Well think about it it’s in the center of the “known world” between Europe, Asia, and Africa. In addition, the Bible says that the area is “a land of milk and honey” which means that it has lots of resources and riches. So, it has been prime real estate for many a empire in history. Except the Romans, who called the area a wasteland essentially.
@Ghost Ghost The Jewish-Roman wars is what I think you are referring to. Those were three wars. That does not stop them from saying that Judea was a wasteland. Judea was nothing to the Romans. They didn’t understand the conflicts there.
@Flavius Ibrahimius well I misunderstood. But the video is about Canaan. And people fought for Canaan for millennia too. So, that’s what I thought. It was a misunderstanding.
It's the only place between three continents. Without America, the center of the world is in Central Asia, but with America which is closer to Europe than Asia (except for Alaska), the center of the world goes to Israel, where God chose to have his throne, the middle of the biggest desert region in the world from the Gobi to western Sahara. It is also between seas (Red and Med. of course). It is perfectly situated for the Messiah, but the Anti-Christ shall rule before Jesus returns.
@@Tiger_Fanatic Judea was nothing to them? So why did they lose thousands to keep it? It's like the US claiming Iraq is worthless. Then why rape it based on a lie? I did a video proving that the US funds ISIS.
This is really a wonderful video. The combination of history, topography, and your art is incredibly enjoyable and informative. Thank you very much for making this. I hope you do more of this kind of historical-geographic analysis in the future.
This explanation is the first I hear which concludes literally everything in one small episode regardless of religion, language and holiness I needed ten days just to go over every single piece of information you had produced here. you are a genius. Thank you
You've definitely helped me better understand how the early world functioned, and just how much of a role that topography and resource distribution played into that. From the copper mines on Cyprus bringing wealth to that island, to the water reserves at Jericho which allowed that city to prosper, you really go out of your way to explain how the land shaped us as a species. Thank you for creating this content, the work you put into these videos is wonderful.
I’ve been waiting on a Canaan video, my most recent research has been around them! Epimetheus, you never disappoint, AND always post RIGHT when I need it!
I really love how once you understand the topography and geography of a place like Canaan you begin to underatand the literature surround such a place on a whole other level. It's a great shame that geography isn't taught more widely.
@@EpimetheusHistory It's like trying to teach painting without teaching drawing. You'll figure out ideas about colour theory but you won't be able to see how it comes together.
@@DCdabest I'd go with it's more like trying to teach landscape art without teaching the rules of perspective. People can duplicate what they see alright enough without them, but understanding them really adds to the sense of depth in the image
Man thank god you do these beautiful videos of Ancient history. It would be sooo interesting seeing a Bronze Age Northern European or maybe more in France and Alps, keep up the absolutely beautiful work!
Jerusalem was a Canaanite city before being invaded by David. Phoenicians were also Canaanites. They invented the alphabet. Must compliment the author on a brilliant non-political balanced presentation, his excellent graphics and on his last positive humanitarian comment.
This was great work! 👏 I’m Jordanian Christian from Al Salt and Madaba (mountains in north east of Dead Sea region), and I did 23andMe, and my paternal haplogroup is E-M123, found in Canaanites, and generally South Levant people. Around 15% of Ashkenazi Jews are E-M123 and same for Jordanians and I love that, because it means that we are from a single group of male ancestors that have deep roots to the region! Peace ☮️
Found it quite informative all the way through, but the call to individual responsibility and ignoring collective guilt in the end was what made me really respect you. Sub guaranteed.
As a Palestinian, I wish to express my appreciation for your work, which has undoubtedly enlightened me regarding the hitherto undisclosed historical facets of the region. This is particularly significant for me, given my origins in Tel al Safi (Gath).
@@Ahmad-oh6icthis you actually got wrong. Cananites are a subgroup of the Phoenicians. Phonecians were a vast spans of people, and many lived in both Judea and Jerusalem and later many became Jewish. DNA sampling suggest that ancient Phoenicians lived on to what is today people living in Israel and Lebanon. The Palestinians of today are not so much unified group of people. Many came to the region in the 1800s from both Jordan and Lebanon, as part of Arab immigrants. Some Arab tribes lived in the region longer and an often be defined as we today call Palestinians, even though they at this time did not have a unified name for the people in the region. This is important as the idea of one group having a claim over another doesn’t really match on in either of the Jewish or Arabic cases. But have ties there, both population were exchanged over time and expelled at different ages. The original people are long dead, and only ancestors who are a mix of so many cultures and ethnics since then, are alive today. If an argument of the area belonging to solely belonging to Arabs, then similiar claims must be true for the European crusaders and their offspring that for a long time lived in the region. Same as the Christian population who often is called “Christian Arabs” or “Christian Palestinians”. Remember, these Christian have longer ties to the region as they never left, and DNA studies reveal a much different profile than Muslim Arab counterparts, indicating a separation much earlier. In other words, this conflict is not Arabs vs Jews, it is not natives versus invaders.
You realize 66 readily available books of lore were written about this area and its people, right? There are reasons why this particular story has that feel to it.
Well the stories from the bible were taken and adapted to fit European culture so it is more lore than historical fact. Its a lore meant to elevate the European higher than their lowly standing in the bible. It's the same reason why they hid the fact that they're the biblical gentiles. Gentiles are a people that come from japheth but they changed the meaning so they wouldn't be isolated for breaking the new covenant.
This is a very good explanation as it refers to the natural topography and geography of the area, which is ignored by most so-called historians but which are the absolute defining element in differentiation of populations and whatever follows these populations as we see back and call their stories as history.
I mean, how many people on RUclips even talk about the Bronze Age? One of the biggest reasons I'm subscribed to this channel is because it is a lot of quality content about the Bronze Age
I don't know. I need more proof. Maybe if Epimetheus makes a video about the formation of the Aramaean kingdoms during the Bronze Age Collapse or something, *wink wink*
During my studies of the Holy scriptures it's interesting that I can see the places in my head but to be able to see them in front of my face like you presented them is really outstanding thank you sir
The Canaanites were not what they are preaching they make them light skin so you through your ignorance will think Jewish people can fit in that land Canaan was the fourth son of ham Noah youngest son who became the father of the African races Hamite Africans are jet black so Canaanites were jet back most of the giants were the Canaanites
That was fascinating. I liked your explanation of the 4 terrains and the highlights of the terrain in different colours. That helped my simple mind. Loved it all :)

