THEY WERE NOT EUROPEANS BUT FROM THE LEVANT MIDDLE EAST SEMITIC or related to EGYPTIANS to PERSIANS, genetic research even shows early Minoans & Etruscans were migrating TURKIC peoples into east southeast Europe Mediterranean. They just sailed EVERYWHERE thru the Mediterranean into Coasts of Africa into Britain & India
Great video as always. But at about 30:30, I think you made a mistake when you said Scholars suggest that the "Sea Peoples colluded with or paid off the invaders". Instead of "Sea People's I think you meant the Phoenicians?
Bro, I'm only 3 mins into the video and can already tell the quality is impeccable. Then I noticed the complete lack of adverts throughout... you sir are a legend
@@hatimaheddar2411 there are no adverts in this video so what you say makes no sense and I don't think you even read my comment. I thank the creator of this channel for making the video free to watch. I will not be thanking advertisers for anything ever.
This was evidently written by Cy of 'History by Cy'. The writing is great, but be very happy it is available here. Cy has excellent material, but about two minutes of commercials every fifteen minutes throughout.
I’ve been reading through Samuel, Kings and Chronicles and remember them talking about building ships and sailing from Tyre but I never knew the link to the Phoenicians! I love it when I get “the bigger picture”.
Pythagoras means 'Heart of the Serpent', he was born in Sidon, a fishing Port in Phoenicia. His mother received a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi that he would become a great Leader & Teacher. Sidon means 'Kingdom of the Fish', & the Essenes, who wrote the Dead Sea scrolls, worshipped Pythagoras. The Sarcophagus of Eshmun III found in Sidon names him as the 'Widow's Scion', aka Hiram Abiff, Founder of Freemasonry, of which Tyre was the premier Capital (at least equal to Thebes). In 911BC Rameses II married the Queen of Sidon, home of Jezebel (Daughter or consort of Baal, ie "Queen") founding Neo Assyrian Babylon, an alliance between Egypt & Hiram, Father of Jezebel, & King of Assyria; forming the Phoenician colonies, & building the Temple of Melqart to commemorate their alliance. The Si in Sidon is the basis of the Latin Exe, or X, and is the basis of the Cross, or Chi Rho that Constantine painted on his shields. Also known as the Cross of Tyre, or Cross of Baal, being Ra-El, or Ba'El. Using Euler's number to map irrational numbers also produces a Templar Cross: ie where Eclipses are most likely to occur, called the 'Saros' Cycle. This cross can also be seen around the neck of Nimrod in Assyria, consistent with the Union Jack, & Solstice Calendar found in the Vatican's Shiva Lingam. Shiva is the Hebrew word for 7, & their culture also found its way to Korea & Japan (via the Philippines) ultimately becoming Shintoism. It was the Phoenicians who gave their name to the Pole Star, _Phoenice,_ which they used to Navigate the Oceans using the Zodiac, that's what the Antikythera mechanism was for, & with it they wrote the Byblos Baal; what we now call the Bible. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC & called 'Vaticanus Graecus', or 'Son of the Sacred Serpent', ie Sirius, the basis of the Sothic Calendar, which uses a Hex Decimal & base 60 system found in all Megalithic sites around the world. In the second century AD the Astronomer Valentinus Vettori transcribed it into a Lunar chart of 13 houses, what we now call the Zodiac. Horoscope means 'Star Watcher', or 'Time Keeper' & the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, was *_Israel_* or _El,_ (Fruit) of Isis (Ishtar) & (Amin) Ra. Equally El is the 'Father' of Ra the Sun, & Consort of Isis the Earth Mother, ergo _'El Ptah'_ is the *Moon* or Set, the Stranger. Phoenicia was the interim between Egypt & Greece, with artisans & culture exceeding that of the Greeks, whom literally adopted the Phoenician Alphabet, which we still use to this day; sounding out words phonetically. 'Phoenician' is alliterated in 'Venetian', & 'Vikings', being Kings of the Sea, [Sea Pharoahs] El is the primary God of the Phoenicians, representing the offspring of Egypt, & his consort Astarte or Ishtar represents the Assyrian half of the alliance. Such lineages & alliances can be traced (through the naming of gods) to Ireland & the Vikings, Indonesia, the Americas; even as far away as Australia, & New Zealand. It denotes Sirius as 'Son' of Orion & Pleiades, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The basis of the Sothic (Seth) Decan Calendar of the Egyptians. The New Moon in this position marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Celtic, Phoenician, & Assyrian New Year, with the first New Moon of September, so called as it's the 7th House of the Zodiac, when the Sun is in Ophuichus. 'Phoenix', 'Benben', or 'Bennu', is Egyptian for 'Heron', or Feathered 'Serpent'. It baptised itself in frankincense & myrrh at Baalbek, then alights atop the Great Pyramid, upon the Holy Grail, or Altar of Ra, every 630 years to take three days off the calendar; during the course of the first New Moon of Nisan, which means 'Prince'. The Capstone of Pyramids is even called the Benben or Bennu. The Phoenix is found in all religions, which are all Astrological Allegory for the Moon traversing the Constellations as a soul migrating from body to body. Thus is the basis of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, or 'Hero's Journey' with the cycles & orbits of the planets serving as portents, omens, allies, etc. Thus Astrology was the Science of the Bronze Age & Reincarnation was the early teaching of the Gnostic Christian Church, & relates to the lineage of Kings: "The Pan is Dead! _Long live Pan!"_ The Bennu is the Egyptian Phoenix, to Phoenicians the Hoyle, Etruscans saw birds as sacred too, as did Celts, & Picts. Hebrew & Iberia have the same root; meaning _'over'_ ie _'overseas'_ or 'those [whom travel] over [the] sea'. A colony called Iberia also appeared on the Eastern shores of the Black Sea, with the same Dolmen & Megalithic culture originating in Ireland and Brittany circa 4500BC. _Phoenician_ means 'Scion of the Phoenix', the first Bible: Vaticanus Graecus; 'Scion of the Sacred Serpent' (Prince). Then there's the Essenes; :Sons of Light', the Tuatha De Danaan; Sons of Light, Anunnaki; Sons of Light, Arthur Pendragon; Arthur [Thor] 'Son of the Dragon'. Chertoff is Russian for "Son of the Devil" & Dracula also means 'Scion of the Dragon'. Masons call themselves the "Brotherhood of the Great White Serpent", & the Ziggurat of Anu denotes her as a great white Serpent too, while at New Grange & the Bru na Boinne, Ireland (4000BC) the white quartz ramparts also denote the Moon. The Moon itself travels either side of the Solar Elliptic by 5 degrees through specific constellations in a serpentine fashion that is always changing, but repeats every 19 years, the time it took to train a Druid or Magi, Magi meaning 'Teacher'. The Phoenix is also associated