Nowadays Tyre is a peninsula and not island anymore. As far I understand it was precisely because of the bridge Alexander built. It changes the sediment deposition pattern and expanded the bridge. Fascinating stuff
Yeah, I saw that when looking at it in Google maps...would love to visit one day, so much medieval history there too! Hope all is well with you and thanks so much for watching and continuing to support the channel!
Yes, I recently learned of this. *Talk about "leaving an impression".* - Alexander, the "Aggressor" (can't bring myself to accept the title as it is attributed to his campaigns of War, his Great can definitely be found in his Higher Minded efforts, aka "the Library"), (what he allowed in Persia, tarnished his triumph).
Wait, is that not included in this documentary? I'm just starting it, and barely feel like it's worth finishing if it's not going to cover such an important detail. Essentially, Tyre's safety as an island was a key component in the ability of the Phoenician movement to survive so much Mediterranean upheaval. Alexander, destroying Tyre, broke the core of the culture. That led to Carthage, the largest remaining Phoenician center, to poorly carry on until its more aggressive attitudes got it conquered by Rome. If not for the destruction of Tyre, the Phoenician culture may have survived. Not acceptable to overlook that part.
Cy to add to your excellent report The Tyrians refused Alexander’s bid to sacrifice in the main citadel because symbolically that would mean he had true dominion over the city (ancient superstition/tradition ) instead offering him the temple in the old Tyre. It wasn’t exactly Herakles either it was Melkart the supposed Phoenician equivalent. Great video!!
As someone born and raised in Tyre, which we call Sour in the local language, i appreciate your work so much! Sometimes i walk around the old ruins of Tyre and look at people around walking and not realizing what they are standing next to!
I was listening to the History of Egypt podcast today, and it was heavily focused on the letters from the governor of the city of Byblos, Rib-Hadda, who was constantly petitioning the king of Egypt for aid against a rebellious vassal, Abdi-Ashirta & sons, but was (seemingly) often ignored. Felt really bad for the guy... Great vid as usual. Byblos in the future I hope? :D
Thanks! Yes, will definitely do Byblos and read some of those letters between the pharaoh and Rib-Hadda, also might do something on Abdi-Ashirta and Aziru, more when I get to the New Kingdom of Egypt which should be later on this year. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
Yes, people often talk of Egypt having an "Empire", but their xenophobia meant it was more of a hegemony and Egypt didn't give a toss what happened there so long as the tribute kept coming.
Lebanon, Sarajevo, and Abkhazia were some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame all the constant strife over those beautiful places. Cheers
This is another great video Cy! Excellent work, as per usual. Ancient Levantine cities are always fascinating to learn about. I'd love to see you cover more!
Just love the way that Cy reads the Ancient Texts! Sure would enjoy endlessly... Maybe even reading from Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal - just a few of the possibilities?
I’ve been looking forward to this. Trying to work out a story involving Agenor and his rise to kingship following both the myths and history. Not always easy. Keep up the good work, Cy

