Story of the World - Revised Version Changes - Volume 1 - Chapter 15-16

I may have missed some, but here are the changes I noticed in Chapter 15-16 of Story of the World, Volume 1.  You can find a list of all SOTW Vol 1 changes I've recorded here.


CHAPTER 15

Section 1 -  Phoenician Traders
They have a different, better map of the Phoenician empire in the Revised version.  Other than that and some small punctuation changes there's no changes to this section.

Section 2 -

Some of the paragraphs were split up and the story of Dido is in indented/outlined section.

Paragraph 3 (Revised):
The revised version mentions that Carthage was first settled around 814 BC/BCE.  In the original it says, in a footnote to parents, not in the main text, that it was founded in 850 BC/BCE.


CHAPTER 16

Section 1 - Ashurbanipal's Attack
In paragraph 4 of the revised version, it added the date that Ashurbanipal became king (668 BC). 

In the 8th paragraph the wording of two sentences changed slightly.

Original:  Ashurbanipal wasn't very kind to the cities he conquered.
Revised:  Ashurbanipal was cruel and ruthless to the cities he conquered.

Original: Most cities were too frightened to resist Ashurbanipal!
Revised:  Most cities were too frightened to resist Ashurbanipal for long.