with this sacred number 19. "Pharoah" means 'Great House' or 'House of Light' & Cairo used to be called Babel. Pharaohs were called 'Commander in Chief' & wore a hooded crown representing feathers, as do Native American Chiefs, ie the Feathered Serpent. Aztecs also had 'Serpent Kings', (Canaan means Serpent Kings, & Sidon was a Son of Canaan & Great Grandson of Noah) who were called to lead with "cunning & guile" being the virtue of their "right to rule"; being seen as "just" in public, while shrewd in private. "As wise as Serpents, (while appearing as) _gentle_ as Doves." The old Egyptian flag of an Eagle holding a Snake is also reflected in the Modern Mexican flag, denoting the Constellations of Serpentis (13th sign of the Zodiac) and Aquila. The dimensions & 12 mathematical constants of the Great Pyramid are also found in New Grange, & Stonehenge, as well as in Watson Brake, (2500BC) & Teotihuacan, which correlates to the Phoenician/ Sumerian Seximal system, which is what our modern systems of time are based on, unlocking a fractal pattern reflected in the musical chord, electrical resistance, relative Planetary orbits, indeed; throughout _all_ creation. Officially no one knows who invented Astrology, the Zodiac, navigation by the stars, or time keeping. But whoever built the pyramids, & pioneered the 24hr clock in Egypt 5000 years ago already knew the exact dimensions of the Earth, & the speed of light. Because these can all be calculated using these Megalithic sites as a Surveyor use a Theodolite. Specifically at Teotihuacan; 230 degrees opposite Cairo, & with the exact same footprint. The ideal positions to determine the speed of light using the transit of Venus, allowing for accurate Longitude for Maritime navigation. Capt Cook did the same thing in 1774 when he 'discovered' Easter Island. The only culture that fits the bill was wiped out "not one stone upon the other" by the Romans in 146BC. Tyre, the capital of Phoenicia (Israel) sat just offshore from Ursu Salaam: City of the New Moon; City [or 'Rock'] of Peace; root of the name _'Jerusalem'_ & was also seized by Rome in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege. The gap between is 216 years (6x6x6). Greek Dionysians built the Temple of Solomon (now called the Temple of Melqart) representing the Solar Lunar (Solomonic) Metonic Calendar on which this system is based. They also carried mirrors, same as Magi, Druids, Greeks, & Egyptian scholars. These Mirrors are Astrological charts called 'Cycladic _Pans'_ & record the cycles of the planets. The first Temple of Melqart ( Phoenician Horus, Hercules, Pan, Thor) represents the 13th Constellation of Ophiuchus or 'Serpent Bearer' (hence Orphic Serpent worship) & had pillars of Emerald (Jasper) & Gold, ie Isis (Tree of Life) and Osiris (Tree of Knowledge). The Jerusalem Temple only took payment in "Shekels of Tyre" a currency minted during the Israelite rebellion against Rome, hence _"give that which is Caesar's unto Caesar"_ When Alexander sacked Tyre in 332BC they relocated to Carthage meaning "New City" or New Jerusalem, & built a second temple with Pillars of Bronze. Nebuchadnezzar also sieged Tyre for 13 years, taking the City captive in 573BC: the same time as the biblical account, & again the Romans in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege, also consistent with the same biblical accounts. Palaset was the name of a tribe of the Sea Peoples, Pallas _Set_ denotes the New Moon of Ammun Ra rising in Gemini, the *Pallas* Constellation of the Twins "that stand before Orion", due West of the Temple between the Gates [Pillars] of Gibraltar; "Gabriel's Altar", ie 'Pallas Stein', or Pallas Stone, 'Phallus' or Philosopher's Stone: the _"Rising Son"._ So 'Wormwood', like 'Tyre' means 'Bitter Rock', for the same reason; as the Son rising from the 'Bitter' [Salt or 'Black'] Sea of the Underworld; The 'Black Rock' or 'Gatestone' 🌑 The Cross of Tyre or Ba'El ❌ represents Lunar maximums & minimums & correlates with the Cross Quarter days of the Solstice Calendar. Align the Cross ❌ Chi Rho Christian ✝️ & Star 🔯 to the Zodiac, & you have a Compass & Timepiece that correlates to the Nautical Mile; allowing for global Maritime navigation. It is in fact an Astrological allegory for a Sothic Metonic Saros Zodiac Calendar using Accusations in a Mirror 🪞 *A Phoenix **_Cypher_*
There was an ancient Phoenician writer called Sanchioniathon whose work has been lost but he was supposed to have been translated by Philo of Byblios - a writer of the Roman era whose work has also been lost.Had we still had both of these works we would have had a treasure trove of Phoenician religion,mythology,culture and lots more.
Many of their traditions are saved thru in ancient Greek tribes of Evoia and other islands, as Phoenicians were ancient Greek tribes as described by Plutarch.
I keep having to rewind and listen to what you had just said because my imagination kept pulling me away as you painting a picture. Not a bad thing at all I find your videos are the only content having me do this. Absolutely amazing stuff.
He may be epic but you've got a few good things going for you too Milo. Anyway this video was excellent. It's good to see you guys collaborating to produce awesome content. This one on the Phoenicians was awesome and I think I might just hop over to Miloville after it to check out what you've been up to recently. Best wishes for Christmas.
Dan Dan, With fuel prices increasing I look to Exodus 20, 10 Mitzvot & Exodus 21 as prayer as we learn how to maintain boatbuilding , rowing, painting, and sail I suppose settlements about 30 miles apart describe the world. Farther? Oil is only one way to travel. Neat how former British Navy man Mr. Beal chose a Lebanese boat for his long voyage . What's a typical Lebanese breakfast ?
Hi Robert, breakfast eggs bit lamb salt pepper. Blend scrambled. Warm flat Lebanese bread 🍞. Lebanese call our daily food meza mixed wholesome foods . As well as Home food home cooked on fire stove . Much that not sold over counter these days. All natural beautiful. Thx for asking.
I don't think have words to express how much appreciation I have for such hard and amazing work. I love all things history and this channel has brought me hours of excellent content.
Better than anything on The History Channel. I always have to remind myself that these documentaries were made by a UA-cam Team. They are of such high quality, that one would be forgiven for thinking that they were made with a huge budget.
History channel is a disgrace to its own name, just shitty tv shows like pawn stars and storage wars and conspiracy theory bullshit like alien nazis and shit, absolutely fuck all to do with history these days.
The 2 hour documentary on the Sea Peoples was amazing and very interesting. Thanks for such a wonderful production! Looking forward to finishing the second half of this video on the Phoenicians! I am learning so much from your videos! Thank you! God bless you!

