The title of the video is a bit incorrect and annoying
Happy holidays and happy new year! Keep on keeping on, Pete! 😎🎄🎉
THEY WERE NOT EUROPEANS BUT FROM THE LEVANT MIDDLE EAST SEMITIC or related to EGYPTIANS to PERSIANS, genetic research even shows early Minoans & Etruscans were migrating TURKIC peoples into east southeast Europe Mediterranean. They just sailed EVERYWHERE thru the Mediterranean into Coasts of Africa into Britain & India
Great video as always. But at about 30:30, I think you made a mistake when you said Scholars suggest that the "Sea Peoples colluded with or paid off the invaders". Instead of "Sea People's I think you meant the Phoenicians?
You almost feel guilty that you get to watch this for free. The quality is above anything on the History channel. Brilliant job Pete
Not at all..... Decent quality thats about it.
You mean the Used To Be About History Channel?
@@WhoTookMyMirr yes, the alien channel.
Ancient aliens 🤣🤣
No I don’t, who told you that about me?
There was an ancient Phoenician writer called Sanchioniathon whose work has been lost but he was supposed to have been translated by Philo of Byblios - a writer of the Roman era whose work has also been lost.Had we still had both of these works we would have had a treasure trove of Phoenician religion,mythology,culture and lots more.
Almost like there a reason for that
Obviously they don't want to be found
I'm sure it will be found in the Vatican one day, along with Aristotle's Poetics Part Deux.
Many of their traditions are saved thru in ancient Greek tribes of Evoia and other islands, as Phoenicians were ancient Greek tribes as described by Plutarch.
@@ITSONLYMEWATCHING The burning of the library of Alexandria; must have been a lot of treasure lost!
How do we know?! If it’s been lost? Lol
I’m Lebanese, I feel proud 🇱🇧☝️ And I’m a teacher and a businessman who traveled the world and settled long ago abroad, a typical Phoenician 👍
Dan Dan, With fuel prices increasing
I look to Exodus 20, 10 Mitzvot & Exodus
21 as prayer as we learn how to maintain
boatbuilding , rowing, painting, and sail
I suppose settlements about 30 miles apart describe the world. Farther?
Oil is only one way to travel. Neat how former British Navy man Mr. Beal chose
a Lebanese boat for his long voyage
. What's a typical Lebanese breakfast ?
Hi Robert, breakfast eggs bit lamb salt pepper. Blend scrambled. Warm flat Lebanese bread 🍞. Lebanese call our daily food meza mixed wholesome foods . As well as Home food home cooked on fire stove . Much that not sold over counter these days. All natural beautiful. Thx for asking.
Apologies, canaanites are from the sons of Ham(Black Africans).
If you wanna ignore this fact then ignorance is bless I suppose
I DON'T THINK THERE WERE LEBANESE IN NORTH AFRICA AT THAT TIME NO EVIDENCE
I DON'T THINK HANNIBAL WAS LEBANESE
I’ve been reading through Samuel, Kings and Chronicles and remember them talking about building ships and sailing from Tyre but I never knew the link to the Phoenicians! I love it when I get “the bigger picture”.
Did I expect an intro to a Phoeniecian video in Cornwall? Can't say I did
Being Cornish myself, I'm very glad that it did.
It was Corny, but that's good.
Haha yeah, I kept checking I was watching the right video!
That's why I am scrolling through the comments😂
Ha! (me too. Nice to be surprised at my age.)
Bro, I'm only 3 mins into the video and can already tell the quality is impeccable. Then I noticed the complete lack of adverts throughout... you sir are a legend
You should thank advertising for making videos like this free to watch.
@@hatimaheddar2411 there are no adverts in this video so what you say makes no sense and I don't think you even read my comment. I thank the creator of this channel for making the video free to watch. I will not be thanking advertisers for anything ever.
I don't think have words to express how much appreciation I have for such hard and amazing work. I love all things history and this channel has brought me hours of excellent content.
