The Ancient Naval Center of the Old World

by Moe

The name Navy or Naval is actually derived from what we call our belly button or navel which is on the surface of the abdomen of mammals in the center where the umbilical cord was attached during gestation. The navel is also called umbilicus and it simply means “a central point; and or a middle.”

Not only does the name of their maritime activities called “Navy or Naval” indicate center, but also the name of the Mediterranean Sea in which the island sits is derived from the Latin medius, meaning middle, and terra, meaning earth. This was the highway that brought the Phoenician (Sidonian and or Minoan) colonists to Greece, Rome, and Carthage. For well over 3,000 years it was the great thoroughfare of the world.

Crete is naturally fortified by the sea and was protected by the powerful Sidonian navy. A navy at the time who had no real rivals and or empires who could compete with them on the Sea for many centuries. By being one of the first, and largest navies and also by taking dominion of the Land of Milk and Honey called Crete, they were able to build a vast empire that stretched across most the Western and Eastern world. When they didn’t conquer other kingdoms, they made royal alliances and brotherhood trade agreements with the other powerful dynasties around the globe. (more…)