Pete, I love your documentaries. At the same time they are the best way to fall sleep when I have insomnia... not because they are boring but your voice; it's so hypnotizing, same with your brother's channel
Thanks but I love human history the true history of mankind so I take what I know as truth and reject his story until the full truth is told that where ever they find acient culture and great building and foundations they also found black people ruling great kingdoms and where eliminated and plundered the truth is it's all stolen legacy fortunately we have survived and our scholars of the black and brown people are reclaiming our true history which is the true history of mankind I guess that is why it's time to reset shameless one love one humanity all out of mama Africa 🙏🦁🌴❤️
So I went to bed after reading about the phoenician settlement in modern day marseille and I woke up to this video being posted. Thanks Internet! You did it again.
@@innosanto Well, both were originally serpent seed families, *maritime people,* and the sea peoples, descended from Japheth, that are presently some of the royal world overlords. It is the reason why USA fed and state use _maritime law_ as the judicial system, for example. This allows them to make a play on words they use all the time bcuz the elite are master illusionists!
@@redshadow4146 Yes, Phoenicians aren't Human. However, most Humans are part snake (royalty or blue bloods). Like myself. The Phonesians are the same as Phrygians who are Japhetite. Serpent seed.
This is maybe your best documentary to date, so interesting so atmospheric, and Phoenicians were so interesting group of people, i am not suprised Cy also worked on this documenary
Hey quick question. I have always wondered if the lebanese are the direct descendands of the phoenicians. Is this true, or have been the phoenicians erased from the world?
@@Veriox22 it's a complex question as most Lebanese these days identify as Arabs and believe some family oral traditions claiming a Yemeni origin origin. However modern DNA testing has basically debunked all those stories and has shown that most of our genepool is indigenous, directly descended from the older Semitic peoples (Phoenicians/Canaanites, Israelites, Arameans etc) that lived in the region.
@@alfredosauce1 I am glad to hear that. I find it really interesting how, despite all these centuries, the phoenicians have kept their genes and despite their religion, they are able to identify as phoenicians. Glad to see they are not extinct like the sumerians, babylonians, etc.
Forgive me if this is too personal a question, but... as you mention Christmas (& some accurate insights regarding the ancestry of the region), I am curious if you are currently living in Lebanon and practicing Christmas in a religious context (as a Christian), or just in the sort of "generic" and "commercial" sense that has become dominant here in the US? Happy holidays, everyone! ♥️
@@alfredosauce1 way I see it, most Lebanese are Arabs in that they're culturally Arabs. The Arab world contains hundreds of millions of people, the vast majority of those people aren't directly descended from Bedouins, they can't be as the Bedouins dwarfed in numbers compared to their neighbours. I believe allot of cultural integration went off to form the modern Arab world, it's not a single homogeneous nation but a cultural one.
Outstanding video, historically correct, brilliantly researched, objective and empirical! Congratulations on such a fine production of literary, historical and visual art.
As do I, mostly. Israel was there. That IS history. History must be taught, yes. Honestly, and our host Is Not Dishonest. Why? The truth will set you free
As a history nerd I love your videos! Hopefully there will be subtitles someday since english is not my native language and I find it easier to read and listen than to just listen. But that does not make it less enjoyable. Your work is incredible! :)
The only option is the auto-generated kind. Those are prone to making mistakes, but the real problem is how they’re presented. With normal subtitles words appear in groups, so usually about 7(ish) words are visible. This lets people read ahead, making them aware of what to listen for, and it’s less jarring to read a phrase at a time. Auto-generated gives a word at a time. As it’s spoken. It’s disjointed and makes it hard to focus on the video.
You a nerd to pursue knowledge it makes watching movies under words in a song overall gives a more ability to enjoy something if one has basic knowledge of it
Great documentary, well researched, beautifully and professionally presented. I tremendously enjoyed watching it. Knowing the history of a region gives a lot of insight into the present, having in mind how the levant is still suffering regional influences in present day. Well done and thanks for publishing. Just a little comment on the photography used of Phoenician land/ Lebanon, I could not recognise the scenery utilised.
I love your videos. I especially like the maps with the place names on them. I have a hard time just looking at shapes with no labels and trying to decipher if the white is land or sea. I am learning though to recognize some shapes of islands or countries though difficult. Thanks for the excellent videos. I am 73 and a widow. My late husband was excellent at history and geography. Me, not so much, though I am interested more and more after watching your work. God bless you!
There just isn't a whole lot of literature on them. Most docs on the Phoenicians seem to just circle the question of child sacrifice because there is alot of archeological evidence to dive into on that front. Totally sucks tho. Seeing that photo in this vid of those ruined shipyards made my head spin. We will never really know who these dudes were unless there is some hidden cache of miraculously preserved papyrus somewhere.
A lot of their history was destroyed by the early Christians when they burned down the Library at Alexandria. They wanted to erase the culture which invented their god so they could claim to have invented him.
@@havable wrong, Christians weren't even at the time. The romans after the death of Julius Cesar (48 B.C.) were the ones who destroyed/ burned Alexandria Library which was against their beliefs since they were polytheist and Christians were persecuted by the romans before their conversion the Christianism.
Amazing content, i'm usually not a fan of long video like this, but i have to admit that the ones i watched from you totally took me over and i'll gladly watch more. Good holidays to you people.
Very entertaining , thanks . Cornwall was almost my second home , Tintagel , exciting . My father spent time on Cyprus , often snorkeling just off the beach . Finding various artefacts , kept them in his garden . When taking on piece to the museum , had it confiscated , deemed a 'National Treasure ' . However , I did acquire the top of an urn , with one complete handle , and an opening of about 90 mm . While now living in the south east coast of South Africa , there was a find a few years ago that hinted about ancient travelers passing the coast , or coming to grief !
This guy is absolutely brilliant, with knowledge (and research, and photography, and narrative) beyond compare. It's simply the very best content to be found anywhere -- including on UA-cam.
It’s somewhat interesting to have such smart ancestors. I come from Lebanon and I visited Sidon, Tyre and Byblos multiples times. Crazy that all these amazing things happened just where I live. I’m so thankful that you created this documentary as it did indeed surprise me that Phoenicians went all the way to Britain. This small part isn’t mentioned in our history books btw 😅 It’s just so sad that there isn’t much written about their culture and the interesting part is that they didn’t call themselves Phoenicians but the Greeks called them that way. You made me also interested to go and visit Carthage!!
it is really interesting! I'm from Lebanon too and I feel so attached to my history and I would like to know who really were our distant ancestors! It is likely that much of the Phoenician population migrated to Carthage and other colonies following some conquests, but that doesn't really mean that all Phoenicians migrated from their land, e.g. Lebanon! Also DNA testing has linked this ancient culture directly with the people still living around Tyre, in Lebanon. super interesting!
Beautiful History and beautiful civilizations molded our wonderful World. I love places like this. Too bad we never stop having wars since the beginning of times. The World would’ve been the greatest place on Earth. Amazing nature.🌟💫
the modern Lebanese person has nothing to do with the phoenicians, for they have all been slaughtered and sold into slavery by the babylonians, hellenics and by the hundreds of foreign empires that invaded and settled this land. The last phoenicians standing were in carthage and its colonies before they too were slaughtered and sold into slavery by the romans. So you are a hot soup of greek, arabic, turkic and canaanite ancestry, not phoenician
When my favorite channel advertises other UA-cam channels like Stefan Milo and History with Cy, which I'm already subscribed to, I can't help but immediately subscribe to The Histocrat aswell! Never heard of that channel, but it's already approved !!
I enjoy your narration style @HistoryTime ! The documentaries on the Arab dynasties is some of the best content on youtube! My only wish is a video on Baibars Sultan of Egypt by you! Keep up the amazing work!
@@mikeday4506 so are we to believe that they were playing with DNA all those centuries ago? If not how did they take their DNA? Now I'm both confused, and interested!
I always enjoy your documentaries. Your voice is the cherry on top. And although the background music is pleasant, it would be nice if the volume was turned down just a notch. Ty so much.
Hey thank you for your videos. I can only imagine the work that goes into them. And still, you have some of the best content. Proud to support you man. And thanks for what you don
Love your videos so much! Would love to maybe see a video about the Norwegian civil war era since it isn’t a time period that has gotten much attention
Brilliant. Excellent presentation. You narrated this fascinating part of history in a slow and clear manner, much appreciated. Good diction, pitch and pace. BRAVO!
The little snail, by accounts, was also harvested on Leros, an island further up the coast. Tyrian purple is not instantly recognized until oxidation takes place.
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched and understood with great clarity. What an awesome presentation. Im going to be binging for awhile. You got a new sub. Thanks 😊
The level of detail in your video's is outstanding. You have a pleasant voice, for me being a Dutch guy you have a pleasant accent to listen for long periods of times. The tempo of information bringing is also just right and the type of subjects you bring up is so goddamn interesting. Enough with the feather stocking. You have my like sir.
Hes Dutch? Ive watched literally all the video's and I never would have guessed. And Dutch is one of the hardest accents to get rid of in English :D Goeie videos man, je bent momenteel echt 1 van de top-gesciedenis kanalen.
Fantastic documentary, was excited to see what the next video would be on and this certainly didn't disappoint! Can't wait to see what you have planned for 2021 and hope you take a well earned break over the christmas/new year period. Much love from New Zealand
Thank you so much!! Your content is so packed with content you have my eyes glued to UA-cam for 1:03 hours at a time! And my full attention is quite a feat!
@@HistoryTime You run a history channel but you haven't been to Crete yet??? you can take a speed ferry directly from Athens, most people neglected the history in Rhodes
Herodotus also wrote about Phoenicians taking a voyage for a Egyptian king that circumnavigated all of Africa starting down the Red Sea down to Capetown and up the Atlantic coast and back through the Mediterranean. There were also Phoenician writings in South America and Brazil dumper tons of fill on top of a suspected Phoenician ship wreck at the Bay of Jars, so named due to amphorae washing ashore
I I heard the same thing about people from the Lavant sailing to the Americas. That’s fine lots of highly censored news in the USA like giants, and burial mounds to name only two. Thanks for sharing what you know happened in Brazil
The famous periplus of the African continent by the Phoenicians. And yet the Egyptians never managed this feat. Unlike so many city-states, the Phoenicians were not taken down by the sea peoples. Maybe that's because they were already advanced navigators as were the earlier Minoans.
One amazing thing about the Phoenician abjad is that, with the exception of some far-eastern and african writing systems as well as the Inuit syllabary, all modern-day writing systems are either descended from it or, as in the case of the Ge'ez abugida of Ethiopia and Eritrea, somewhat related to it.
They weren't talking about theories, which lack evidence to stand up to question. While it is speculated, for instance, about the inuit, we cannot actually prove that they even met, and even had they, it would have been the people who predates the inuit people(btw) not the inuit people themselves. If your going to reference theories please read up on them. Even a google search shows that info in first result. (I checked)
It is more likely the fact our brains recognize patterns created a similar one, or that the neanderthals and other such pre humans that make up our genetics, had a language and perhaps writing at some point and both could have had shared ideas of such that passed down even without contact. One theory is just as outlandish as the other. We need evidence. Not wishful thinking and theories. Evidence. Carbon dated hold it in your hands evidence. The things I said are just as outlandish as the theory you talked about and just as unproven. Possible. Especially given we have proven they at least did have the understanding to do cave drawings etc, and there is theories about more but again... It could be a remnant. Like how hobits and dwarves and all the things imagined in popular fiction reflect quite stunningly people that not only pre dated humans as we exist, but are what eventually resulted in us via mixing with one another. An argument for cell memory could be made. There is more evidence we are related to trees(they actually found where we share dna with trees) than there is that the inuits and Phoenicians ever even met. Just because someone wants it to be true doesn't make it so. It's actually very interesting. Remember. A theory means something is unproven. It doesn't mean it true just because you like it or it's popular for being what a lot of people want to hear. Facts don't care about our feelings. They simply exist. This said. History and anthropology gets very interesting. Actually kiddo often watches stuff that gets into evolution and science otherwise with me and I've my own theory based on what we know- like what of no idea is a new idea? What if it's all in our dna?
Great content as always Mr. Pete! Your channel is one of my absolute favorites these days. It's always great to see new stuff from you in my feed. Take care & happy holidays man!

