VOLUBILIS, MEKNES: DID YOU KNOW MOROCCO ONCE HAD THE MOST REMOTE ROMAN CITY IN THE WORLD?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Did you know Morocco has it all?! Seriously! We learnt that Morocco even has ancient Roman ruins from the city of Volubilis near Meknes in Morocco. At one point in time this was a booming city with over 20,000 residents and a city of production in olives and oils.
Incredible to see such history - and not to mention breathtaking to walk through such history at sunset.
Thanks for watching! :)

Wishing you a very happy tour to Marco
Welcome great family to Morocco 🇲🇦
Assalam to you all from Richmond Virginia
Amazing to think of the daily lives of those who lived there. I first visited in 2013. When I returned in 2018 I had the same guide!
My son and I explored the ruins at Lexus near LaRache this spring. The Romans were remarkable.
Lixus ?
Lixus was Phoenician counter, not roman city , historians say Phoenicians found it around 12 centuries BC, even before Carthage, but it seems the village existed before the Phoenicians comes and "founded" the city, still archeologists talk only about 8 century BC!
@@jadhora3794 Thank you for the further information
Lixus Berguata sijl massa all It's Amazigh indignous people who was established their own country741. There is no at all what you think or what you call...don't think wrong!
@@jadhora3794 lixus was a city in ancient Mauretania Tingitana, located in indeed present-day Morocco. The city was founded in the 7th century BC , however not by the Phoenicians but by the Carthaginians. It was an important trading hub for the region. Unlike what is still being presented ancient Carthage and "Phoenicia" are not one and the same. There is actually evidence to suggest that Carthage was predominantly composed of local= North African Berber people. One study published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology in 2017 found that ancient DNA samples from Carthage were genetically similar to modern-day Tunisians and other North African populations, and did not show significant evidence of Levantine or "Phoenician" ancestry.
Another study published in the journal PLOS One in 2018 analyzed ancient DNA samples from Carthaginian and "Phoenician" sites across the Mediterranean, including Ibiza and other spots in southern Europe. The study found that while there was some evidence of Levantine(neolithic) ancestry in these samples, there was also evidence of significant North African/Berber ancestry, and that the Levantine ancestry could be also be linked to Jewish populations who were also present in Carthage.
So neither Lixus or Carthage was a "Phoenician" city, but rather a diverse (mediterranean) and multicultural (from the western mediterranesn most of the time, see Arish the man of Birsa, strangly named "Phoenician" while his genetic lineage placed him in Iberia) city with significant North African /Berber influence in the basis with cultural ties to and with other mediterranean, incl the Levant, populations..
Best family, Best video.
Thank you
I notice that the latine word "volubilis" is not easy for you to pronouce. Instead I suggest to use "walili" which is the moroccan Amazigh name.
The amazigh people fought against romans for centuries.
Thanks for sharing. 😊
A great idea! And one we didn’t know either. Thank you for that 😊
Glad you made it there! Very interesting place. Love historic ruins. Thanks for showing it, Cath and I hope to do another trip round the North. Wasnt a car park there last we visited! ✌️👍
Thanks Keith! Hope you are both well 😊
Can't stop smiling while watching your videos guys, keep the great work, and I hope Oscar will be ok
Thanks so much!
Meknes is an amazing city! Glad you were able to visit volubilis ruins! We use to hang out with an art collector on the road looking at sunsets sometimes and it was beautiful!!
welcome to morocco,many thanks for sharing your experience
Still with you visiting Morocco from Belgium ❤
The black Basalt from the Atlantic ocean.
Harry, don't forget to see Moroccan architecture in Fez and Meknes
I absolutely love this beautiful family, so sincere and humble. Thank you for your work and taking the viewer with you to see and discover this beautiful country of Morocco. Indeed, and glad you mentionend that, alot of people have this assumption of Morocco as one giant sandpool with tents and camels. There is nothing wrong with that but its does not reflect the reality of Morocco and other North African countries. Actually has everything; from waterfalls, snow/skie hubs, indeed the mediterranean part and the desert further south. This country has almost all the "climates" or "niches" found in countries like Venezuela, Switzerland, France, Saudi Arabia, Greece. Located in the Mediterranean and be blessed with the Atlas Mountains is the main cause for this. I was reading a while ago that Iberia or Spain in fact is much dryer at this moment than Morocco and some people were "furious" because Morocco was stealing "their" rain, based on the assumption that since Morocco is located more south it should be dryer. Hhhh. That was indeed very funny to read. Ok family, please continue and im very glad to see your precious gifted children are giving the best education as possible to have a fair share of potential education too. Cheers.
Make more street food,,markets vlogs ❤❤ always have a great time to see your videos 😊
Lots more coming up very soon as we get back to Asia next week and planning a few months in South Asia this year!

