- Carthage came into being as a Phoenician trading base, its strategically favourable location eventually allowing it to develop into a major centre of trade and seafaring. Carthage, Rome's fierce adversary, is the gateway to the treasures of Africa

Hannibal is my favorite historical figure, as defiant in death as he was in life.
May the histories always remember and celebrate the man who almost toppled an Empire; Hannibal Barca is a true legend.
If you're dead... who are you defying???

More savage than Pyrrhus. More loved by his men than Alexander. More tactical than Napoleon. And as brave as Caesar.
And died just like they all did...
@@donnieboughton1730 nice! Agreed. But Caesar got done dirty.
thanks bro
Hannibal Lecter was an evil man
@@donnieboughton1730 no Hannibal dies on his own terms not killed by his own men
Hannibal was a great leader 👏 👍 🇹🇳
/oo :> I think the tunisien descendant from the cartaginian should make a documentary on their own and talk about cartage. There are many cities like utica,tapsus,thugga,meanapolis,hadrumatum,capsa,korbous,sfouteila,and many more others..
Respect O.G Hannibal !
Respect to you as well, Snake! Hopefully one day you will escape, for good.
Proud of Tunisian history 🇹🇳❤️
I would too
It's incredible. Love watching these. Watch Pompeii and Herculaneum. Really interesing
Thanks to the phoenicians !!!
@@christelleazzi1735yes middle eastern and north Africans were like brothers they were connected historically.
@@christelleazzi1735 what Phoenicians?! The ones who couldn't build an empire on their homeland but sailed across the Mediterranean and built one ? That's a legend only kids believe
Carthage is so fascinating
It is isn't it. I love the Pompeii and Herculaneum videos as well.

This one IS a Time Machine. The narration and music are hypnotic and so is the photography. Felt I was there if you know what I mean.
How different everything could have turned out if only Hannible had entered and finished off Rome.
Rome was too well protected. He could not have done it. Didnt have enough men.
Absolutely impossible. It's one thing to win a battle in a field, another to conquer an entire city. Plus Hannibal had an outstretched supply line, plus he had very little support from back home, PLUS despite his great victory at Cannae he still lost 10% of his army.
Western civilization would not have existed. I'm glad that Rome won.
@@danesovic7585 The world would be better off without western civilization
@danesovic7585 yes we would had existed. But maybe we'd be more germanic and not Latin

How can you do a story on the distruction of Carthage with out mentioning Hanibal or his father ?
Thank you for taking us on a wonderful journey to the past
Imagine how deep a trauma it must have been for someone to understand that they were being enslaved. They were about to be forced away from everything they knew, taken to a whole other country in probably the worst imaginable conditions and once there, would be expected to shut their mouth and do as they're told as they're being worked to death but not quite, all of it while being fair-game for abuses of all sorts, sometimes even sacrificed in some gruesome public display.
Could be worse.

Envy and jealousy results in the ruins of ancient libraries.
I would love to know what the Phonecians had documented from their travels.
Unfortunately, now we only have Greek, Roman and Egyptian references to the Phonecian culture for information.
Hi there
How’s your day going today my friend?

Very good and interacting.
Thank you very much
My boyfriend and I love watching this series together tucked into fresh sheets on a rainy evening here in Dublin. Thank you for the wonderific show.
Captivant au plus haut point, ce documentaire révélateur d'une civilisation qui ne doutait pas de la force de la vie. Pas de désespoir moderne là.
Is there any feature movie about Carthage or Anibal that makes justice to them? please recommend me. tnks
There is about hannibal wars inside Rome
Carthage was not destroyed, Carthage is alive in the hearts of its people 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳❤️
Phoenician civilization ❤Lebanon 🇱🇧
Carthage = Tunisia
Tunisia = Carthage
End of story
The Phoenicians were a bunch a traders who didn't even build an empire on their homeland. You Lebanese should stop claiming Carthage it ain't yours . No one goes to Lebanon to study Carthaginian history
He loved it when a plan came together
Very interesting.

