean by the way of the Straits ofGibraltar. The Phoenicians sailed from the Arabiangulf into the southern ocean, and every autumn put
in at some convenient spot on the Libyan coast,sowed a patch of ground, and waited for next year'sharvest. Then, having got in their grain, they put tosea again, and after two full years rounded thePillars of Heracles in the course of the third, andreturned to Egypt.Herodotus, The Histories 4.42