@@EpimetheusHistory hey epimetheus, we’re the Hyksos basically mamluk warrior slaves/mercenaries? Hence their families came as well? What do you think of this theory?
@wolfs hordes well no, the Egyptian dynasty with any Semitic paternal dna is the Hyksos dynasty and the dynasty after that. Both had very dark brown skin and black skin. We found out some had blonde hair but no red in the Hyksos dynasty and the 18th dynasty. The Hyksos had no Celtic pottery, Celtic language, no Celtic customs that could be seen in bodies after several thousand years. R1b-v88 is thought to come from Syria. In reality, the Irish have dna from these Neolithic agriculturalists who spread to Europe.
Well done! I particularly like your maps. They help to make clear why people/peoples settled in different areas and fought in specific places. I would like even more granular maps. Guess I will have to consider Patreon so I am worth listening to. Will look at more of your stuff to help me make that decision. Till then, thank you!
Syrian writer Abdul Rahman Al-Kawakibi once wrote: "The most severe types of tyranny are: the government that is ruled by one individual that has absolute power, the heir to the throne, the commander of the army, and the possessor of religious authority" أشد مراتب الإستبداد هي: حكومة الفرد المطلق، الوارث للعرش، القائد للجيش، الحائز على سلطة دينية. - عبد الرحمن الكواكبي
I always seen syrians boasting with their quotes but throughout the history it's either them who were continiously subjugated by outsiders due to their weakness or creating instability by themselves lol
It's so easy to get lost in the rich geographic description of this small strip of land to think you're describing a fictional world from a fantasy novel. Goes to show how interesting the land's history was and how well you do justice to it
Reality can be doper than what we can dream of if you go deep Also, it is funny to think that if I were to show this geography to a couple of fantasy cartography communities I probably would be shouted at by some of how unrealistic it seems by at least a dozen arm-chair "experts" (provided they didn't know about it being real)
@@jezusbloodie EXACTLY!! The best world builders were inspired by nothing but the real world. Asimov had the Roman Empire GRRM had all of European History, essentially. Tolkien was inspired by Celtic folklore. All these armchair "experts" put together amount to only fanfics with a combined 4000 readers lol
Awesome video Epi! You should totally do a video about the Scythians or the Achaemenids! I think both would be fantastic videos!! Also the Malians, Kushites, Minoans, and the Celts would be amazing!!!
You forgot the Bible History, they are the ones who live in babylon, Canaan, egypt, philistia, Moab, Ammon, israel. They are the men of ABRAHAM, LAMECH, ISAAC, ENOCH, NOAH, MOSES, GOLIATH, DAVID KING OF ISRAEL.
Wonderful video and fantastic ending words. Most people are sticking too much to their own beliefs of history affected by '' ancestors'' and they dont see the reality and cruelty of their own actions.
Very thorough and great representation of how long and to what extent Egypt ruled the area (which is often greatly underappreciated). My only critique is that you stopped a few centuries too soon. A brief discussion of what happened to the folks in the region...even if just to provide summaries of various theories, would have made this stronger. Right now, it ends as if everyone disappeared at once.
It's interesting how fresh water is still one of the main conflictual topics in the region today! After watching of bunch of your videos, I also noticed that what ancient people called "warlike people" were often semi-nomadic tribes with little resources that had no other choice but to raid others. Through natural selection, we can assume only the most aggressive males passed on their genes.
You vastly underestimate social marital systems, "smart" skills like Trading and negotiating and how much you can generate on even a barren arid landscapes through the power of Mobility.
They did have a choice they could have asked to get some help from others but they didn't they just take and take and keep taking with no regrets to others property
Nice documentary. I would also talk about their main cities Biblos,Tyre and Sidon, About their heroic battles against Alexander the Great. About Elisar (and the beautiful story about her and the cows' skin), who flew from her brother to Carthage and established a phoenician colony there . About phoenicians inventing the first alphabets, building the first ships, discovering the purple dye from a sea shell, about their trade acting as strong link between India and the near east.
@@Jascosaurus What did they call themselves? Phoenicians? In every Euro-Middle Eastern documentary, movie, book or information gathering, the Canaanites are depicted as those in this video.. Caucasian/Asian/Eurasians
Great video that answers so many questions. Biblically, Canaanites were descendants of Canaan who was the lastborn son to Ham, who was also lasborn son to Noah. Canaan's most notable brother is Nimrod known to be a skilled and mighty hunter, other off-biblical sources names Nimrod as the one who spearheaded the building of the Babel tower and later founded the ancient Babylon city. It is also worth noting that Ham, the father to Canaan was also nicknamed Canaan.
Amazing video! Just a correction, Armageddon has nothing to do with Megiddo. It's the consonants "har mem 'ayin" - just like Gomorrah is spelt with an 'ayin, and not with a gimel (’amorah). In simple terms, the expression reads "har mōʿed", which is a biblical term to refer to Jerusalem, the "mount of assembly" in Isaiah 14, also called Zion. That last battle (which is spiritual btw, not a battle of human beings) will be fought in Jerusalem, which, if you know the OT, makes perfect sense.
Canaanites also inhibited the eastern part of the Arabian peninsula. They were able to dig so many underground springs they converted the land into a beautiful farm land.
@@ozymandias7592 do you know that Canaanites emigrated from the Arabian Peninsula to the Levant right? Idk what's the level of your knowledge of history but i'm pretty sure if you read one single book about the subject you will find this well-known fact.

