Phoenix was son of King Agenor of Tyre.Phoenix (Ancient Greek: Φοῖνιξ , gen.: Φοίνικος means "sun-red" crimson ) is the eponym of Phoenicia . Together with his brother Cadmos were tasked to find their abducted sister , Europa. Cadmos brought the idea of the letter, (one symbol for one sound), in Greece and thus the alphabet was created.

The theory that the Phoenicians had reached the Americas was NOT cast aside! It is still believed by some historians, and has not been discredited. It only lacks additional archaeological evidence, but there are lots of reasons to believe it happened. There are, for example, Greek accounts describing their voyage west of the Atlantic to previously unchartered "fertile soil."

There were Gaulic migrants in Anatolia during the Byzantine Empire’s golden age. There were also viking mercenaries in Greece (they even carved one if the Piraeus port’s lions statues with runes). In Central Asia there was a kingdom of Grecoindians called Bactria and apparently they made contact with the Chinese (they fought over horses). There was even a sect of Greek Buddhism or Hinduism (can’t remember which) in Southeast Asia. Templars of the Knight order under the Pope’s instructions were believed to have visited North America to hide the Holy Grail in an island near Canada. The vikings actually clashed with the native Americans in Vinland. The Japanese once travelled in Rome and were converted to Christianity. There was an ancient Greek vase in the middle of a dessert in South America (Argentina? I think). The African tribes of west Africa were believed to have made contact with European and Arab merchants far before the Portuguese or the Polos even mapped Africa. Also not to forget the African pirate invasions in India. I wonder if Caribbean pirates ever reached below Brazil.

Great video again. But there is one more ancient civilization that was as great as the rest. The ancient Tracians. As a matter of fact Spartacus was a tracian. They were famous with their goldsmiths. The tracians were lived in nowday Bulgaria. I am their proud descendant . Check for Panagyurishte Treasure, it is amazing, I have seen it with my own eyes. Waiting for the special video. 🥰🥰🥰
@@benjackson91 here I have to desagre with you about the Thracians being Greeks. They lived in different territory and had their own life style and culture. There are many survived items and places in the teritory of Bulgaria. But there is much research to be done and digging back in the time.
While the Phoenicians are often credited with the development of the alphabet, the evidence suggests that the alphabet itself evolved from Egyptian hieratics which itself was an evolution of the more complicated hieroglyphics. There are early signs of alphabetic writing which seem to be evolve from southern Canaan and make their way north to Phoenicia, where it was refined into the Phoenician alphabet.
Who really created what in early civilization? Considering that it always comes out later that certain discoveries were either adapted or evolved from an earlier culture. Isn’t cuneiform the oldest writing on record?
ElconTonyMontana Both Cuneiform and Egyptian Hieroglyphics are equally as old with no exact dates of their origin but estimates range from 5500-5200 years ago.
@Scott Kirk vocabulary has to do with language, which far far predates the advent of writing. Some say complex human language may have started as long as 70,000 years ago, way before any writing existed.
Phoenician was basically canaanite but it was more modern at the time i think. so basically the alphabet influence from the phoenicians was canaanite - also the phoenicians WERE canaanites lol.

The Phoenicians were infact Tamil people. They emigrated from India during or after the collapse of Indus Valley Civilization. The name Phoenicians was derived from the Tamil word PAN AND PANI Which means to PRODUCE. They were experts in trading and and great Navigators. They called themselves as PANIARS, or PANNIARS. The Greeks called them Phoenicians. RIG VEDA mentions a class of People called PANIS. WHO WERE INDIGENOUS TAMILS. They were also liked by Rigvedic Brahmins because they ( Panis) paid the Brahmins lot of tributes for their servises. In Tamil language Money/ Currency is called PANAM even to this day. Panam ie paying something in tarde is derivmed from PAN or PANI that is to Produce.

