    Today Carthage is remembered only in the context of its dramatic fall at the end of the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage. We all know about Hannibal and the Battle of Cannae but how about the daily life of Carthage. There is much more to this ancient civilization than the dust and ashes left to us by history. Today we will be exploring the Rise of Carthage and dive into the fascinating details of their civilization.
    The history documentary begins by covering the ancient Phoenicians who planted colonies across the Mediterranean. Carthage emerged from this trade network to become the leader of the Phoenicians in the west and eventually come to forge an empire when its mother colony Tyre declined. The history documentary then turns to cover the government, economy, culture, and military of ancient Carthage.

      As much as Rome claimed to destroy Carthage, the truth is that Rome *became* Carthage. Rome learned from Carthage everything necessary to form an Empire: command of the sea, good generalship, diplomacy, commercial mastery. After the Punic Wars, Rome flourished to become a wealthy, multi-cultural society that Carthage once was; and the greatest Roman generals drew lessons and inspiration from Hannibal Barca- a man who was once their greatest enemy. The Romans boasted about destroying Carthage because they were too proud to admit how much they learned from them.

    Amazing how Carthage was founded as part of a recovering civilization that struggled, bloomed and died practically before history was being recorded as a concept. And before them, the Minoans and Mycenaeans had already passed the same cycle, while Egypt abides all. No fiction has expressed anything as fantastic as human history.
    And I enjoyed the Tunisians I had the privilege of meeting who carry the history forward, when they can have open arms to let the rest of the world understand the length and complexity of their history.

      As a Tunisian myself it really bothered me in the past how Carthage was immensely underrated, now i feel like it's starting to receive the attention it should have had and people have started to "give a shit", not just the punic wars, but Carthage as a Republic who explored the New world centuries before Colombus or the fact that they formed the first "special forces unit" in history and so many other wonders that rome erased from the world history.
      So until i see visitors flocking into the ancient remains of Old Carthage before rushing into the resorts in Tunisia would i then know that Carthage's glory is still appreciated by the rest of the world. Greetings from a Carthaginian born and raised :D.

      Tunisians are arabised berbers thinking they're Arabs, just like they were phoenicized berbers, that became punic. Basically native North Africans that never had a reason to stick their nose in world politics untill a foreign culture came giving them a reason to utilise their potential instead of petty vendetta between tribes. If that makes any sense. (At the cost of loss of local /tribal identity?) The cycle repeats.

      ​@Man Antom no man i wasn't talking about Kerkouan !!! that small city is considered valuable now for historians just because it remained intact from the Romanization, but what i was talking about the whole territory of Carthage: this map: www.ducksters.com/history/africa/carthage_map.gif
      is what Carthage covered the city in what is now Tunisia was the first city and turned into the capital of the punic territory
      that map is around the second punic war!! when CARTHAGE LOST IT after the war, people inside that territory didn't vanish they basically maintained their culture!! there is a difference between Tyre city in Phonecia and Carthage!! Carthage was basically an empire not the case in Tyre before centuries as a small city yet connected to a network of commercial colonies!! so the Carthaginians in that whole area didn't vanish because Romans killed everybody in the city!!! plus some survived from the city, and others enslaved, etc like in every war!! basically, it's like saying the Germans killed all the jews during the Nazis era which is not the case millions of jews survived around the globe!! or like all Americans are massacred in a parallel universe just because some country invaded Washington DC and killed all the population the same case here!!! the Spaniards or here it's more like Iberians were CARTHAGINIANS !!! ROME didn't massacre them!! they just got Romanized the same as the others in North AFRICA!!!! they survived, got Romanizedthen got Arabized and so on
      and btw they got envy for sure: the Carthage must be destroyed was said by the senate after he visited the city of Carthage and saw it's prosperity and knew how it will cause Rome big trouble no matter how much they lost during the previous war!!! Rome stole everything from Carthage to Greeks to add to its culture even the fleet itself, Romans copied from Carthage literally after finding a wreck of a destroyed punic ship !! but that's History anyway Carthage came long before ROME and it fell so did Rome later on and other empires!!! they rise and they fall eventually

    Love the illustrations in this video, feels like you've really upped your game! The content is great as well, you've taught me things I didn't know about Carthage, I didn't realise the Carthaginians used auxiliaries as a majority of their land forces, did any other empire in the ancient world do this? Once again, fantastic video!

    The history of Carthage is SOOOOO needed and yet so sparse! I'd love it if you could include/mention Plautus' play "Poenulus" in future videos--it's from the fifty year period between the Second and Third Punic War, and seems to recommend that Romans think of the Carthaginians as real human people with needs and wants and loves and vices that should be INVITED as neighbors into the Roman world. Instead, Rome ended up eventually finding a BS pretext for a third and final war, destroying the city and enslaving everybody.