A great history lesson, I noticed that the Phoenician alphabet you showed has many charactors similar to the British Coelbren alphabet which according to some originated with those British settlers that were called 'strangers=Welsh' and arrived circa 1500 - 1800BC, but who may have had people in these lands even earlier. Laurance Gardner seems to have identified the geneology of those from ancient Egypt to Britain through mariage and likely a certain amount of entourage/settlers to accompany them. See his Grail Kings books and youtube lectures.
This is what RUclips is all about: Great, beautifully put together informative content.
True that my friend! Regards Malaysia..
I thought it was a place to argue in the comment section 😅
@@aksbeixhev No, it isn't.

Lebanese guy here, this is a nice early Christmas present. Thank you HT you are class.
Hey quick question. I have always wondered if the lebanese are the direct descendands of the phoenicians. Is this true, or have been the phoenicians erased from the world?
@@Veriox22 it's a complex question as most Lebanese these days identify as Arabs and believe some family oral traditions claiming a Yemeni origin origin. However modern DNA testing has basically debunked all those stories and has shown that most of our genepool is indigenous, directly descended from the older Semitic peoples (Phoenicians/Canaanites, Israelites, Arameans etc) that lived in the region.
@@alfredosauce1 I am glad to hear that. I find it really interesting how, despite all these centuries, the phoenicians have kept their genes and despite their religion, they are able to identify as phoenicians. Glad to see they are not extinct like the sumerians, babylonians, etc.
Forgive me if this is too personal a question, but... as you mention Christmas (& some accurate insights regarding the ancestry of the region), I am curious if you are currently living in Lebanon and practicing Christmas in a religious context (as a Christian), or just in the sort of "generic" and "commercial" sense that has become dominant here in the US?
Happy holidays, everyone! ♥️
@@alfredosauce1 way I see it, most Lebanese are Arabs in that they're culturally Arabs. The Arab world contains hundreds of millions of people, the vast majority of those people aren't directly descended from Bedouins, they can't be as the Bedouins dwarfed in numbers compared to their neighbours. I believe allot of cultural integration went off to form the modern Arab world, it's not a single homogeneous nation but a cultural one.
I keep having to rewind and listen to what you had just said because my imagination kept pulling me away as you painting a picture. Not a bad thing at all I find your videos are the only content having me do this. Absolutely amazing stuff.
This guy is absolutely brilliant, with knowledge (and research, and photography, and narrative) beyond compare. It's simply the very best content to be found anywhere -- including on RUclips.
You make everything so epic man, so glad we got a series together.
I'd like to hear you narrate my morning routine lol.
I'm thrilled that you made a series together! You're both amazing history RUclipsrs.
He may be epic but you've got a few good things going for you too Milo. Anyway this video was excellent. It's good to see you guys collaborating to produce awesome content. This one on the Phoenicians was awesome and I think I might just hop over to Miloville after it to check out what you've been up to recently. Best wishes for Christmas.
LOL
Happy to do an exchange and have you narrate my life. Promises to add a comedic charm
You have so much style and humor in your work, my favorite "history" channel. Give us more! :)
This is absolutely fascinating, highly, and incredibly informative.Outstanding documentary Pete.
As a history nerd I love your videos!
Hopefully there will be subtitles someday since english is not my native language and I find it easier to read and listen than to just listen. But that does not make it less enjoyable. Your work is incredible! :)
U can turn subtitles on in ur settings!
The only option is the auto-generated kind. Those are prone to making mistakes, but the real problem is how they’re presented. With normal subtitles words appear in groups, so usually about 7(ish) words are visible. This lets people read ahead, making them aware of what to listen for, and it’s less jarring to read a phrase at a time. Auto-generated gives a word at a time. As it’s spoken. It’s disjointed and makes it hard to focus on the video.
There’s transcriptions which is the same thing as subtitles
It's amazing our alphabet is from ancient peoples from middle East it's amazing what we can learn from other cultures
You a nerd to pursue knowledge it makes watching movies under words in a song overall gives a more ability to enjoy something if one has basic knowledge of it
I’m a Phoenician and you made me proud.
