your videos keep getting better, always a joy to watch! nitpick: Carthage literally meant "new city" in the Punic language, so it was... always referred to as such! brilliant though
There are many fallacies and distortions that Rome deliberately made to create a bad image of Carthage, while the Greeks wrote objectively about the history of Carthage and their fascination with it. Among the distortions are claims of killing children and offering them as sacrifices. When you read what was written about Carthage from the point of view of other historians, you realize that these distortions are illogical. Aristotle wrote about Carthage in his book "On Politics" and expressed his admiration for it as a just country. It is also believed that Plato's book about the virtuous city may have been derived from his image or perception of Carthage. It is noteworthy that Carthage was the first civilization to abolish slavery and consider everyone citizens, the first civilization to establish a Senate (parliament), the first civilization to invent coins, and the first civilization to establish a constitution and laws. Magon is also considered the first agricultural engineer and the first to write about agriculture and compile an encyclopedia on the subject. Additionally, it is noteworthy that the Carthaginians were the first to discover the Americas before Columbus. Carthage had maritime, commercial, and agricultural power, in addition to excellence in crafts, ceramics, and the arts. The mosaics were delicate and exquisite. Carthaginian mosaics were seized by Rome after their overthrow. Iron machines used to steal the mosaics are still found in museums to this day. After the fall of Carthage, the Romans took Magon's agricultural book as spoils and used it to develop agriculture in Rome, which was suffering from hunger at that time. All the seeds, including lemons, olives, and wheat, were transported to Rome, and agriculture developed thanks to Carthage. Rome intended to make Carthaginian agricultural lands a source of its agricultural needs, and Carthage was called the granary of Rome. It has recently been discovered that the origin of macaroni is Tunisian-Carthaginian. The Carthaginians had a pasta resembling spaghetti but in smaller sizes, made from durum wheat, which was available in Carthage but not in Rome. After the overthrow of Carthage, the Romans learned and developed pasta making. Modern historians reveal many secrets about the great Carthage, and I feel very proud of this. Carthage Tunisia 🇹🇳