Glad youtube suggested you, great video. I appreciated the geography and elevation overview of the region too. That really helped me grasp the lay of the land of the region in a much better way than I've come across until now! I also liked seeing the surrounding tribes' territory. When you read and hear about all these endless different '-ites' but can't visualize how they relate to each other geographically and who's in what type of climate and therefore lifestyle it doesn't click the same way at all. Great work!

I needed ten days just to go over every single piece of information you had produced here.

Thank you
Astuteness, humor and elegance all tapped into one video. You’re one of my new favorite internet historians.
Thank you GazpachoMacho!
You've definitely helped me better understand how the early world functioned, and just how much of a role that topography and resource distribution played into that. From the copper mines on Cyprus bringing wealth to that island, to the water reserves at Jericho which allowed that city to prosper, you really go out of your way to explain how the land shaped us as a species.
Thank you for creating this content, the work you put into these videos is wonderful.

This was great work! 👏 I’m Jordanian Christian from Al Salt and Madaba (mountains in north east of Dead Sea region), and I did 23andMe, and my paternal haplogroup is E-M123, found in Canaanites, and generally South Levant people. Around 15% of Ashkenazi Jews are E-M123 and same for Jordanians and I love that, because it means that we are from a single group of male ancestors that have deep roots to the region! Peace ☮️
Why exactly did you feel the need to mention Ashkenazis over the Palestinian indigenous people who carries E-m123?