So I went to bed after reading about the phoenician settlement in modern day marseille and I woke up to this video being posted. Thanks Internet! You did it again.
couldnt you read about winning a lottery? 🤣
Marseille was a Greek colony not Phoenician.
@@innosanto Well, both were originally serpent seed families, *maritime people,* and the sea peoples, descended from Japheth, that are presently some of the royal world overlords. It is the reason why USA fed and state use _maritime law_ as the judicial system, for example. This allows them to make a play on words they use all the time bcuz the elite are master illusionists!
@@AverageAmerican not all pure Phoenicians are dead. I am blood royalty :)
@@redshadow4146 Yes, Phoenicians aren't Human. However, most Humans are part snake (royalty or blue bloods). Like myself. The Phonesians are the same as Phrygians who are Japhetite. Serpent seed.
Brilliant. Excellent presentation. You narrated this fascinating part of history in a slow and clear manner, much appreciated. Good diction, pitch and pace. BRAVO!
Herodotus also wrote about Phoenicians taking a voyage for a Egyptian king that circumnavigated all of Africa starting down the Red Sea down to Capetown and up the Atlantic coast and back through the Mediterranean. There were also Phoenician writings in South America and Brazil dumper tons of fill on top of a suspected Phoenician ship wreck at the Bay of Jars, so named due to amphorae washing ashore
I heard that the same thing
I I heard the same thing about people from the Lavant sailing to the Americas.
That’s fine lots of highly censored news in the USA like giants, and burial mounds to name only two.
Thanks for sharing what you know happened in Brazil
The famous periplus of the African continent by the Phoenicians. And yet the Egyptians never managed this feat.
Unlike so many city-states, the Phoenicians were not taken down by the sea peoples. Maybe that's because they were already advanced navigators as were the earlier Minoans.
Very few youtubers get me excited when I see an upload, but seeing a History Time upload always gets me looking forward to my evening
It’s somewhat interesting to have such smart ancestors. I come from Lebanon and I visited Sidon, Tyre and Byblos multiples times. Crazy that all these amazing things happened just where I live. I’m so thankful that you created this documentary as it did indeed surprise me that Phoenicians went all the way to Britain. This small part isn’t mentioned in our history books btw 😅 It’s just so sad that there isn’t much written about their culture and the interesting part is that they didn’t call themselves Phoenicians but the Greeks called them that way. You made me also interested to go and visit Carthage!!
it is really interesting! I'm from Lebanon too and I feel so attached to my history and I would like to know who really were our distant ancestors!
It is likely that much of the Phoenician population migrated to Carthage and other colonies following some conquests, but that doesn't really mean that all Phoenicians migrated from their land, e.g. Lebanon! Also DNA testing has linked this ancient culture directly with the people still living around Tyre, in Lebanon. super interesting!
Beautiful History and beautiful civilizations molded our wonderful World. I love places like this. Too bad we never stop having wars since the beginning of times. The World would’ve been the greatest place on Earth. Amazing nature.🌟💫
the modern Lebanese person has nothing to do with the phoenicians, for they have all been slaughtered and sold into slavery by the babylonians, hellenics and by the hundreds of foreign empires that invaded and settled this land. The last phoenicians standing were in carthage and its colonies before they too were slaughtered and sold into slavery by the romans. So you are a hot soup of greek, arabic, turkic and canaanite ancestry, not phoenician
@@karlkfoury2213 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@karlkfoury2213 And you became Arab at the end.
Great documentary, well researched, beautifully and professionally presented. I tremendously enjoyed watching it. Knowing the history of a region gives a lot of insight into the present, having in mind how the levant is still suffering regional influences in present day. Well done and thanks for publishing. Just a little comment on the photography used of Phoenician land/ Lebanon, I could not recognise the scenery utilised.
Great program. Thanks very much for the knowledge and high quality video!
Bit of trivia, Sherlock Holmes is investigating the Phoenician-Cornish connection while on vacation in Cornwall in The Adventure Of The Devil's Foot. Not unlike the way most of us spend our vacations, I'd bet.