this is why ancient Romans would wear purple. priests still wear purple today. Roman nobility, purple, state/religion, phonetic alphabet, maritime trade, the phoenecians of yesterday have evolved into the royals of today, the UK/Vatican, the queen of England wears purple and so does all her priests. The UK judicial system is maritime law, the phonecians wrote the alphabet and ruled the Mediterranean sea for 1500 years, the history books say that Hannibal was defeated by the Romans who the destroyed Carthage and conquered the phoenecians. How does the new kid on the block rome defeat a civilisation that ruled the known world for 1500 years?
The Phoenicians were not a single political entity. Much like the Greeks, they were divided among many city states and petty kingdoms despite their shared culture and religion. Various Phoenician city states would set up trade posts for their ships along the coast of North Africa, Sicily, and eventually Spain. Many of these trade posts developed into cities in their own right (like Carthage, Utica, Lepis, Gadir, Iol, and so on). Carthage was located in a fantastic natural harbor with nearby fertile land and was centrally located meaning they could trade in Spain for iron, copper, lead, gold, and silver trade with the Phoenician homelands, Greece, Italy (with the Romans, Etruscans, Umbrians, and so on), Egypt, and other places. Carthage was primarily trade focused. Every time they expanded, it was to try to reach new markets. Rome expanded to assimilate and make the conquered Romans or at least subject to Rome. Carthage also depended on hiring mercenaries from the civilians they traded with while Rome built standing armies of trained soldiers. And they fought three wars with the first two being closely contested (with Hannibal almost ending Rome a few times in the Second Punic War) and the Third Punic War was more of genocide than a war.
Some emphasis on the Phoenician' alphabet (around 6:25) - while it is indeed a mother of many European languages (but not ALL), it was not invented by the Phoenicians themselves, but evolved from the proto-Canaanite script, known as the North Semitic alphabet (same as Hebrew, language of the original old testament, evolving from proto-Canaanite script). One more note about the Phoenicians' demise; albeit a great maritime nation, but not a military power, they were defeated and controlled by many empires, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians and Finally the Macedonian-Greeks (Alexander at al). With Cartago it was a different story, as Cartago had the great Military leaders (Hannibal the great of course the most known).
Most animal sacrifices involved eating the meat afterward. It was usually cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and so on that were sacrificed. Religious festivals were often the only time many people actually ate meat since it was otherwise so expensive. In ancient cultures, the animal would be slaughtered in a ritualistic manner (such as facing an alter or being dabbed with oil) and the slaughter would be dedicated to a god. Certain organs or body parts might be burnt as an offering to a god. Keep in mind that both Kosher and Halal slaughter both have their origins in ancient animal sacrifice. As far as the human sacrifices, yes, the Canaanites (the religion practiced by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and others) did occasionally practice human sacrifice; specifically the burning of babies. However, it was reserved only for emergencies and it was done by the most powerful in society. The idea was that it was to show how much you needed the help of a deity that you were willing to sacrifice your own child. It wasn't a regular practice.

I keep forgetting about something really interesting regarding the Asians and native Americans.
Proud to be phoenicians🇱🇧💜

Please post something about southern India , they also had a strong cultural history
Many remember there were only two races in this world today : Aryans & Dravidians as history portrays to knowledge. A little instinct if applied would clarify how many of the rich cultural heritage of the entire world & artisans sculptures that stand out today is all about a one particular ancient group of people today. Be you located wherever in this world, the language you speak annotates it all for any to understand clearly.
Yes though I’m Greek and turkish and Egyptian I love to learn more about India’s lost continents and historical background. Please 😊

Great video again. But there is one more ancient civilization that was as great as the rest. The ancient Tracians. As a matter of fact Spartacus was a tracian. They were famous with their goldsmiths. The tracians were lived in nowday Bulgaria. I am their proud descendant . Check for Panagyurishte Treasure, it is amazing, I have seen it with my own eyes. Waiting for the special video. 🥰🥰🥰
I think you mean thracians
And they lived in Thrace which is in Greece
They’re considered part of the Ancient Greek people’s
@@benjackson91 here I have to desagre with you about the Thracians being Greeks. They lived in different territory and had their own life style and culture. There are many survived items and places in the teritory of Bulgaria. But there is much research to be done and digging back in the time.
@Kaly because that is a different geographical territory.,population and culture.
Do you mean Thrace?
While the Phoenicians are often credited with the development of the alphabet, the evidence suggests that the alphabet itself evolved from Egyptian hieratics which itself was an evolution of the more complicated hieroglyphics. There are early signs of alphabetic writing which seem to be evolve from southern Canaan and make their way north to Phoenicia, where it was refined into the Phoenician alphabet.
Who really created what in early civilization? Considering that it always comes out later that certain discoveries were either adapted or evolved from an earlier culture. Isn’t cuneiform the oldest writing on record?
ElconTonyMontana Both Cuneiform and Egyptian Hieroglyphics are equally as old with no exact dates of their origin but estimates range from 5500-5200 years ago.
@Scott Kirk vocabulary has to do with language, which far far predates the advent of writing. Some say complex human language may have started as long as 70,000 years ago, way before any writing existed.
@@Emcee_Squared the dynastic egyptians were related to the phoenicians
Phoenician was basically canaanite but it was more modern at the time i think. so basically the alphabet influence from the phoenicians was canaanite - also the phoenicians WERE canaanites lol.