After the collapse of the bronze age and the Mycenaean empire in the 12th century BC, the Phoenicians took over trade in the Mediterranean, until, of course, the new Greek colonization in the 8th century BC.
basically every fertile crescent region city: long history of defending against/losing/bargaining/becoming vassals to egyptians/assyrians/babylonians/persians until: "the city then was hellenised and lost it's identity before it was taken by romans."
Citium (Citium) is the Latinised form of the Ancient Greek name Kition (Κιτιον), which is itself the Hellenised form of a Phoenician name attested in the forms 𐤊𐤕 (kt) and 𐤊𐤕𐤉 (kty), among the names of other Cypriot cities, and considered to refer to Kition. The town with the name Kittim in the bible, used by the Hebrews to designate all of Cyprus and even lands further west. Literary evidence suggests an early Phoenician presence also at Kition which was under Tyrian rule at the beginning of the 10th century BC. Some Phoenician merchants who were believed to come from Tyre colonized the area and expanded the political influence of Kition. After c. 850 BC the sanctuaries [at the Kathari site] were rebuilt and reused by the Phoenicians." Ptolemy I conquered Cyprus in 312 BC and killed Poumyathon, the Phoenician king of Kition, and burned the temples. Shortly afterwards the Cypriot city-kingdoms were dissolved and the Phoenician dynasty of Kition was abolished.
Wherever the Greeks invaded, death, destruction and total annihilation followed. The Hellenistic Era is one of the worst and darkest eras in human history. On the same level as the Mongol invasions.
oh, you are gonna talk about all the important Canaanite cities? That's freaking dope! Will you talk about the city of Jericho and Moab too? About Moab... I am still confused about its identity. On one hand it's obviously a Canaanite city with clear sign of canaanite beliefs and culture. However, the Israelites called them canaanite sometimes and sometimes they didn't. In the book of Joshua the Moabites are left alone during the conquest and their land is "called land of Moab", presenting it as a separate land from Canaan, even tho they are clearly canaanites, a big canaanite state, yes, possibly a small empire, but canaanite none the less... It's confusing. I know that Canaanite is a rather deceptive word, cause they were never a unified people. But still, it's like if the persians called most of Greece and greek citystates "Greece", but called Athen "the Athenian state", making it separate from the rest of Greece in their literature out of nowere. It's just... weird...
Yes, will definitely talk more about Canaanite cities, Byblos will be the next one. As for Jericho and Moab, that's a good question. I think (and I could be wrong) but a lot of speakers of western Semitic languages in ancient times get lumped together as Canaanites. I think in the case of Moab, it could be considered a Canaanite state/people since I know that their language was just another dialect of Canaanite, not something different like Akkadian. I personally would classify Moabites as one of the several Canaanite peoples, but to be sure probably want to confer with a specialist in the field. Hope all else is well on your end and thanks for watching!

Cities with names like Tyre, Tyrios, Tyrias, Troas, Troy were founded by western pre Iranian TIRAS folks also known as Tyir, TyrNanGog, Astures, Sharatini, Saturni, Raeatea, Rhaetians, Thraxians, Thrace from 4300?-1200bc. Invaded in 3400bc by TUBAL folks and in 1100-500bc by CANAAN folks.