I am absolutely proud to have Phoenician ancestors, a great civilization

Check Philippine history where phoenicians trade at the ends of the earth

@@mikeday4506 so are we to believe that they were playing with DNA all those centuries ago? If not how did they take their DNA? Now I'm both confused, and interested!
9:19 - Whew ... after 10 minutes of talking about Britain, the Phoenicians are finally mentioned. Very interesting once it gets going!
Amazing well done historical documentaries. I really enjoy watching these very professional and informative videos.
You all have no idea how much I love that The Histocrat, History with Cy, and History time teaming up
Better than anything on The History Channel. I always have to remind myself that these documentaries were made by a RUclips Team. They are of such high quality, that one would be forgiven for thinking that they were made with a huge budget.
Highly advanced updated history lessons.
Not much real history on the History Channel, just cheap, sensationalist Hollywood entertainment.
@@chorton38305 History Channel still thinks Columbus was a hero not an invader and butcher. What I mean to say is, I'm with you!

Wonderful video! It was beautiful, engaging and to the point. Thank you for this research and presentation!
Thank you so much!! Your content is so packed with content you have my eyes glued to RUclips for 1:03 hours at a time! And my full attention is quite a feat!

One amazing thing about the Phoenician abjad is that, with the exception of some far-eastern and african writing systems as well as the Inuit syllabary, all modern-day writing systems are either descended from it or, as in the case of the Ge'ez abugida of Ethiopia and Eritrea, somewhat related to it.
Yet the narrator failed to mention this.
@@icu4life240
Evidence based.
They weren't talking about theories, which lack evidence to stand up to question. While it is speculated, for instance, about the inuit, we cannot actually prove that they even met, and even had they, it would have been the people who predates the inuit people(btw) not the inuit people themselves. If your going to reference theories please read up on them. Even a google search shows that info in first result. (I checked)
It is more likely the fact our brains recognize patterns created a similar one, or that the neanderthals and other such pre humans that make up our genetics, had a language and perhaps writing at some point and both could have had shared ideas of such that passed down even without contact. One theory is just as outlandish as the other. We need evidence. Not wishful thinking and theories. Evidence. Carbon dated hold it in your hands evidence.
The things I said are just as outlandish as the theory you talked about and just as unproven. Possible. Especially given we have proven they at least did have the understanding to do cave drawings etc, and there is theories about more but again... It could be a remnant. Like how hobits and dwarves and all the things imagined in popular fiction reflect quite stunningly people that not only pre dated humans as we exist, but are what eventually resulted in us via mixing with one another.
An argument for cell memory could be made.
There is more evidence we are related to trees(they actually found where we share dna with trees) than there is that the inuits and Phoenicians ever even met.
Just because someone wants it to be true doesn't make it so.
It's actually very interesting. Remember. A theory means something is unproven. It doesn't mean it true just because you like it or it's popular for being what a lot of people want to hear. Facts don't care about our feelings. They simply exist.
This said. History and anthropology gets very interesting. Actually kiddo often watches stuff that gets into evolution and science otherwise with me and I've my own theory based on what we know- like what of no idea is a new idea? What if it's all in our dna?
Even wilder yet is the fact that the Phoenician adjab itself was ultimately descended from Egyptian hieroglyphics.
11:22 yup, everything you've watched up until this point was just an introduction.
Amazing content, love this channel.
Another fantastic video. Enjoy every last one of them. So informative and easy to understand. Marvellous job and Long may it continue 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I did a presentation on the Phoenicians for my Masonic lodge a couple of years ago. Their cultural motto was 'make money, not war', which for the Bronze Age Near East was a remarkable thing.
Imagine being in a coastal village in southern Gaul. You see a squad of ships sailing in your direction, and immediately prepare the defenses. Then they get closer and you realize, 'oh thank Toutatis, it's Phoenicians.' They're not going to sack your town and kidnap your families, they're just going to sell you dyed cloth, fine glassware and other luxury goods.