I did a presentation on the Phoenicians for my Masonic lodge a couple of years ago. Their cultural motto was 'make money, not war', which for the Bronze Age Near East was a remarkable thing. Imagine being in a coastal village in southern Gaul. You see a squad of ships sailing in your direction, and immediately prepare the defenses. Then they get closer and you realize, 'oh thank Toutatis, it's Phoenicians.' They're not going to sack your town and kidnap your families, they're just going to sell you dyed cloth, fine glassware and other luxury goods.
i was a flower child back in the 20th century. our motto was 'make love, not war' for all of us living in our dawning Age of Aquarius THAT was a remarkable thing ;-)
Crazy, my family found out in recent years that my Father's ancestors were Phoenician mariners who shipwrecked along the Norway coast and banded together with other groups and migrated south, fought for William The Conquerer, and later were given land in Antrim, Ireland. Before genetics, and research, we knew so little.
@@paulduffy4585 the Normans, didn't give, they took. The Hiberno-Normans were disposed of that land centuries later by the plantations and later Cromwell.
I live in Plymouth ,Devon and was told The Phoenicians had visited our city in the past .So I was so happy to find your wonderful video on these amazing people .Many Thanks 😊.
There are a number of errors in this video. The most painfully obvious is the claim that Carthage was completely destroyed and the earth salted at the end of the second Punic war. In fact, Carthage continued to exist as a colony of Rome for some time, and was the center of the agricultural industry of Rome in Northern Africa. So it was not completely destroyed, and its earth was not salted, but instead was rebuilt and continued to be used to produce wheat for another eight centuries. In fact, it was conquered by the Vandals, under Gaiseric, in the 4th century AD, who held it for about a century before the Eastern Roman empire took it back, holding it for another century. It was finally destroyed completely by the Umayyad empire, almost a millennium after your video says it was. It's the Umayyads who reduced its lands to such a condition (probably without salt) that the area was abandoned completely. Earlier, it is stated in the video that the Sea Peoples colluded with, or paid off, the Sea Peoples. Probably one of those two should've been the Phoenicians.
Loved the sponsor intro. True Monty Python, Mate. This is a tragic tale, to be sure, but these peoples, and their culture, live on to this day. In homeschooling my young daughter, I teach her of "phonetics" to learn how words are sounded out and spelled. Even some 4000 years after the fact, this culture still has a lasting impact. Thank you for this episode of history!!
I was gobsmacked. I watch a LOT of documentaries in English and German, some DIY others produced by professionals. Yours I assumed was in the latter category due to the top-notch presentation. That 'lunch' moment in your boxers was such a surprise and hilarious. If not for that + self-promos later on I'd have been none the wiser. You also have an excellent broadcasting voice in tandem with the quality research + graphics. The town name 'Biblos' means book in Greek which fits in with the town's history. Of course when people talk about outsiders 'visiting' these shores there is more to it than that. Like me an average swarthy South West Walean working in Leicester and discovering every Brit local there was 2 inches taller, eventually working out they're all of Danish stock given local place names and a map of the Danelaw boundary found in a history book. So in the same way Phoenicians colonised certain coastal areas way back when and left a sizable genetic footprint which endures to the present day. Cornwall as you suggest.There is a UA-cam documentary on the Phoenician legacy in Ireland and separate to that I note quite a few indigenous dark Irish playing for their national rugby side suggesting ancient settlers from the Med. Same here in Llanelli, west Wales - where tin was mined, for which the town was renowned, to the extent that the local TV production company calls itself 'Tinopolis'.

