Mark, thank you very much for showing Syria in a positive light. The world really needs to see Syria and the Arab world in a good way! Love from Lebanon ❤🇱🇧🇸🇾
I am brazilian living in São Paulo and my grandmother was syrian from Aleppo. The syrian and lebanese immigrants here made the best hospital of my city (mostly the women), the Orthodox Church and they’ve contributed a lot to commerce, politics, universities, art, important people, and of course, the levantine food which is very present in my city and I love it. Thank you so much for showing the great history and culture of Syria when we only hear bad things. I love this country and I will visit someday for sure سلام
In Arab culture if your father was (or is) from somewhere, so you are from the same place. In other words the person belongs to his paternal ancestors place.
Steve didn't leave Syria, his father was a student in the USA a young man who was afraid that his family won't accept a son that was born out of marriage, so he left him in the USA and went home.

I am sorry for her In fact iam from syira : Damascus And I can tell you syira was never a good place to live in All what we thought about ...turns out to be a bigg lie .... illusion I hate being a syiran
I mean it's just nit what emotional syirans thinks about Its just bad and causing sadness and pain Nothing is true about its peace or its beauty Do you think the people are friendly with toursit hhhh They just scram and laugh and lie on themand in some cases abusing them and frauding them
@@ramymedhattobia I think they betrayed most religions, not just yours. The things that they did were barbaric. I'm just happy that there are still people in the world who believe that arabs are nice people, because they are, the media spews out propaganda to bring hate, but in reality, we're all humans, we should all respect each other.

I've been told Syrian Candy is the Best. Love the videos! This series is a great idea for educating and inspiring people. Your videos have inspired me to begin studying Standard Arabic! Much Love from Canada! Can't wait for the Podcast :)
I grew up with Arabs. I love how they respect family and religion. And the food!! My lord! Plus they are sexy! Oww! What’s not to like!? Good people as far as I know.
I feel like you being Christian is making you able to see with less bias than Muslim for a Muslim country. I'm muslim myself and I sometimes I do have my own biases. It's kinda hard to see things objectively. Keep it up Marc. Spread the love for the Arab world.
Amazing Mark , I am Syrian living in Canada since 2016. I just want to say thank you so so much, amazing what you did, you touched my heart, because most of the people think of Syria and Syrian people differently, but In this video you gave the honest truth, the beautiful one about us and hopefully people will learn from that and at least treat us a little better because we are strong people we don't need other's pity, just need to be treated with a bit of love and respect and believe that we are strong good people. Mark , thank you again all the love for you.
I sometimes hear about how Lebanese and Syrians don't like each other, but I love how you're bringing us together. We're brothers and sisters and we stand together. I will always support Syria and I wish nothing but the best for all of you. May God free you from your suffering ❤ lots of love to all the Arab countries and Arabs.

Farid Alatrash, I say more influential than his sister Asmahan, as a singer, musician composer and actor.
the oldest inhabited city is debatable, its a competition between byblos, jericho and damascus. carbon dating is not exact so we dont know which one is. its safe to say levantine area is the the oldest inhabited cities in the world.
Jbeil-Byblos Baalback ... You are correct, it is debatable, depending on “continuously inhabited”, what defines a “city”, at what size do they start counting, or just start at first settlement, etc... Nonetheless, Damascus and now Aleppo are at the top in all sources I’ve seen, followed by Byblos and Jericho. Others on the lists are: Sidon, Beirut, Argos (Greece), Plovdiv (Hungary). They are followed by: Sousa (Iran), Erbil (Iraq) , Varanasi (India), Faiyum (Egypt) and Gaziantep (Turkey) - generally all considered over 6,000 y.o.
@@rruma5204 Let us just say that we are (Byblos, Sidon, Aleppo, and Damascus) from the oldest continuously inhabitent cities. After all we are neighbors and have supported each others through hard times, wars, and battle historically, and even still to date.