@@ethanwasme4307palestinians are descendents of cananites
@@Ahmad-oh6icthey ain't most Palestinians are arabs
@@Ahmad-oh6icthis you actually got wrong. Cananites are a subgroup of the Phoenicians. Phonecians were a vast spans of people, and many lived in both Judea and Jerusalem and later many became Jewish. DNA sampling suggest that ancient Phoenicians lived on to what is today people living in Israel and Lebanon.
The Palestinians of today are not so much unified group of people. Many came to the region in the 1800s from both Jordan and Lebanon, as part of Arab immigrants. Some Arab tribes lived in the region longer and an often be defined as we today call Palestinians, even though they at this time did not have a unified name for the people in the region.
This is important as the idea of one group having a claim over another doesn’t really match on in either of the Jewish or Arabic cases. But have ties there, both population were exchanged over time and expelled at different ages. The original people are long dead, and only ancestors who are a mix of so many cultures and ethnics since then, are alive today.
If an argument of the area belonging to solely belonging to Arabs, then similiar claims must be true for the European crusaders and their offspring that for a long time lived in the region. Same as the Christian population who often is called “Christian Arabs” or “Christian Palestinians”. Remember, these Christian have longer ties to the region as they never left, and DNA studies reveal a much different profile than Muslim Arab counterparts, indicating a separation much earlier. In other words, this conflict is not Arabs vs Jews, it is not natives versus invaders.
A 13-minute gem. I just quadrupled my knowledge of this region's history. Thanks!
This moment of history of humanity for me feels not like history but more like the lore of some books series.
You realize 66 readily available books of lore were written about this area and its people, right? There are reasons why this particular story has that feel to it.
art imitates life
The earth series
Well the stories from the bible were taken and adapted to fit European culture so it is more lore than historical fact. Its a lore meant to elevate the European higher than their lowly standing in the bible. It's the same reason why they hid the fact that they're the biblical gentiles. Gentiles are a people that come from japheth but they changed the meaning so they wouldn't be isolated for breaking the new covenant.

Wonderful video and fantastic ending words. Most people are sticking too much to their own beliefs of history affected by '' ancestors'' and they dont see the reality and cruelty of their own actions.
Very thorough and great representation of how long and to what extent Egypt ruled the area (which is often greatly underappreciated). My only critique is that you stopped a few centuries too soon. A brief discussion of what happened to the folks in the region...even if just to provide summaries of various theories, would have made this stronger. Right now, it ends as if everyone disappeared at once.
That depiction of the levant was incredible. Completely changed my view of that place, great job!
It's interesting how fresh water is still one of the main conflictual topics in the region today! After watching of bunch of your videos, I also noticed that what ancient people called "warlike people" were often semi-nomadic tribes with little resources that had no other choice but to raid others. Through natural selection, we can assume only the most aggressive males passed on their genes.
You vastly underestimate social marital systems, "smart" skills like Trading and negotiating and how much you can generate on even a barren arid landscapes through the power of Mobility.
They did have a choice they could have asked to get some help from others but they didn't they just take and take and keep taking with no regrets to others property

Biblically, Canaanites were descendants of Canaan who was the lastborn son to Ham, who was also lasborn son to Noah. Canaan's most notable brother is Nimrod known to be a skilled and mighty hunter, other off-biblical sources names Nimrod as the one who spearheaded the building of the Babel tower and later founded the ancient Babylon city.
It is also worth noting that Ham, the father to Canaan was also nicknamed Canaan.

Amazing video! Just a correction, Armageddon has nothing to do with Megiddo. It's the consonants "har mem 'ayin" - just like Gomorrah is spelt with an 'ayin, and not with a gimel (’amorah). In simple terms, the expression reads "har mōʿed", which is a biblical term to refer to Jerusalem, the "mount of assembly" in Isaiah 14, also called Zion.

The reason why Not-A-Space-Agency is afraid of doing anymore cgi, animation-based, studio production(s) to fake: landing on the Moon; are because:
-people can easily discover for themselves that the Moon is not a solid rock-ball in "space" that reflect the Sun's light! The Moon shines it's own unique light; a "cold-light" which cools down the temperature of whatever object the Moonlight shines on!
-The Moon can be viewed/seen well after the Sunrise into the day!
-Blue sky can be seen seamlessly blended into the view behind the sometimes transparent Moon (the strange, mysterious, coincidence-based Raleigh Scattering Phenomenon is an unbelievable, absurd, and hilarious reason)!
-The color/look of Moonlight and Sunlight are entirely different!
-People can purchase a fine-quality, very high-powered, reliable, binocular or telescope for under $300 online and zoom on the Moon as much as possible to see if Not-A-Space-Agency is really sending a rocket, or anything for that matter, onto the Moon at all !!!
