Can someone give me a lot of facts about the city Canaan?

Question

Maybe how they lived, how they looked like, any nicknames, cities, anything!!!!

Answer 1

City? Canaan was more than a city. Canaan was the name of the area that the Hebrews believed was the land promised Abraham.

The sites below cover the history, with pictures and maps. If you need additional information, please add details.

The Canaanites became the Phoenicians at about 1200 BCE. See the last reference:

Answer 2

Canaan is an ancient term for a region approximating present-day Israel and Palestine plus adjoining coastal lands and parts of Lebanon and Syria. The Hebrew Bible identifies Canaan with Lebanon - foremost with the coastal city of Sidon - but extends the "Land of Canaan" southward across Gaza to the "Brook of Egypt" and westward to the Jordan Valley, thus including modern Israel with the Palestinian Territories. This southern area included various ethnic groups. The Amarna Letters found in Ancient Egypt mention Canaan (Akkadian: Kinaḫḫu) in connection with cities along the Phoenician coast and into Upper Galilee. Many earlier Egyptian souces also make mention of numerous campaigns conducted in Ka-na-na, just inside Asia.

Various Canaanite sites have been excavated by archaeologists, most notably the Canaanite town of Ugarit in modern Syria, which was rediscovered in 1928. Much of the modern knowledge about the Canaanites stems from excavation in this area. Canaanites are mentioned in the Bible, Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian texts, and have always normally been considered an ethnic group radiating out of Lebanon; though some recent sources, without specifying any evidence, have asserted an origin on the Arabian Peninsula........