Very informative and well done. Thank you for making this video. I'm especfially interested in the relation between Fenicians and Venice and later Rotterdam and now London as the financial powerhouses that mostly rule Europe and the world nowadays. Looking forward to information on that. Cheers.

At 53:39 you mention Alexander making sacrifice to Herakles instead of local Gods after the siege of Tyre. However, it should be mentioned that since at least 600 BCE, Herakles was very often conflated with the patron god of Tyre itself, Melqart, to the point of being interchangeable.
Apparently Alexander asked to make a sacrifice at New Tyre, but the Phoenicians refused because if they let him they would be acknowledging him as their overlord or something like that. They said he could make a sacrifice at old Tyre on the mainland. Alexander apparently flew into a rage and told them that they shouldn't feel so confident behind the high walls of new Tyre because it would soon become part of the mainland. So he started the siege of new Tyre by having his army knock down all of the structures of old Tyre and start building palisade out to new Tyre. They had some setbacks but they eventually made it out there and the city gave in. Over the centuries the sediment started building up around that palisade and eventually connected everything to the mainland. You can still see the remnants of that palisade or (bridge) that the Alexander's army built in satellite photos.
Bit of trivia, Sherlock Holmes is investigating the Phoenician-Cornish connection while on vacation in Cornwall in The Adventure Of The Devil's Foot. Not unlike the way most of us spend our vacations, I'd bet.
@ToaLeviFilms - Not a conventional take on the Skraelings, but I suppose a ponderable one. Personally I'm willing to believe the Phoenicians went practically everywhere lol.
@@Gorboduc Crossing the Pillars of Hercules (Atlantic) was only by permission of the Phoenicians, and they were the only ones allowed passed Pillars of Hercules, before the Punic wars. As you can imagine, they went above and beyond keeping it a secret for centuries.
I'm impressed with your pronunciation of words in Gaeilge, I've heard some awful attempts in my time so it was refreshing to hear that that's another area you researched very well. Go raibh maith agat/thank you. 🇮🇪
The Phoenicians had ties to both Cyprus (named after copper) and Britannia (named after tin). Thus they were in a position to be in control of the ingredients of bronze. The Cornish pasty was invented because the tin miners' hands were covered with ore dust, which was toxic (arsenic was co-located with tin ore).. Miners could hold the pasty by its thick crust (contaminated by the dust on miners' hands) which they would discard after consuming the bulk of the item.
Have visited Beirut. Thank you for showing me more artwork from this period. Pre-Alexander. It is astounding. Fine Art, over centuries, has become refined but not better. I saw figures in stone which grabbed my soul. Never forgotten. Unknown date, unknown artist.

They just sailed EVERYWHERE thru the Mediterranean into Coasts of Africa into Britain & India
Great video as always. But at about 30:30, I think you made a mistake when you said Scholars suggest that the "Sea Peoples colluded with or paid off the invaders". Instead of "Sea People's I think you meant the Phoenicians?