Robert Walker-Smith Yes, I like the Phoenicians. They must have had wise rulers. Thanks Toutatis for that!!!
i was a flower child back in the 20th century. our motto was 'make love, not war' for all of us living in our dawning Age of Aquarius THAT was a remarkable thing ;-)
Well most ancient world not really into waging war except persian and greeko roman
Toutatis is a fake god

This is great ref extracting details and putting them in wider context. More, please!
Crazy, my family found out in recent years that my Father's ancestors were Phoenician mariners who shipwrecked along the Norway coast and banded together with other groups and migrated south, fought for William The Conquerer, and later were given land in Antrim, Ireland. Before genetics, and research, we knew so little.

There are a number of errors in this video. The most painfully obvious is the claim that Carthage was completely destroyed and the earth salted at the end of the second Punic war. In fact, Carthage continued to exist as a colony of Rome for some time, and was the center of the agricultural industry of Rome in Northern Africa. So it was not completely destroyed, and its earth was not salted, but instead was rebuilt and continued to be used to produce wheat for another eight centuries.
In fact, it was conquered by the Vandals, under Gaiseric, in the 4th century AD, who held it for about a century before the Eastern Roman empire took it back, holding it for another century.
It was finally destroyed completely by the Umayyad empire, almost a millennium after your video says it was. It's the Umayyads who reduced its lands to such a condition (probably without salt) that the area was abandoned completely.
Earlier, it is stated in the video that the Sea Peoples colluded with, or paid off, the Sea Peoples. Probably one of those two should've been the Phoenicians.
The narration, depth of info, sound scapes, everything.. 10s across the board. Subscribed! Looking foreward to watching all of your content!
ME TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks but I love human history the true history of mankind so I take what I know as truth and reject his story until the full truth is told that where ever they find acient culture and great building and foundations they also found black people ruling great kingdoms and where eliminated and plundered the truth is it's all stolen legacy fortunately we have survived and our scholars of the black and brown people are reclaiming our true history which is the true history of mankind I guess that is why it's time to reset shameless one love one humanity all out of mama Africa 🙏🦁🌴❤️

This is maybe your best documentary to date, so interesting so atmospheric, and Phoenicians were so interesting group of people, i am not suprised Cy also worked on this documenary
thanks for this, I love watching docs about the Phoenicians, I don't think there's enough of them.
There just isn't a whole lot of literature on them. Most docs on the Phoenicians seem to just circle the question of child sacrifice because there is alot of archeological evidence to dive into on that front. Totally sucks tho. Seeing that photo in this vid of those ruined shipyards made my head spin. We will never really know who these dudes were unless there is some hidden cache of miraculously preserved papyrus somewhere.
@@davidrafferty2491 Made up religion based on sacrifice of the first-born in order to give their ruler a safety net. Less competition for the throne.
A lot of their history was destroyed by the early Christians when they burned down the Library at Alexandria. They wanted to erase the culture which invented their god so they could claim to have invented him.
@@davidrafferty2491 "unless there is some hidden cache of miraculously preserved papyrus somewhere."
Library at Alexandria.
@@havable wrong, Christians weren't even at the time. The romans after the death of Julius Cesar (48 B.C.) were the ones who destroyed/ burned Alexandria Library which was against their beliefs since they were polytheist and Christians were persecuted by the romans before their conversion the Christianism.
I absolutely love History Time. I always play his documentaries when I nap.
I enjoyed this video. Great job on this historical explanation
I love your videos. I especially like the maps with the place names on them. I have a hard time just looking at shapes with no labels and trying to decipher if the white is land or sea. I am learning though to recognize some shapes of islands or countries though difficult. Thanks for the excellent videos. I am 73 and a widow. My late husband was excellent at history and geography.

