In the Hebrew Bible, the
Canaanites are described as inhabitants of Canaan before the arrival of the
Israelites (e.g., Genesis 15:18–21, Exodus 13:11). Little of the Canaanites’
textual records remain, perhaps because they used papyrus instead of the more durable
clay for writing. Much of the Canaanites’ history is reconstructed through the
writings of contemporary peoples in addition to archaeological examinations of
the material record.
The previous excerpt is taken from an article from the
Biblical Archaeology Society titled: What Happened to the Canaanites? DNA
study links ancient Canaanites to their modern descendants. I believe I
have said enough, read the full article at the link below if you want to know
more.