Great video! BTW, the hillside village you can see in the background in several shots is the village of Fertassa, which director Franco Zeffirelli used to serve as the village of Nazareth in his 1977 miniseries JESUS OF NAZARETH.

Oscar, we had to wait until the end of the video to see you... It's a small wound that I hope will soon disappear, even with those scratches you're beautiful. It'll soon be gone!
Thanks @MehdiB 😎
welcome to Morocco
I wish a speedy recovery to little Oscar
Thank you
❤❤❤❤
Bravo
Nice
Salutations
In Walili ( Volubilis); the romans used to produce not only olive oil but also plenty of wine. However in Lixus ( Larache) they used to produce "garum" which was a sauce made up of fermented fish highly appreciated in Rome !!
Welcome to Morocco
Morocco always welcomes you at any time
We are proud of you and we love you
We wish safety to the son of Oscar
Thanks @Mohammed 😊
Thanks for this vlog. This is the only one that shows how hard or easy it is to get there. What if i dont drive and i dont want to join tourist groups. Is there a commute to this place?
You can get a shared taxi :)
Nice
love that
إنها وليلي التاريخية.اظن بانكم غادرتم المغرب❤❤❤❤
Thanks to you . But I had some information about this palace, Mcenissa. There is an Italian movie that talks about it . Mnisnissa, a Berber leader, is the one who said Rome is for sale, so who buys
Good trip
Hi my friend I hope you are so happy with you sane in my country Morocco I talk with you in Morocco moll before in H&M
❤️🇲🇦❤️
RV nice 😍
merci pour cette vidéo moi je suis marocain j’ai jamais visité l’endroit
J’espère le voir prochainement
انشاء الله
Oh and regarding your question about the Black Basalt found in Lixus and other parts of Morocco, most likely it came from some volcanic activity in the region, from the Atlas Mountains. The Atlas mountains are a volcanic chain, running through the country, and the basaltic lava flows produced by these volcanoes may be the source of the black basalt. Some researchers also suggest that the basalt may have been transported to Morocco by sea, as evidence of long-distance trade routes in ancient times has been found in the region. But most geologists are not convinced and have rejected this and believe that it may have been formed from volcanic activity in the region and that its unlikely that the basalt was transported by sea,. Tranported or not. The latter,lets say the Canary Islands, is impossible as the distance between the two locations is quite significant, and there is no further evidence to support this theory. Instead, it is more likely that the basalt was formed locally. Extra detail, the black basalt once was used by ancient civilizations in the region for construction purposes, like the (black basalt) temple in Lixus. The temple was likely built by the Carthaginians in the 4th century BCE. In addition to temples, black basalt was also used to create statues, columns, and other decorative elements in ancient Moroccan/Mauretanian architecture, like the Bust of Juba II, King of Numidia and Mauretania Tingitana(present day Northern Morocco)
Oscar, harry, 👏👏👏👏
Have a Luke day. ❤
Merci
I love your vedeo
نتمنى لاوسكار الشفاء العاجل

Vive le Maroc ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Please correct the information ,Volubilis is an amazigh-city before ,but occupated by roman ,
So ,The city existed before its occupation
And you were not far from Zerhoun town, from where 12 centuries of dynasties started; you could see it from there; it s on the top of two mountains

Oh thank you! Interesting 😊
@@AwaywiththeSteiners 💞👍🤗you Are verry well come.
Meknes is one of the cities of imperialism in Morocco. In the past, it was the capital of Morocco during the reign of Sultan Al-Mansur Al-Dhahabi. During his reign, West Africa and North Africa were under the rule of Morocco. During the reign of this sultan, Morocco knew progress, prosperity and strength, and at the same time it was a sultan who did not tolerate With criminals and enemies, this sultan was the reason for the collapse of the Portuguese Empire at that time in the Battle of the Three Kings, and he also had a famous battle called Wadi al-Laban in which he destroyed the Ottoman army on the border between Algeria and Morocco. The Ottomans tried to invade Morocco and annex it to the Ottoman Empire, but the Moroccans exterminate them. The most famous prison he built, called Qara Prison, still exists in Meknes, but it is closed to visitors. A prison that consists of kilometers of underground catacombs, but the oldest and most powerful imperial cities in Morocco remain Fez and Marrakesh. During their reign, Morocco was extending its control over West Africa, North Africa, and Southern Europe.
