    Ancient Spain boasted mariners whose skills were world-renowned, coinage that simplified trade, and iron swords that could cut through bronze weapons-and they all came from overseas. Three peoples came to Spain and left their mark on the country forever. Forget about 'Hamilton'-watch these "immigrants get the job done" thousands of years earlier.

      @@miguelmeloqueiroz3553 not really though... Spain is being used as an English word for Hispania, we obviously are aware that Portugal is a different independent country but whilst the name of Portugal doesn't appear until the reconquista the name of Spain exists since fenician times (Spanie) referring to the whole of the Iberian Peninsula, the Greeks called it Iberia bit this is a latter term and it refers to the river Iber (Ebro) and the Iberian people who were not of celtic origin but most likely native to Hispania so if they call it Spain which really means Hispania and you don't like it, imagine if they called it the Iberian Peninsula which refers to the Iberian tribes who lived along the Mediterranean coast, that is not only leaving Portugal out it's leaving most of modern day Spain out too.

      "The first object of the allied governments of Spain and France was to invade Portugal (1762), the ancient ally of Great Britain, which was supposed to be wholly incapable of defending itself against so formidable a confederacy…that feeble and defenceless kingdom was invaded shortly afterwards at three distinct points by three Spanish armies. Such was the spirit of patriotism awakened among the peasantry by a few British officers, that the invaders were repulsed, and ultimately driven back in disgrace." - Studies in History

    Er... well, it's nice to see a course in which they talk about my country, but more specifically about my land, Galicia. There are some inaccuracies here and there, such as using the word "province" to refer to it, as Galicia is one of Spain's "Autonomous Communities", and this Autonomous Communities are then divided into different provinces (or not, as some of them: the Balearic Islands, Murcia, La Rioja, Asturias, Cantabria and Navarra, consist of one province, but not Galicia, which has four) but calling our language, I'll repeat, language, a dialect... that's simply wrong.

      @@TheGreatCourses you are welcome. It's not mine but common knowledge here in Spain. Mind you, the word "province" may refer to different actual concepts, from Rome to current countries, but when talking about Spain it's just as I mentioned before. There are 50 provinces (*) and they are grouped in Autonomous Communities. Some are a Community on their own and then there are places like Andalucía that has eight or Castilla y León has nine.
      Think of it as the U.S (Spain) has States (Autonomous Communities) which consists of a number of counties (provinces).
      And about the language, I'm surprised she called it a dialect. Galician is said to be older than Spanish. Galician was part of the "lingua Galaico-portuguesa" (Galician-Portuguese language, yes) that was spoken in the North-West region of the Iberian peninsula.
      When time came in the Middle Ages to Portugal to go its own way, while Galicia was still a part of Castille, that language evolved in different ways, that's why now we have Portuguese and Galician, which seems to be half way from Portuguese to Spanish but it's a language of its own.
      Thank you.
      (*) And Ceuta and Melilla, the two Spanish cities in Africa, which are considered "Autonomous Cities", which I wouldn't be able to explain exactly what that implies without looking it up, but it's half way there between city, province and community.

    Galicia comes from Cale, the ancient Celt name of Porto, Portugal. Ancient Galicia was the area that goes from the river Douro,Porto all the way to the northwestern coast of the Iberian peninsula. The Greeks use to call the tribe, the Kallakois, people from Cale/Kale. Cale developed to Galeacia with the romans and to Galicia in the Middle Ages. The settlement of Cale (the nowadays city of Porto) was renamed by the romans as Portus Cale which means “port port” in two different languages, in latin and celt. The word developed to portucale over the Dark and Middle Ages and eventually to nowadays Portugal (the other Celt-Iberian country). Also, porto is the actual Portuguese word for port/harbour. Embarrassing the way they don’t get their facts right, misleading the viewers! Funny as some of the images are in Portugal. Iberia pls and not Sp.........!! ;)

Cadiz is even older than Athens, which means that is the oldest city in Europe that has been continously populated.

      I think that the Sumerians were probably Dravidian who are related to the people of Sri Lanka.
      Arabia was also Dravidian and Arabia is where all out of Africa migrants come from and the Dravidian type is among the most anciy,they even reached Japan and Australia.
      In Japan they call them "jomon people", and they are the ancestors of the Aïnu people. In Australia they are the aboriginal people.
      Dravidians are so ancient that they found their DNA in South America in some native American Indians Who later came and assimilated them.
      Dravidians so ancient and migrated out of Africa to the southern costs of Asia so long agot,they could had claimed the entire planet to themselves, having been stronger and progressed with New technology.
      Instead they stayed primitive or builders of temples in India, but without iron agent sophisticated weapons,and they got displaced.

      I am an Iberian of the original stock. I am not Celtic as those invaded from the north when my people were already there. Germanics like Visigoths and Vandals were some of the latest invaders, and the king of Spain is one of them, not a true Iberian. I did videos covering my getting banned at a racist website because I put the Germanics in their place who had to delete the thread where I whupped all of them even though they ganged up on me for being non-Germanic yet claiming to be Spanish. True Iberians are not Germanics AT ALL. Germanics were TOTALLY IRRELEVANT to the earliest centuries of Iberia. Greeks have a better claim at being native Iberians, than Germanic impostors. God let the barbarians take over much of the country as elsewhere in the then-Roman world, because the Roman world was proud, so God gave the reins of power to new nations coming in despite all being Caucasian and from Yafet. I plan to learn Basque which must be the modern form of ancient Iberian, adopted by Celts who pretend to be a unique race among the Spanish, yet are indistinguishable from their Germanic neighbours because they are Celts and Celts are essentially proto-Germanics, the first of them in western Europe.

    This is a very interesting video but the title is very poorly chosen. "The History of Spain". The narrator keeps saying "Spain" as a synonym to Iberian Peninsula.. And then keeps mentioning that the Celts traveled by sea from "Spain" to The British Isles. Then why not say they traveled from Spain to England? Why say British Isles or even mention "Ireland", "Scotland" or "Wales"?
    Well, if the Celts traveled through the Atlantic, they probably came from what is now Portugal, which holds most of the Atlantic coast of the Peninsula. Yet she says "Spain". I'm sure some people must be thinking "what's the bi difference?" - well imagine we're talking about the Celts arriving by boat in Ireland and say they arrived in "England"... How wrong would that information be?
    In those times there were no Spain, Portugal, Scotland or England. So we either say Iberian Peninsula and British Isles, or we say "What is now Spain, Portugal, Scotland or England" - but don't call Spain to the whole peninsula just as you don't call England to the whole of the British Isles.
    In fact this sometimes seems intentional because, how can the Greek presence in the Peninsula be mentioned without talking about Lisbon. The city was named after Ulysses, as its original name was Olyssipo, as the legend says it was founded by Ulysses. It just keeps being ducked and sidestepped, as it would be too complicated for people to compute the complex idea that there two countries in the Peninsula, and not one.