Another great episode , love the footage of dartmoor n cornwall in the intro. Ive downloaded loads of your work as i think its a great channell ; the graphics, maps, footage and such all wrap well around any topic you approach, but what i like is the pace the music, and that its not done by some huge corporate media channel, its all handled by our british friend doing the narration, n he's on minimum wage ! you really care about what you do , and its appropriate enough for kids to, who seem to respond better to your pace, than all the flashy stuff that plagues youtube. Cheers

Hello! I recently discovered your channel. I'm a world history buff and I love your documentaries! 😊❤
Excellent documentary about the sophisticated, fascinating and brilliant civilization of the mighty Phoenicians who invented the Alphabet. Their alphabet according to historians revolutionized and facilitated communication between Peoples and allowed historians to record history because that was too difficult to do with the Egyptian hieroglyphs and the Babylonian cuneiform writing. So, the Phoenicians invented a practical and intelligent code of writing for communicating. That’s no small feat! As you said in conclusion, we’re all descendants of the Phoenicians because Princess Europe was born in Tyre and brought to Crete by Zeus. So the very name of our continent Europe goes back to the Phoenicians and Phoenicia. Isn’t that amazing ?
Europe is Greek name even the Phoenicians is Greek name 😂
Phenicians were not europeans. They were not even Indo- Europeans. They were semetic peoples like Arabs. They spoke a semetic language
@@Beyonder1987 I am talking for the names not for the people
amazing work,thanks. def. subscribed
An excellent piece, great editing, text is masterful and the narration is tops!!! Thanks for your efforts and marvelous production!
you are epic brother, i really appreciate history time, thank you so much for your excellent work
Absolutely fascinating as always!
Thank you for the lecture! As mentioned at 6:24 and seen also on the map shown the PHOenicians lived along the coasts. It has to be that they were most likely the gods of the waters, instead/besides the gods of the letters. Most of the words that are related to the ancient ethymons: PO, PHO, PA, PHA are in connection with the waters. Example: PO-table, dis-PO-mania, hi-PO-PO-tamus, PO-t, PO-ol, PO-nd, PO-rt, PO-ur, eva-PO-rate, PO-lar (all 3 states), PO-seidon, Meso-PO-tamia, PA-cific ocean, PO-culum (latin pot/cup/glass), PO-tomac river, river PO (the longest in Italy), PO-ros (old name of the Black Sea), a-PO-teka (latin PHArmacy), PO-wer, PO-verty, PHA-RA-O (cycle "O" of water that is moved by the heat of the Sun/RA/RAdius), PA-gan (PO-gan as used in many C. European countries; they had the knowledge of the power of waters this is why they got ridiculed; same thing happend with the BAR-bars, who had the knowledge of the atmosferic powers, later on were named barons), mono-PO-lium, PO-tential, plenty-PO-tential, omni-PO-tential, PO-pe, PO-st (watr fasting), a-PO-stole, PO-ntius Pil(r)ates, macro-PO-lis, PO-pul-ation, a-PO-calypse (I am not a native english speaker but i am almost sure that the word "lypse" once was related to shortage, deficiency; just like in the eclypse). In the Revelations John is giving us a hint where to look for the answer: fiery, sharp sWORD coming out of the mouth. We should of pay much more attention what we are creating/destroying by logos!
and I forgot to mention one of the key words: PU-mp, which in many languages is PO-mp or PO-mpa, from where derived the word PO-mpous/extravagant/overblown, just like the Crystal PA-lace. For example the firefighter in Romanian is PO-mpier (PUmping the water)
+ POseidon' s tri-dent has to refer to the 3 states of the water/PO (PO--ur, eva-PO-rate, PO-lar)
+ A-PO-llo / Á-PO-ló (who was the deity of healing, light, music, revelations, poetry, archery) in Hungarian means literally healer/nurse, where music has to refer to healing with ORGONE sound/freqvency and the light to the light healing as seen for example in St. Joseph church in Lancaster, the ARCH and bow has to refer to VAULT/ARCHitecture and also to ARCHives (baptizmal letters, sheet music collections), revelation/Bible, POetry/psalms and verse (vers/HU=PO-em and also ív/HU=ARCH, thus: ARCH-ive= ARCH-ARCH or ív-ív). Those gods at Babel sure confused the languages, and as such also our perception.