Me and my brother love your page and it’s helped us understand our Lebanese roots while also making us laugh! I’m 100% Lebanese but would love to see a video on Palestine and Jordan, please!!
I know, I comment your Video too late. All I want to say, Iam deeply being touch by your perfect presentation and I feel blessed as a syrian and lebanese.
I am Syrian origin and I live in UK. I greatly appreciate the valuable information you have provided on my country. Especially to shed light on the Syrian civilization and the past that we are proud of instead of the sad present. Xxxxx
Being of half Lebanese and half Syrian descent, I have really enjoyed these past two Arab Facts videos you've created. Every country you cover is limited to a broad overview that relates to people with no to some to a lot of background knowledge. Any content left out is a chance for someone to add more content in the comments to further each video. You did a wonderful job of presenting both countries, and I'm excited for the rest of the series! Thank you, Mark 🇱🇧❤🇸🇾
One thing.... The Name "Syria" came not from the the "Assuria"! It's a greek term for the word "Aram". Also in the Septuagint and other Greek scripture there are also the Arameans called as "Syriacs"!
You are wrong buddy Syria did indeed come from Assyria the Greeks called Bilad Al Sham (Syria) because most of its people were considered Assyrians to the Greeks, but because the people of Bilad al Sham did not consider themselves Assyrians the Greeks dropped the letter A and called them Syrians and from that day Assyria and Syria became too separate terms that meant the same thing, just to clarify people of Bilad Al Sham (Syria) were not all Arameans, there were Cannanites, Amorites, Nabateans and other ethnic groups who at that time all spoke a form of Aramaic, even the people of Bilad al Nahrain (Assyria, Babylon) and Bilad Fars (Persia) spoke Aramaic, some spoke it as a First Language and some as a Second language.
I always wanted to give something back for your amazing content. Thank you for giving me and thousand others of your fans this opportunity❤️ I hope the next time I look at your Patreon page I'll see 150k patrons! You're an amazing person and deserve to have all your fans as patrons! You make me feel proud as an Arab Lebanese. بالتوفيق, bonne chance, good luck, and 頑張ってくださいね！

Nonetheless, Damascus and now Aleppo are at the top in all sources I’ve seen, followed by Byblos and Jericho.
Others on the lists are: Sidon, Beirut, Argos (Greece), Plovdiv (Hungary).
They are followed by: Sousa (Iran), Erbil (Iraq) , Varanasi (India), Faiyum (Egypt) and Gaziantep (Turkey) - generally all considered over 6,000 y.o.
But Farid Attrash is Egyptian right?
@@rruma5204 Let us just say that we are (Byblos, Sidon, Aleppo, and Damascus) from the oldest continuously inhabitent cities. After all we are neighbors and have supported each others through hard times, wars, and battle historically, and even still to date.

Me and my brother love your page and it’s helped us understand our Lebanese roots while also making us laugh! I’m 100% Lebanese but would love to see a video on Palestine and Jordan, please!!
I know, I comment your Video too late. All I want to say, Iam deeply being touch by your perfect presentation and I feel blessed as a syrian and lebanese.
YES! MY COUNTRY!
I am Syrian origin and I live in UK. I greatly appreciate the valuable information you have provided on my country. Especially to shed light on the Syrian civilization and the past that we are proud of instead of the sad present. Xxxxx
Big love to the nearest country to iraq 🇮🇶 ❤️ syria 🇸🇾 ❤️hope the peace sit in this great country soon
Syria and Iraq must be one country again
Being of half Lebanese and half Syrian descent, I have really enjoyed these past two Arab Facts videos you've created. Every country you cover is limited to a broad overview that relates to people with no to some to a lot of background knowledge. Any content left out is a chance for someone to add more content in the comments to further each video. You did a wonderful job of presenting both countries, and I'm excited for the rest of the series!
Thank you, Mark 🇱🇧❤🇸🇾
Thank you for sharing

Thanks Mark My respect to you
looking forward to the Jordanian episode
I was lucky to visit Syria twice before the war began. Wonderful place and people. Thank you Mark for this great review of this underrated country.
One thing....
The Name "Syria" came not from the the "Assuria"! It's a greek term for the word "Aram".
Also in the Septuagint and other Greek scripture there are also the Arameans called as "Syriacs"!
You are wrong buddy Syria did indeed come from Assyria the Greeks called Bilad Al Sham (Syria) because most of its people were considered Assyrians to the Greeks, but because the people of Bilad al Sham did not consider themselves Assyrians the Greeks dropped the letter A and called them Syrians and from that day Assyria and Syria became too separate terms that meant the same thing, just to clarify people of Bilad Al Sham (Syria) were not all Arameans, there were Cannanites, Amorites, Nabateans and other ethnic groups who at that time all spoke a form of Aramaic, even the people of Bilad al Nahrain (Assyria, Babylon) and Bilad Fars (Persia) spoke Aramaic, some spoke it as a First Language and some as a Second language.
Comes from India “Surya” which means Sun