I support a Middle East that accepts non Arab and non Muslim culture. Reason: in its inception, the area was diverse. Most non diverse societies in the region are nothing to brag about.
Great exposition, but no mention of any connection with neighbours like Syria, Israel and Judah, just the empires. Wasn't Ahab's wife Jezebel supposed to be a Tyrian Princess and King David's palace and Solomons Temple were both claimed to be built with the help of Tyre?
Still nothing on Chaldeans ? come on we had Nebuchadnezzar , Nabupolossar, Belshazzr, Marduk Baladan, Amel Marduk, Marduk apla addina II ! Hammurabi, We created astrology as well. we had skirmish’s with the Assyrians, Ahsurbanipals library was mostly books on Chaldean Astronomy astrology and religious texts and all that.
I love how thick modern historians are today. It shouldn't take six years of 'mandarin school' to figure out the obvious: - The Phoenicians, as claimed by contemporaries like Herodotus, flourished due to early control of shipping, but also by piracy and the monopolization of religious, trading, and governmental powers under one trading network through her colonies, like some proto-Hanseatic League. They were sailing the 'high-seas' while the Gyppos were still figuring out how to float a dingy down the Nile. - All the Sea Peoples origins have links to Phoenician colonizers. The Sherdan with their horned helmets and solar disks (think Ba'al/El). Thebes, Argos, and Mycenae all have founding links to Phoenicia. Crete/Minos was so obviously founded by Phoenicians the historians have to be getting paid off at this point to ignore this. At least they admit Cadmus was Phoenician. - Then these mysterious "Sea Peoples" go around and sack the entire world, EXCEPT for all these Phoenician trading cities and colonies abroad. The Egyptians have a special relationship with the Phoenicians, since they were the ones supplying the cedarwood for Egyptian temples, hence they are spared. - Immediately after this, the Phoenicians start their Golden Age. Meanwhile their cousins, the Israelites, are founding their 12 tribes and securing the Phoenician hinterland, sporting similar names that the Egyptians were calling the Sea Peoples. Wesh-ash (Tribe of Asher), Dan-yen (Tribe of Dan). ... .. - " BUT WHO WERE THE SEA PEOPLES?!" *facepalm*
Hi! Oh, I think if you're in Brazil it seem to be defaulting to the Portuguese dub. If you go to the "Settings" gear icon, you can change it back to English. RUclips is testing that feature and based on your location it seems to be defaulting to either Portuguese, Spanish or some other language. Let me know if that works and thanks for watching!
Came upon this because I was studying about it in the bible. Tyre is mentioned in the old and new testament. Thìs shows you how accurate the BIBLE is! The bible tells you what would happen to Tyre. Jesus himself quoted Tyre. Did not see the connection. You lost me!!!!
funny that you watch this video the biblical account because Ezekiel 26 is a clear false prophecy regarding Tyre. according to Ezekiel tire would be completely destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon but as this video clearly shows he conducted a 13-year siege and then Tyre paid him off to go away. clearly not what Ezekiel saw in his prophecy
@@YatsarEL-17 I'm both understand ezekiel's prophecy and how Christian apologists twist both the scripture and archaeological history to try to make it something other than the false prophecy that it obviously is.
@@wrrbates ezekiel said nations would crush tyre, how then would you expect nebuchadnezzar to destroy both the island and mainland of tyre, He did send men to tyre, he did overcome then with horses and crush down the city, on its mainland city of course. But for ezekiel prophesy to come true more than one empire would have to come down upon tyre, this was fufiled through Alexander.
@@YatsarEL-17 tyre was supposed to sink into the sea, never to be found again, never to be rebuilt, and he was talking about the island not the suburban on the mainland, tyre is one of the oldest CONTINUALLY INHABITED cities in the world, the ezekiel's prophecy is an utter failure. but you'll jump through hoops to make it so it isn't otherwise it crushes your laughably inept belief of biblical inerrancy, I understand it's an existential crisis for you, but you're just going to have to suck it up, or keep deluding yourself, either way it makes no difference to me
Nowadays Tyre is a peninsula and not island anymore. As far I understand it was precisely because of the bridge Alexander built. It changes the sediment deposition pattern and expanded the bridge. Fascinating stuff

I’m pretty sure that causeway remains to this day, expanded upon slowly over time, turning the island into a peninsula.

I support a Middle East that accepts non Arab and non Muslim culture.
Reason: in its inception, the area was diverse. Most non diverse societies in the region are nothing to brag about.
I’m Christian Lebanese and we are not Arabs. We are the descendants of the Phoenicians.
Think Alexander sacked Tyre because of all the puns?
Do you know the land called manali from Tamilnadu, india,
Sennacherib's new demands made them tyred of it and rebel.
🤣🤣🤣 that's a good one! Thanks for watching, Ur great! Lots more on the way, rest Ashured!
@@HistorywithCy you was even better . Haha
Greedy and arrogant kingsmen...slaves will always break out of tyranny. The kings are dead. Long live the people...long and properous.
Hadda from reno
Great exposition, but no mention of any connection with neighbours like Syria, Israel and Judah, just the empires. Wasn't Ahab's wife Jezebel supposed to be a Tyrian Princess and King David's palace and Solomons Temple were both claimed to be built with the help of Tyre?
Still nothing on Chaldeans ? come on we had Nebuchadnezzar , Nabupolossar, Belshazzr, Marduk Baladan, Amel Marduk, Marduk apla addina II ! Hammurabi, We created astrology as well. we had skirmish’s with the Assyrians, Ahsurbanipals library was mostly books on Chaldean Astronomy astrology and religious texts and all that.
Wait was Baal the king or who the canaanites worshipped?
every "history" video is just the wars
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Lucky , Israelis did not get their dirty hands on Tyre
I love how thick modern historians are today. It shouldn't take six years of 'mandarin school' to figure out the obvious:
- The Phoenicians, as claimed by contemporaries like Herodotus, flourished due to early control of shipping, but also by piracy and the monopolization of religious, trading, and governmental powers under one trading network through her colonies, like some proto-Hanseatic League. They were sailing the 'high-seas' while the Gyppos were still figuring out how to float a dingy down the Nile.
- All the Sea Peoples origins have links to Phoenician colonizers. The Sherdan with their horned helmets and solar disks (think Ba'al/El). Thebes, Argos, and Mycenae all have founding links to Phoenicia. Crete/Minos was so obviously founded by Phoenicians the historians have to be getting paid off at this point to ignore this. At least they admit Cadmus was Phoenician.
- Then these mysterious "Sea Peoples" go around and sack the entire world, EXCEPT for all these Phoenician trading cities and colonies abroad. The Egyptians have a special relationship with the Phoenicians, since they were the ones supplying the cedarwood for Egyptian temples, hence they are spared.
- Immediately after this, the Phoenicians start their Golden Age. Meanwhile their cousins, the Israelites, are founding their 12 tribes and securing the Phoenician hinterland, sporting similar names that the Egyptians were calling the Sea Peoples. Wesh-ash (Tribe of Asher), Dan-yen (Tribe of Dan).
...