I’ve been reading through Samuel, Kings and Chronicles and remember them talking about building ships and sailing from Tyre but I never knew the link to the Phoenicians! I love it when I get “the bigger picture”.
yea, it was the Kanaanites - Amorites that built the first Babylon.
Check put the Chaldeans... in biblical sense. Read the book of Yasher
Pythagoras means 'Heart of the Serpent', he was born in Sidon, a fishing Port in Phoenicia. His mother received a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi that he would become a great Leader & Teacher. Sidon means 'Kingdom of the Fish', & the Essenes, who wrote the Dead Sea scrolls, worshipped Pythagoras. The Sarcophagus of Eshmun III found in Sidon names him as the 'Widow's Scion', aka Hiram Abiff, Founder of Freemasonry, of which Tyre was the premier Capital (at least equal to Thebes).
In 911BC Rameses II married the Queen of Sidon, home of Jezebel (Daughter or consort of Baal, ie "Queen") founding Neo Assyrian Babylon, an alliance between Egypt & Hiram, Father of Jezebel, & King of Assyria; forming the Phoenician colonies, & building the Temple of Melqart to commemorate their alliance.
The Si in Sidon is the basis of the Latin Exe, or X, and is the basis of the Cross, or Chi Rho that Constantine painted on his shields. Also known as the Cross of Tyre, or Cross of Baal, being Ra-El, or Ba'El. Using Euler's number to map irrational numbers also produces a Templar Cross: ie where Eclipses are most likely to occur, called the 'Saros' Cycle. This cross can also be seen around the neck of Nimrod in Assyria, consistent with the Union Jack, & Solstice Calendar found in the Vatican's Shiva Lingam. Shiva is the Hebrew word for 7, & their culture also found its way to Korea & Japan (via the Philippines) ultimately becoming Shintoism.
It was the Phoenicians who gave their name to the Pole Star, _Phoenice,_ which they used to Navigate the Oceans using the Zodiac, that's what the Antikythera mechanism was for, & with it they wrote the Byblos Baal; what we now call the Bible. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC & called 'Vaticanus Graecus', or 'Son of the Sacred Serpent', ie Sirius, the basis of the Sothic Calendar, which uses a Hex Decimal & base 60 system found in all Megalithic sites around the world.
In the second century AD the Astronomer Valentinus Vettori transcribed it into a Lunar chart of 13 houses, what we now call the Zodiac. Horoscope means 'Star Watcher', or 'Time Keeper' & the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, was *_Israel_* or _El,_ (Fruit) of Isis (Ishtar) & (Amin) Ra. Equally El is the 'Father' of Ra the Sun, & Consort of Isis the Earth Mother, ergo _'El Ptah'_ is the *Moon* or Set, the Stranger.
Phoenicia was the interim between Egypt & Greece, with artisans & culture exceeding that of the Greeks, whom literally adopted the Phoenician Alphabet, which we still use to this day; sounding out words phonetically. 'Phoenician' is alliterated in 'Venetian', & 'Vikings', being Kings of the Sea, [Sea Pharoahs]
El is the primary God of the Phoenicians, representing the offspring of Egypt, & his consort Astarte or Ishtar represents the Assyrian half of the alliance. Such lineages & alliances can be traced (through the naming of gods) to Ireland & the Vikings, Indonesia, the Americas; even as far away as Australia, & New Zealand.
It denotes Sirius as 'Son' of Orion & Pleiades, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The basis of the Sothic (Seth) Decan Calendar of the Egyptians. The New Moon in this position marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Celtic, Phoenician, & Assyrian New Year, with the first New Moon of September, so called as it's the 7th House of the Zodiac, when the Sun is in Ophuichus.
'Phoenix', 'Benben', or 'Bennu', is Egyptian for 'Heron', or Feathered 'Serpent'. It baptised itself in frankincense & myrrh at Baalbek, then alights atop the Great Pyramid, upon the Holy Grail, or Altar of Ra, every 630 years to take three days off the calendar; during the course of the first New Moon of Nisan, which means 'Prince'. The Capstone of Pyramids is even called the Benben or Bennu.
The Phoenix is found in all religions, which are all Astrological Allegory for the Moon traversing the Constellations as a soul migrating from body to body. Thus is the basis of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, or 'Hero's Journey' with the cycles & orbits of the planets serving as portents, omens, allies, etc. Thus Astrology was the Science of the Bronze Age & Reincarnation was the early teaching of the Gnostic Christian Church, & relates to the lineage of Kings: "The Pan is Dead! _Long live Pan!"_
The Bennu is the Egyptian Phoenix, to Phoenicians the Hoyle, Etruscans saw birds as sacred too, as did Celts, & Picts. Hebrew & Iberia have the same root; meaning _'over'_ ie _'overseas'_ or 'those [whom travel] over [the] sea'. A colony called Iberia also appeared on the Eastern shores of the Black Sea, with the same Dolmen & Megalithic culture originating in Ireland and Brittany circa 4500BC.
_Phoenician_ means 'Scion of the Phoenix', the first Bible: Vaticanus Graecus; 'Scion of the Sacred Serpent' (Prince). Then there's the Essenes; :Sons of Light', the Tuatha De Danaan; Sons of Light, Anunnaki; Sons of Light, Arthur Pendragon; Arthur [Thor] 'Son of the Dragon'. Chertoff is Russian for "Son of the Devil" & Dracula also means 'Scion of the Dragon'. Masons call themselves the "Brotherhood of the Great White Serpent", & the Ziggurat of Anu denotes her as a great white Serpent too, while at New Grange & the Bru na Boinne, Ireland (4000BC) the white quartz ramparts also denote the Moon. The Moon itself travels either side of the Solar Elliptic by 5 degrees through specific constellations in a serpentine fashion that is always changing, but repeats every 19 years, the time it took to train a Druid or Magi, Magi meaning 'Teacher'. The Phoenix is also associated with this sacred number 19.
"Pharoah" means 'Great House' or 'House of Light' & Cairo used to be called Babel. Pharaohs were called 'Commander in Chief' & wore a hooded crown representing feathers, as do Native American Chiefs, ie the Feathered Serpent. Aztecs also had 'Serpent Kings', (Canaan means Serpent Kings, & Sidon was a Son of Canaan & Great Grandson of Noah) who were called to lead with "cunning & guile" being the virtue of their "right to rule"; being seen as "just" in public, while shrewd in private. "As wise as Serpents, (while appearing as) _gentle_ as Doves." The old Egyptian flag of an Eagle holding a Snake is also reflected in the Modern Mexican flag, denoting the Constellations of Serpentis (13th sign of the Zodiac) and Aquila.
The dimensions & 12 mathematical constants of the Great Pyramid are also found in New Grange, & Stonehenge, as well as in Watson Brake, (2500BC) & Teotihuacan, which correlates to the Phoenician/ Sumerian Seximal system, which is what our modern systems of time are based on, unlocking a fractal pattern reflected in the musical chord, electrical resistance, relative Planetary orbits, indeed; throughout _all_ creation.
Officially no one knows who invented Astrology, the Zodiac, navigation by the stars, or time keeping. But whoever built the pyramids, & pioneered the 24hr clock in Egypt 5000 years ago already knew the exact dimensions of the Earth, & the speed of light. Because these can all be calculated using these Megalithic sites as a Surveyor use a Theodolite. Specifically at Teotihuacan; 230 degrees opposite Cairo, & with the exact same footprint. The ideal positions to determine the speed of light using the transit of Venus, allowing for accurate Longitude for Maritime navigation. Capt Cook did the same thing in 1774 when he 'discovered' Easter Island.
The only culture that fits the bill was wiped out "not one stone upon the other" by the Romans in 146BC. Tyre, the capital of Phoenicia (Israel) sat just offshore from Ursu Salaam: City of the New Moon; City [or 'Rock'] of Peace; root of the name _'Jerusalem'_ & was also seized by Rome in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege. The gap between is 216 years (6x6x6).
Greek Dionysians built the Temple of Solomon (now called the Temple of Melqart) representing the Solar Lunar (Solomonic) Metonic Calendar on which this system is based. They also carried mirrors, same as Magi, Druids, Greeks, & Egyptian scholars. These Mirrors are Astrological charts called 'Cycladic _Pans'_ & record the cycles of the planets. The first Temple of Melqart ( Phoenician Horus, Hercules, Pan, Thor) represents the 13th Constellation of Ophiuchus or 'Serpent Bearer' (hence Orphic Serpent worship) & had pillars of Emerald (Jasper) & Gold, ie Isis (Tree of Life) and Osiris (Tree of Knowledge). The Jerusalem Temple only took payment in "Shekels of Tyre" a currency minted during the Israelite rebellion against Rome, hence _"give that which is Caesar's unto Caesar"_
When Alexander sacked Tyre in 332BC they relocated to Carthage meaning "New City" or New Jerusalem, & built a second temple with Pillars of Bronze. Nebuchadnezzar also sieged Tyre for 13 years, taking the City captive in 573BC: the same time as the biblical account, & again the Romans in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege, also consistent with the same biblical accounts.
Palaset was the name of a tribe of the Sea Peoples, Pallas _Set_ denotes the New Moon of Ammun Ra rising in Gemini, the *Pallas* Constellation of the Twins "that stand before Orion", due West of the Temple between the Gates [Pillars] of Gibraltar; "Gabriel's Altar", ie 'Pallas Stein', or Pallas Stone, 'Phallus' or Philosopher's Stone: the _"Rising Son"._ So 'Wormwood', like 'Tyre' means 'Bitter Rock', for the same reason; as the Son rising from the 'Bitter' [Salt or 'Black'] Sea of the Underworld; The 'Black Rock' or 'Gatestone' 🌑
The Cross of Tyre or Ba'El ❌ represents Lunar maximums & minimums & correlates with the Cross Quarter days of the Solstice Calendar. Align the Cross ❌ Chi Rho Christian ✝️ & Star 🔯 to the Zodiac, & you have a Compass & Timepiece that correlates to the Nautical Mile; allowing for global Maritime navigation.
It is in fact an Astrological allegory for a Sothic Metonic Saros Zodiac Calendar using Accusations in a Mirror 🪞
*A Phoenix **_Cypher_*
There was an ancient Phoenician writer called Sanchioniathon whose work has been lost but he was supposed to have been translated by Philo of Byblios - a writer of the Roman era whose work has also been lost.Had we still had both of these works we would have had a treasure trove of Phoenician religion,mythology,culture and lots more.
Almost like there a reason for that
Obviously they don't want to be found
I'm sure it will be found in the Vatican one day, along with Aristotle's Poetics Part Deux.
Many of their traditions are saved thru in ancient Greek tribes of Evoia and other islands, as Phoenicians were ancient Greek tribes as described by Plutarch.