were they a mix of greek and italian?
Naw they were their own people who inspired the very start of greek and roman civilizations. Their ancestors are levantines
antiquity is that LT5000 BC
The Phoenicians were infact Tamil people. They emigrated from India during or after the collapse of Indus Valley Civilization. The name Phoenicians was derived from the Tamil word PAN AND PANI Which means to PRODUCE. They were experts in trading and and great Navigators. They called themselves as PANIARS, or PANNIARS. The Greeks called them Phoenicians. RIG VEDA mentions a class of People called PANIS. WHO WERE INDIGENOUS TAMILS. They were also liked by Rigvedic Brahmins because they ( Panis) paid the Brahmins lot of tributes for their servises. In Tamil language Money/ Currency is called PANAM even to this day. Panam ie paying something in tarde is derivmed from PAN or PANI that is to Produce.

1 because the most important cities that survived the most were in Lebanon
2 no one exactly invented the alphabet but many civilizations helped it develope and one of the most important ones is Phoenician
3 because in the Egyptian one you would need to draw what your writing (eagle , house...)
4 to trade with other countries
5 it was a colony
Polynesians?

Is this the same civilization where Odysseus reaches at last after leaving the island of Calypso? who then later send him back to Ithaka, with lots of wealth
Odysseus Greek: Ὀδυσσεύς, is a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey. Nothing to do with the Phoenicians....
this is why ancient Romans would wear purple. priests still wear purple today. Roman nobility, purple, state/religion, phonetic alphabet, maritime trade, the phoenecians of yesterday have evolved into the royals of today, the UK/Vatican, the queen of England wears purple and so does all her priests. The UK judicial system is maritime law, the phonecians wrote the alphabet and ruled the Mediterranean sea for 1500 years, the history books say that Hannibal was defeated by the Romans who the destroyed Carthage and conquered the phoenecians. How does the new kid on the block rome defeat a civilisation that ruled the known world for 1500 years?
The Phoenicians were not a single political entity. Much like the Greeks, they were divided among many city states and petty kingdoms despite their shared culture and religion. Various Phoenician city states would set up trade posts for their ships along the coast of North Africa, Sicily, and eventually Spain. Many of these trade posts developed into cities in their own right (like Carthage, Utica, Lepis, Gadir, Iol, and so on).
Carthage was located in a fantastic natural harbor with nearby fertile land and was centrally located meaning they could trade in Spain for iron, copper, lead, gold, and silver trade with the Phoenician homelands, Greece, Italy (with the Romans, Etruscans, Umbrians, and so on), Egypt, and other places.
Carthage was primarily trade focused. Every time they expanded, it was to try to reach new markets. Rome expanded to assimilate and make the conquered Romans or at least subject to Rome. Carthage also depended on hiring mercenaries from the civilians they traded with while Rome built standing armies of trained soldiers.
And they fought three wars with the first two being closely contested (with Hannibal almost ending Rome a few times in the Second Punic War) and the Third Punic War was more of genocide than a war.

Some emphasis on the Phoenician' alphabet (around 6:25) - while it is indeed a mother of many European languages (but not ALL), it was not invented by the Phoenicians themselves, but evolved from the proto-Canaanite script, known as the North Semitic alphabet (same as Hebrew, language of the original old testament, evolving from proto-Canaanite script).
One more note about the Phoenicians' demise; albeit a great maritime nation, but not a military power, they were defeated and controlled by many empires, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians and Finally the Macedonian-Greeks (Alexander at al). With Cartago it was a different story, as Cartago had the great Military leaders (Hannibal the great of course the most known).

Sacrifice animals....were they just having a BBQ?? Did they totally burn the meat up?? Or, eat it ?? (child stuff seem like a-bortion today 😥 sadly...
Most animal sacrifices involved eating the meat afterward. It was usually cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and so on that were sacrificed. Religious festivals were often the only time many people actually ate meat since it was otherwise so expensive.
In ancient cultures, the animal would be slaughtered in a ritualistic manner (such as facing an alter or being dabbed with oil) and the slaughter would be dedicated to a god. Certain organs or body parts might be burnt as an offering to a god.
Keep in mind that both Kosher and Halal slaughter both have their origins in ancient animal sacrifice.
As far as the human sacrifices, yes, the Canaanites (the religion practiced by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and others) did occasionally practice human sacrifice; specifically the burning of babies. However, it was reserved only for emergencies and it was done by the most powerful in society. The idea was that it was to show how much you needed the help of a deity that you were willing to sacrifice your own child. It wasn't a regular practice.