Ah, this takes me back.
The alphabet was the Phoenician invention and was not taken from other civilizations.
I'm not saying you're wrong...but I'm pretty sure the people who made this have done way more research than any of us in the comments
It was not so much an invention but an evolution.
@@donnieboughton1730 REALLY!!!! CARTHAGENIANS WERE GREAT MAJORITY NATIVE AFRICANS as all and any evidence confirms.The Phoenicians originated from Egypt.
@@matiusbond6052 and Americans mostly originated from Europeans... that doesn't make them european...
Yo🎉
What about the Parthians? :-)
Mago of Carthage is one of many interesting stories. The transfer and continuations of Phoenician Gods to Carthage shows the depth of this time.
Great video.
Europe and Africa, old and new, coexist in tunisia
Carthage is Phoenician from tyre lebanon
Carthage was much richer than Roman empire ,in additional of its successful competition for commercial dominate on Mediterranean coastline..for that Roman empire seized, captured, burned 🔥 Carthage.....& linked it to its vast territories
Good points of course. However, what is wealth truly? Is it precious metals, purple die, and slaves? Or is the ability to literally crush, obliterate, and destroy ANY opponent you may have in the world, and take everything they own...including them? I personally would rather belong to nation with LEGIONS of trained killers than a nation of boats and gold. Just my thoughts. But you are right nonetheless.
I guess all over the world there was always a great nation but all needs to fall eventually.
@@scottkain8977 Carthage had it, it was first military superpower in the Mediteranean.
Also "legio" initially means conscripts, legions of the early Roman Republic were conscripts and more like citizen militia than professional army. Mostly farmers who were mobilized, and often overnumbered by allied/vassal forces (mostly Italian people who were not roman citizens).
@@ivandicivan4189 And yet the Roman Republic razed Carthage to the ground and slaughtered everyone. Interesting.
@@scottkain8977 Well every power comes to an end one day. Rome was also destroyed by Vandals (interestingly they set out from Carthage).
Most importat thing in Roman-Carthaginian wars is that Romans had more loyal allies.

Ok, Stop. you'll forgot the Lady who started it all.
She lost her King, being the one who knew how to play the game showed the boy kings just what to do. They gave her a sq.yard of plet and said, "You can have all that you place with-in this plet."
The Lady cut a inside circle from it, not cutting the ends.
Later she opened up said plet to inclosed Miles of land for Her Land.
3,000yrs ago, this small little Lady builded the best of all time...
We all still talk about this land, but not the Lady who builded it.
Why? I would say, but. What was her name? say not I, read about her like I back in 1973ad. To this day I still think of her. Great Lady...
Oberst Robert Schwatisch.
Her name was Dido, pronounced “Die Dough”. The tale of her cutting the Bull Hide into VERY thin strips and encircling an entire hilltop is a wonderful legend but a legend it must remain. It is as wondrous as the Oracle at Delphi telling the Greek Colonizer Byzas to found his city “opposite the blind.” No matter how thin the strips she could have had cut the bull hide into it would not have covered the entire hilltop. She probably just landed her colonists and fortified the hilltop without anyone’s permission. So however she took possession of the the Hill Top Site and how Byzas chose the site for his city of Byzantium we’ll never really know. Byzas himself may not even be real, he may be only a myth. But Dido herself WAS real, her eldest aunt was the notorious Jezebel of the Bible. We can only hope the Bull Hide Story and Byzas are and remain myth and legend - Magic is best left unexplained.
Dido and Aeneas was a story invented and written in the 17th century sorry to burst you bubble but it's pure fiction; as poetic and beautiful as it is.
Dans ces vieilles pierres sont inscrites pour toujours les routes du passé et leur foi en la vie tombée dans le négatif de la photo du présent.

Funny how all the powerful civilization that ever existed in Africa had to come from somewhere else but Africa. How funny is the storyline 😅
Huh? The human species originated in Africa. Or is that just another 'storyline', too?
Pretty much true of the entire Mediterranean.
Regis king..Yes you are 100% correct!!!! When native Africans built Carthage ,Europeans and those of the middle east were still pretty much under developed,and certainly built NOTHING in north Africa.The lies and racism are so obvious.