Lebanese guy here, this is a nice early Christmas present. Thank you HT you are class.
Hey quick question. I have always wondered if the lebanese are the direct descendands of the phoenicians. Is this true, or have been the phoenicians erased from the world?
@@Veriox22 it's a complex question as most Lebanese these days identify as Arabs and believe some family oral traditions claiming a Yemeni origin origin. However modern DNA testing has basically debunked all those stories and has shown that most of our genepool is indigenous, directly descended from the older Semitic peoples (Phoenicians/Canaanites, Israelites, Arameans etc) that lived in the region.
@@alfredosauce1 I am glad to hear that. I find it really interesting how, despite all these centuries, the phoenicians have kept their genes and despite their religion, they are able to identify as phoenicians. Glad to see they are not extinct like the sumerians, babylonians, etc.
Forgive me if this is too personal a question, but... as you mention Christmas (& some accurate insights regarding the ancestry of the region), I am curious if you are currently living in Lebanon and practicing Christmas in a religious context (as a Christian), or just in the sort of "generic" and "commercial" sense that has become dominant here in the US?
Happy holidays, everyone! ♥️
@@alfredosauce1 way I see it, most Lebanese are Arabs in that they're culturally Arabs. The Arab world contains hundreds of millions of people, the vast majority of those people aren't directly descended from Bedouins, they can't be as the Bedouins dwarfed in numbers compared to their neighbours. I believe allot of cultural integration went off to form the modern Arab world, it's not a single homogeneous nation but a cultural one.

As a history nerd I love your videos!
Hopefully there will be subtitles someday since english is not my native language and I find it easier to read and listen than to just listen. But that does not make it less enjoyable. Your work is incredible! :)
U can turn subtitles on in ur settings!
The only option is the auto-generated kind. Those are prone to making mistakes, but the real problem is how they’re presented. With normal subtitles words appear in groups, so usually about 7(ish) words are visible. This lets people read ahead, making them aware of what to listen for, and it’s less jarring to read a phrase at a time. Auto-generated gives a word at a time. As it’s spoken. It’s disjointed and makes it hard to focus on the video.
There’s transcriptions which is the same thing as subtitles
It's amazing our alphabet is from ancient peoples from middle East it's amazing what we can learn from other cultures
You a nerd to pursue knowledge it makes watching movies under words in a song overall gives a more ability to enjoy something if one has basic knowledge of it
Great documentary, well researched, beautifully and professionally presented. I tremendously enjoyed watching it. Knowing the history of a region gives a lot of insight into the present, having in mind how the levant is still suffering regional influences in present day. Well done and thanks for publishing. Just a little comment on the photography used of Phoenician land/ Lebanon, I could not recognise the scenery utilised.
One of the best. I don't want to admit how many times I've researched and listened to the collection.
I love your videos. I especially like the maps with the place names on them. I have a hard time just looking at shapes with no labels and trying to decipher if the white is land or sea.

There just isn't a whole lot of literature on them.

When I saw some were 3 hours I thought omg I won’t watch all at once…. I did 👏👏👏👏👏 enthralling documentaries
Thanks
Very entertaining , thanks . Cornwall was almost my second home , Tintagel , exciting .
My father spent time on Cyprus , often snorkeling just off the beach . Finding various artefacts , kept them in his garden . When taking on piece to the museum , had it confiscated , deemed a 'National Treasure ' . However , I did acquire the top of an urn , with one complete handle , and an opening of about 90 mm . While now living in the south east coast of South Africa , there was a find a few years ago that hinted about ancient travelers passing the coast , or coming to grief !
This guy is absolutely brilliant, with knowledge (and research, and photography, and narrative) beyond compare. It's simply the very best content to be found anywhere -- including on UA-cam.

It’s somewhat interesting to have such smart ancestors. I come from Lebanon and I visited Sidon, Tyre and Byblos multiples times. Crazy that all these amazing things happened just where I live. I’m so thankful that you created this documentary as it did indeed surprise me that Phoenicians went all the way to Britain. This small part isn’t mentioned in our history books btw 😅 It’s just so sad that there isn’t much written about their culture and the interesting part is that they didn’t call themselves Phoenicians but the Greeks called them that way. You made me also interested to go and visit Carthage!!
it is really interesting! I'm from Lebanon too and I feel so attached to my history and I would like to know who really were our distant ancestors!
It is likely that much of the Phoenician population migrated to Carthage and other colonies following some conquests, but that doesn't really mean that all Phoenicians migrated from their land, e.g. Lebanon! Also DNA testing has linked this ancient culture directly with the people still living around Tyre, in Lebanon. super interesting!
Beautiful History and beautiful civilizations molded our wonderful World. I love places like this. Too bad we never stop having wars since the beginning of times. The World would’ve been the greatest place on Earth. Amazing nature.🌟💫
the modern Lebanese person has nothing to do with the phoenicians, for they have all been slaughtered and sold into slavery by the babylonians, hellenics and by the hundreds of foreign empires that invaded and settled this land. The last phoenicians standing were in carthage and its colonies before they too were slaughtered and sold into slavery by the romans. So you are a hot soup of greek, arabic, turkic and canaanite ancestry, not phoenician

Herodotus also wrote about Phoenicians taking a voyage for a Egyptian king that circumnavigated all of Africa starting down the Red Sea down to Capetown and up the Atlantic coast and back through the Mediterranean. There were also Phoenician writings in South America and Brazil dumper tons of fill on top of a suspected Phoenician ship wreck at the Bay of Jars, so named due to amphorae washing ashore
I heard that the same thing
I I heard the same thing about people from the Lavant sailing to the Americas.
That’s fine lots of highly censored news in the USA like giants, and burial mounds to name only two.
Thanks for sharing what you know happened in Brazil
The famous periplus of the African continent by the Phoenicians. And yet the Egyptians never managed this feat.
Unlike so many city-states, the Phoenicians were not taken down by the sea peoples. Maybe that's because they were already advanced navigators as were the earlier Minoans.
One amazing thing about the Phoenician abjad is that, with the exception of some far-eastern and african writing systems as well as the Inuit syllabary, all modern-day writing systems are either descended from it or, as in the case of the Ge'ez abugida of Ethiopia and Eritrea, somewhat related to it.
Yet the narrator failed to mention this.
@@icu4life240
Evidence based.
They weren't talking about theories, which lack evidence to stand up to question. While it is speculated, for instance, about the inuit, we cannot actually prove that they even met, and even had they, it would have been the people who predates the inuit people(btw) not the inuit people themselves. If your going to reference theories please read up on them. Even a google search shows that info in first result. (I checked)
It is more likely the fact our brains recognize patterns created a similar one, or that the neanderthals and other such pre humans that make up our genetics, had a language and perhaps writing at some point and both could have had shared ideas of such that passed down even without contact. One theory is just as outlandish as the other. We need evidence. Not wishful thinking and theories. Evidence. Carbon dated hold it in your hands evidence.
The things I said are just as outlandish as the theory you talked about and just as unproven. Possible. Especially given we have proven they at least did have the understanding to do cave drawings etc, and there is theories about more but again... It could be a remnant. Like how hobits and dwarves and all the things imagined in popular fiction reflect quite stunningly people that not only pre dated humans as we exist, but are what eventually resulted in us via mixing with one another.
An argument for cell memory could be made.
There is more evidence we are related to trees(they actually found where we share dna with trees) than there is that the inuits and Phoenicians ever even met.
Just because someone wants it to be true doesn't make it so.
It's actually very interesting. Remember. A theory means something is unproven. It doesn't mean it true just because you like it or it's popular for being what a lot of people want to hear. Facts don't care about our feelings. They simply exist.
This said. History and anthropology gets very interesting. Actually kiddo often watches stuff that gets into evolution and science otherwise with me and I've my own theory based on what we know- like what of no idea is a new idea? What if it's all in our dna?
Even wilder yet is the fact that the Phoenician adjab itself was ultimately descended from Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Great documentary. Very informative.. and it's free!!!