- " BUT WHO WERE THE SEA PEOPLES?!"
*facepalm*
I never tyre of these
🤣🤣🤣 love it! Thanks for watching!

I wonder the true nature of the Phoenician cities to each other.
Why is this not narrated in English but in Brazilian Portuguese?
Hi! Oh, I think if you're in Brazil it seem to be defaulting to the Portuguese dub. If you go to the "Settings" gear icon, you can change it back to English. RUclips is testing that feature and based on your location it seems to be defaulting to either Portuguese, Spanish or some other language. Let me know if that works and thanks for watching!
@@HistorywithCy Lol i’m not in Brazil i’m in the UK i’ve not done anything to the settings but i will have a look on how to change it back.
@@HistorywithCy Just checked the settings and they are all in English so this is not the case for me why the language has changed
I don’t think its the video but YT. It’s in English for me.
@@CJBroonie I fixed it!!
That spinning background is horrible
Yeah I liked the dish and thought I'd try something new, but I can see how it could give one a headache. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!

Alexander the not so great strikes again.
It doesn't even make sense because Baal means Lord!
BCE not BC
Either one works.
Came upon this because I was studying about it in the bible. Tyre is mentioned in the old and new testament. Thìs shows you how accurate the BIBLE is! The bible tells you what would happen to Tyre. Jesus himself quoted Tyre. Did not see the connection. You lost me!!!!
funny that you watch this video the biblical account because Ezekiel 26 is a clear false prophecy regarding Tyre. according to Ezekiel tire would be completely destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon but as this video clearly shows he conducted a 13-year siege and then Tyre paid him off to go away. clearly not what Ezekiel saw in his prophecy
@@wrrbatesyou haven't understood ezekiel prophesy
@@YatsarEL-17 I'm both understand ezekiel's prophecy and how Christian apologists twist both the scripture and archaeological history to try to make it something other than the false prophecy that it obviously is.
@@wrrbates ezekiel said nations would crush tyre, how then would you expect nebuchadnezzar to destroy both the island and mainland of tyre,
He did send men to tyre, he did overcome then with horses and crush down the city, on its mainland city of course. But for ezekiel prophesy to come true more than one empire would have to come down upon tyre, this was fufiled through Alexander.
@@YatsarEL-17 tyre was supposed to sink into the sea, never to be found again, never to be rebuilt, and he was talking about the island not the suburban on the mainland, tyre is one of the oldest CONTINUALLY INHABITED cities in the world, the ezekiel's prophecy is an utter failure. but you'll jump through hoops to make it so it isn't otherwise it crushes your laughably inept belief of biblical inerrancy, I understand it's an existential crisis for you, but you're just going to have to suck it up, or keep deluding yourself, either way it makes no difference to me