"They feared slave traders? But only black people were ever enslaved" says Americans today lol.
Intelligent people know that's not true
I’ve never once heard anyone in America say that. I doubt you have either.
@@willbe5994 you're not paying attention then
I find it interesting and some what humorous just how many people take the word of these supposed "experts". In a nutshell 70%+ of their statements are just educated guessing or just speculation. Yes there are things to find about past civilizations BUT it gets taught as absolute truth. Where's the unadulterated TRUTH??
Science as well as archeology are based on speculation, good guessing, and the puny thinking of man's understanding.
There IS a lot we can learn from past civilizations BUT we don't, truth is the same thing that destroyed these in the past will destroy the future.
" Beware of the Ides of March"
It would really be nice to "see" more of their PROOF of what they are stating. Archeology and history can be manipulated to "show" certain results. Proof of that is prevalent in today's society especially here in the USA where certain groups are trying to rewrite history and the constitution to fit their agenda.
How is north Africa part of europe😅😅😅😅
/oo :> if cartage had 100000 people and 2300 years ago we only know one name is Hannibal Barca.
/oo :> this mean that the whole history is a miss.

The phonecians are the seed of (K)Ham Berethshit 10:6 Phut, this chapter lists the three patriarchs and their bloodline.
Unless you are of the premise that they stayed with Nimrod also a son grandson of (K)Ham, after the confusion of the tongues languages which compelled people families to join those who spoke understood their new to them language.
Nimrod aka AmRaphel also- with Ashar ben Shem who was the high priest of Nimrod's cult, also remained in Babylon as they all were able to understand one another.
Why yes they sacrificed to baal so not surprised

Hannibal great tactician horrible strategist .
Not really. He was basically on his own in Italy. The Carthaginian leadership failed to send him badly needed reinforcements and supplies, so his army shrank due to attrition. I think he only had something like 15,000 men left when he gave up and left Italy if I remember correctly.
Carthage is “Africa”!!! Not Southern Europe. You “people” still refer to historic areas near the Med., as being
influenced by Europeans. Here’s news for you revisionists historians; when Africa (Egypt) reached its prominence, THERE WAS NO EUROPE!!!!
Carthaginians also aren't black but Phoenician
Ethopians served in Titus Vespasianus's legions. Your people slaughtered the inhabitants of Jerusalem in 70 a.d. Now you claim to be Iudeans. Bask in your forner glory, Legionary Maximus Flatulus.
Carthage is Phoenician Lebanese
Having your city sacked and the survivors enslaved, your libraries burned and your religion obliterated sounds like extreme, destructive influence to me….

The greatest rival for the Romans was Jesus Christ himself, and it was a one sided beef might I add. He loved them all, remember what Jesus said on the cross when a Roman passed him as he heard Jesus's words "PLEASE FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO"
No he wasn't! Jesus was a Jewish fanatic he was more angry at the Jewish religious elite in the pocket of the romans than an enemy of the roman empire he was only on the romans mind for a few years and only in Jerusalem where pontius piolate wast stationed and who subsequently arrested and dealt with him
Timeline-World History...We along with African Diaspora will continue to set the record straight on True African history which has been greatly fabricated and distorted by main stream media.The great majority of ancient Carthagenians were native black and brown people of their native lands,NOT representative of those shown in this video.Carthage is located in north Africa long before the Muslim invasion of North Africa which occurred in the 7th century AD,which is when the ethnic/racial demographics of the country actually began to change.Many Arabs and Turkish people live in north Africa today,but basically didn't live there in ancient times.Arab and Turkish are not African languages.Civilzation/Technology originated in Africa,EUROPE ,AND THE so called middle east were not of advanced civilizations when Africans established Carthage in 846 BC,and ROME DIDN'T EVEN EXIST.,at that time.A very old map of Africa shows the areas of Isreal,Lebanon,and Saudi Arabia were a part of north east Africa inhabited by Africans.,mainly from Egypt. The Phoenician,and Egyptian alphabet are almost identical.There are plenty statues,artifacts,drawings,written descriptions including Biblical of Phoenicians,which are not represented in this video.Carthage was a sea trading Empire,so naturally some non Africans existed therebut were the minority.Noted Anthropologists E.Pittard,L,Bertalome,F.Ratzel and a number of others examined Carthagenian and other north African,cemetaries,,all subjects examined belonged to the black race.There are written descriptions of Carthagenians,remaining artifacts and more.Main stream media has made a concerted,deliberate attempt to fabricate and distort the logical true history on this subject ,and continues to do so until today.