This is very interesting. I'll be watching more about the Phoenicians.
Enjoyed your video. I'll probably watch it more times to digest it as it has extensive content to put together.
I did a presentation on the Phoenicians for my Masonic lodge a couple of years ago. Their cultural motto was 'make money, not war', which for the Bronze Age Near East was a remarkable thing.
Imagine being in a coastal village in southern Gaul. You see a squad of ships sailing in your direction, and immediately prepare the defenses. Then they get closer and you realize, 'oh thank Toutatis, it's Phoenicians.' They're not going to sack your town and kidnap your families, they're just going to sell you dyed cloth, fine glassware and other luxury goods.
Robert Walker-Smith Yes, I like the Phoenicians. They must have had wise rulers. Thanks Toutatis for that!!!
i was a flower child back in the 20th century. our motto was 'make love, not war' for all of us living in our dawning Age of Aquarius THAT was a remarkable thing ;-)
Well most ancient world not really into waging war except persian and greeko roman
Toutatis is a fake god
You Belenus worshippers are so intolerant.
Crazy, my family found out in recent years that my Father's ancestors were Phoenician mariners who shipwrecked along the Norway coast and banded together with other groups and migrated south, fought for William The Conquerer, and later were given land in Antrim, Ireland. Before genetics, and research, we knew so little.

There are a number of errors in this video. The most painfully obvious is the claim that Carthage was completely destroyed and the earth salted at the end of the second Punic war. In fact, Carthage continued to exist as a colony of Rome for some time, and was the center of the agricultural industry of Rome in Northern Africa. So it was not completely destroyed, and its earth was not salted, but instead was rebuilt and continued to be used to produce wheat for another eight centuries.
In fact, it was conquered by the Vandals, under Gaiseric, in the 4th century AD, who held it for about a century before the Eastern Roman empire took it back, holding it for another century.
It was finally destroyed completely by the Umayyad empire, almost a millennium after your video says it was. It's the Umayyads who reduced its lands to such a condition (probably without salt) that the area was abandoned completely.
Earlier, it is stated in the video that the Sea Peoples colluded with, or paid off, the Sea Peoples. Probably one of those two should've been the Phoenicians.
Loved the sponsor intro. True Monty Python, Mate. This is a tragic tale, to be sure, but these peoples, and their culture, live on to this day. In homeschooling my young daughter, I teach her of "phonetics" to learn how words are sounded out and spelled. Even some 4000 years after the fact, this culture still has a lasting impact. Thank you for this episode of history!!
A perfect christmas gift. Thanks!
I was gobsmacked. I watch a LOT of documentaries in English and German, some DIY others produced by professionals. Yours I assumed was in the latter category due to the top-notch presentation. That 'lunch' moment in your boxers was such a surprise and hilarious. If not for that + self-promos later on I'd have been none the wiser. You also have an excellent broadcasting voice in tandem with the quality research + graphics. The town name 'Biblos' means book in Greek which fits in with the town's history.
Of course when people talk about outsiders 'visiting' these shores there is more to it than that. Like me an average swarthy South West Walean working in Leicester and discovering every Brit local there was 2 inches taller, eventually working out they're all of Danish stock given local place names and a map of the Danelaw boundary found in a history book. So in the same way Phoenicians colonised certain coastal areas way back when and left a sizable genetic footprint which endures to the present day. Cornwall as you suggest.There is a UA-cam documentary on the Phoenician legacy in Ireland and separate to that I note quite a few indigenous dark Irish playing for their national rugby side suggesting ancient settlers from the Med. Same here in Llanelli, west Wales - where tin was mined, for which the town was renowned, to the extent that the local TV production company calls itself 'Tinopolis'.
Bloody good documentary mate. Cheers from aussie land. 👍
Another very entertaining video. Thank you.

Amazing well done historical documentaries. I really enjoy watching these very professional and informative videos.
At 53:39 you mention Alexander making sacrifice to Herakles instead of local Gods after the siege of Tyre. However, it should be mentioned that since at least 600 BCE, Herakles was very often conflated with the patron god of Tyre itself, Melqart, to the point of being interchangeable.
Apparently Alexander asked to make a sacrifice at New Tyre, but the Phoenicians refused because if they let him they would be acknowledging him as their overlord or something like that. They said he could make a sacrifice at old Tyre on the mainland. Alexander apparently flew into a rage and told them that they shouldn't feel so confident behind the high walls of new Tyre because it would soon become part of the mainland. So he started the siege of new Tyre by having his army knock down all of the structures of old Tyre and start building palisade out to new Tyre. They had some setbacks but they eventually made it out there and the city gave in. Over the centuries the sediment started building up around that palisade and eventually connected everything to the mainland. You can still see the remnants of that palisade or (bridge) that the Alexander's army built in satellite photos.
Bit of trivia, Sherlock Holmes is investigating the Phoenician-Cornish connection while on vacation in Cornwall in The Adventure Of The Devil's Foot. Not unlike the way most of us spend our vacations, I'd bet.

@ToaLeviFilms - Not a conventional take on the Skraelings, but I suppose a ponderable one. Personally I'm willing to believe the Phoenicians went practically everywhere lol.
@@Gorboduc Crossing the Pillars of Hercules (Atlantic) was only by permission of the Phoenicians, and they were the only ones allowed passed Pillars of Hercules, before the Punic wars. As you can imagine, they went above and beyond keeping it a secret for centuries.
I'm impressed with your pronunciation of words in Gaeilge, I've heard some awful attempts in my time so it was refreshing to hear that that's another area you researched very well.

you got some serious skills boy........ thankyou for sharing them with us, brilliant work. :)
The Phoenicians had ties to both Cyprus (named after copper) and Britannia (named after tin). Thus they were in a position to be in control of the ingredients of bronze.
The Cornish pasty was invented because the tin miners' hands were covered with ore dust, which was toxic (arsenic was co-located with tin ore).. Miners could hold the pasty by its thick crust (contaminated by the dust on miners' hands) which they would discard after consuming the bulk of the item.
yep , i can confirm as im a proper janner meht. :)
That's bcuz they are all royals! These are the original tribes, or first part of the bloodlines, after the fall of the tower ...
One tin and one copper ore will make a bronze bar too.
