Why a Carthaginian naval chronicle would transform ancient history

Which lost ancient naval chronicle would be most valuable to recover?

A Carthaginian one, because it could reveal both Carthage's navy and the deeper Phoenician tradition behind Mediterranean sea power.

Archaeology reveals specialized Carthaginian naval infrastructure but says much less about how the navy itself worked. A surviving chronicle could connect Carthage to the wider Phoenician seafaring tradition. That tradition sits near the roots of both Greek naval development and Rome's later naval opponent. Carthage is therefore the preferred source over better-documented ancient states.
