Answers:
“Carbonated water is the basis for soda pop it was first drank by ancient Romans at rejuvenation spas where the water occurred naturally.” The Romans and medieval Europe believed that water had healing properties, such as for the relief of upset stomach, and that the “bubbling water”, that is naturally carbonated water, was an even greater healer. People would come and soak in the water to relieve aching joints and muscles and go so far as to even drink it to ingest the healing properties.

Modern soda pop has a long history, it was originally bottled in large containers of concentrated syrup. After it was shipped it was the job of the “soda fountains” to add water to make it into a palatable drink. In the beginning the syrup was mixed with plain water ,it was an accident that someone added soda water into the concentrate one day and created the carbonated beverages we enjoy to this day. Root beer at one time followed some what the same path, though it did not follow it exactly. Originally the flavorings for root beer were packaged in a small packet of dehydrated and powdered ingredients. After a time it was offered in a concentrated form in gallon jugs.
The name soda pop comes in two parts; fist the soda in soda pop is derived from the use of carbonate of soda used in making soda water. Joseph Priestly is generally give credit for first to tame carbon dioxide or what he called ‘fixed’ air. When he let CO2 gas bubble though a container of water, some of the gas was dissolved in the water. What Priestly did was to make carbonated water in his lab.
The “pop” from soda pop comes simply from the opening of the bottle. When corks were used to stopper the bottles, and later the crown cap to an extent, the build up of CO2 burst out with the familiar popping sound similar to a Champagne bottle being opened. Putting the two terms together we get the term “Soda Pop”.

phoenicians and egyptians

the pharaos were drinking a lot of fermented drinks (that have co2 in them)

if u go to the louvre museum in paris, you can read one pharaoh menu, which reads approx:

- morning:
drink beer
eat
some activity
drink wine
drink beer

noon:
eat
sleep
drink beer
some activity

evening:
party
drink wine
drink beer
go to sleep
...

there is a rock on which they have this written :-)

so they were using carbonated drinks (beer, fruit ferments) since way back then

if you are asking about "invented" as in "who got the invention brevet for them" just do a search on the net, there are many players in that game

for example for coca cola a chemist mixed some coca leaves with sugar and soda water and sold the drink (and later the receipe) to somebody else, who eventually built what is now coca cola enterprises...

---

moral of the story:
---------------------
the pharaoh should have gone public back then with his fermented drinks enterprise and he would have by now a global company with $200billion market cap on his hands :-)
