Ancón is a fascinating Spanish word with multiple meanings. It can refer to a small cove where ships can anchor or a mountain pass that provides passage between two points.

One of the most significant historical ports in the world is located between two ancones, or inlets: the ancient city of Byblos, which is considered the oldest port in recorded history.

Byblos is a Phoenician city that was known as Gebal to its residents and as Byblos to the Greeks.

The name "Bible" comes from the Latin word "Biblia," which means "book" or "books." The Greeks called the holy book "Ta Biblia," which traced its roots to the Phoenician port city of Gebal.

Phoenicia was a territory in the Mediterranean region that encompassed parts of modern-day Israel, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. The Phoenicians were remarkable people who made significant contributions to the world. They are considered to be the forerunners of the Alphabet, which is the basis for most modern writing systems. They also used the Big Dipper as a guide for navigation and were renowned traders.

Ancones and inlets are common geographical features around the world, and many significant ports and cities have emerged in their vicinity. These ports have served as the origins and destinations of world trade, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and culture across the globe.
