The Azores are a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 kilometers west of Europe. Modern Europeans began settling the islands in the 1400s. However, some historians think that other explorers visited the Azores much earlier. There is evidence to suggest that the Phoenicians-an ancient Mediterranean people known for their ability as sailors explored the Azores over 2,000 years ago.
Caves
First, archaeologists have found a number of caves built by people in the Azores. In ancient times, the Phoenicians made similar caves as small religious temples and tombs in the cliffs around many of their settlements. The caves that archaeologists found in the Azores appear similar to those of ancient Phoenicia. They have what appear to be stone altars (tables used for religious ceremonies) and stone bowls that could have been used to hold liquid for ceremonial purposes.
Phoenician Coins
Second, there is an eighteenth-century account of ancient coins being discovered on Corvo, one of the islands in the Azores, in 1749. This account was published in a scientific article and was accompanied by detailed drawings of the coins. The illustrations show that the coins were Phoenician. The discovery of Phoenician coins on the island of Corvo in the Azores strongly indicates that Phoenicians arrived in the Azores long before modern Europeans.
Phoenicians Traveling Long Distances
Finally, modern researchers have found evidence of Phoenician sailboats traveling long distances of up to 2,000 kilometers without stopping on land (when sailing in the Mediterranean Sea). It appears that the Phoenicians routinely traveled such great distances in the Mediterranean Sea to avoid unfriendly territories. So, it seems quite possible that the Phoenician ships would have been able to complete the journey west from Europe to the Azores 1,500 kilometers away.

教授：要和家人一起创业吗？
Claire：不要。
Andrew：要。
Dr. Achebe: This week, we’ll be exploring the dynamics of entrepreneurship, particularly focusing on whether entrepreneurs should collaborate with family members when starting a business or if it’s preferable to avoid such partnerships. Many entrepreneurs face this dilemma due to the potential benefits of trust and shared vision with family, but also the risks of conflicts and business complications. What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe it’s best for entrepreneurs to start a business with family members?
Claire: I don’t think it’s a good idea for entrepreneurs to go into business with family members. While you may have trust and share the same vision, family members tend to think too much alike. This limits new perspectives and innovation. There’s also a higher risk of conflicts and messy situations arising between relatives that could hurt the business.
Andrew: Working together with family members can really strengthen the family bond and shared goals. My uncle and cousins started a restaurant, and seeing them collaborate with that level of trust and commitment is inspiring. Though conflicts may arise, if you can resolve them, it’ll make the family ties even stronger in the end.