I'm sure nobody else is going to say this: I read your comment/self-reply all the way through. It was well thought and insightful. You've connected alot of dots, and furthered my own research and understanding.
Mostly though, I am grateful that there's at least 1 person who delivers Long comments and replies!! RAFLMFAO I'm the same way. I'm going to post a lengthy comment, that I hope you enjoy!
This helps my depression and insomnia
You are intelligent dude
Depression AND insomnia? Read the Psalms.
Get well soon
Yeah
That's why I clicked on it
The level of detail in your video's is outstanding. You have a pleasant voice, for me being a Dutch guy you have a pleasant accent to listen for long periods of times. The tempo of information bringing is also just right and the type of subjects you bring up is so goddamn interesting. Enough with the feather stocking. You have my like sir.
Hes Dutch? Ive watched literally all the video's and I never would have guessed. And Dutch is one of the hardest accents to get rid of in English :D Goeie videos man, je bent momenteel echt 1 van de top-gesciedenis kanalen.

Sounding more pleasant than a Dutch accent is not a great feat..
Thank you so much. That was amazing!
Enjoyed your video. I'll probably watch it more times to digest it as it has extensive content to put together.
Very entertaining , thanks . Cornwall was almost my second home , Tintagel , exciting .
My father spent time on Cyprus , often snorkeling just off the beach . Finding various artefacts , kept them in his garden . When taking on piece to the museum , had it confiscated , deemed a 'National Treasure ' . However , I did acquire the top of an urn , with one complete handle , and an opening of about 90 mm . While now living in the south east coast of South Africa , there was a find a few years ago that hinted about ancient travelers passing the coast , or coming to grief !
Amazing content, i'm usually not a fan of long video like this, but i have to admit that the ones i watched from you totally took me over and i'll gladly watch more. Good holidays to you people.
When I saw some were 3 hours I thought omg I won’t watch all at once…. I did 👏👏👏👏👏 enthralling documentaries
I've always had the feeling that Greek and Phoenician culture influenced each other a lot, because the writing systems are similar, both tended to be maritime powers with city-states early on, and in general some of their art reminds me of Greek art as well. I wonder it might be more than Phoenician and Greek culture blended together after the Phoenicians were absorbed into Alexander the Great's empire, much like Roman and Greek culture blended together later on? We know for sure that Greek culture didn't exactly disappear when the Romans conquered Greece, so it's conceivable that our idea of what Greek culture is also includes elements of Phoenician culture. Even in those early days, those cultures around the Mediterranean interacted and shared quite a bit.
I know right? Especially the style of wall reliefs
The Greeks took the alphabet from the Phoenecians, who invented it and spread it via their trade. The Mycenaeans didn't have an alphabet--their script is now known as Linear B and it's a syllabary not an alphabet. City-states were also the norm back then--Carthage, Rome, and Babylon were all city-states that conquered and subjugated whole empires and so we stopped thinking of them as city-states. So those two similarities are pretty easily explainable.
But yeah cultures definitely mix, and there's no one definition for "Greek" culture. If you asked Plato whether Alexander (a Macedonian) was Greek (Έλληνας), he would have likely said no. But we also know that Alexander brought Greek culture when he conquered the area, because 150 years later the Maccabees struggled against Hellenized Jews during their revolt. So there were almost certainly "Hellenized Phoenicians" to the north as well.
Although, it's worth noting that Tyre (mother city of Carthage) was about half-annihilated by Alexander after he took the city, so native culture obviously took a hit as well. Kings & Generals just did an awesome video on that battle you might be interested in: ruclips.net/video/98inDANKtEs/видео.html
Ever heard of christianity?
@@senormoll Vinča alfabet is older and the oldest , pheonicans arent older then Arians( Slavs)
@@lukorradiko1183 nah you’re mistaken, the Slavs didn’t have an alphabet until they converted to Christianity, like 900AD. They’re actually among the last people on earth to get an alphabet
Coming here Jan2024 -TQVM for sharing this Phoenicians history online, with all the hard work researching then production - Cheers from Borneo ✌🍃🌊🌏
