@wilfredotorres6628 2 года назад

Hi Gabriel, fascinating history, no real mention of Hannibal, the greatest general of the era, he was a major problem for the Roman legions. Hannibal is known to have sparked the 2nd Punic war by traveling over the Alps and the Pyrenees mountains with 100,00 troops and forty elephants, an incredible military feat. Hannibal is mentioned of course in the movie Gladiator as a fierce warrior. The walkthrough the Carthage Colosseum reminds me of the scene in Gladiator and Spartacus the Thracian Gladiator trained by the Romans and later rebelled against them.

The Carthaginian Hannibal took an army with elephants across the Iberian peninsula which is today known as Spain, then headed east and across the alps and terrorized the Romans for 17 years throughout the Italian peninsula. His army was never large enough to threaten Rome though.

5:45 The Acropolium of Carthage Groundbreaking - CE1884 Completed - CE1890 The Acropolium, also known as Saint Louis Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Louis de Carthage), is a Roman Catholic church located in Carthage, Tunisia. The cathedral sits on the peak of Byrsa Hill, near the ruins of the ancient Punic and then Roman city. It was built atop the ruins of an old temple dedicated to Eshmun, the Punic god of healing. The edifice can still be accessed from the basement. Since 1993, the cathedral has been known as the "Acropolium". It is no longer used for worship, but instead hosts public events or concerts of Tunisian music and classical music. Currently, the only Roman Catholic cathedral operating in Tunisia is the Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul in Tunis. Hussein II Bey authorised the French consul-general to build a cathedral on the site of ancient Carthage, to determine where it would be situated, and to take all the land necessary for the project. His words were: We cede in perpetuity to His Majesty the King of France a location in the kingdom, sufficient to raise a religious monument in honour of King Louis IX at the place where this prince died. We commit ourselves to respect and to make respected this monument consecrated by the King of France to the memory of one of his most illustrious ancestors

You mention that the history of America is similar to the history of carthage but you are wrong because the Phoenicians when they came to tunisia they lived peacefully with the native people of the land and they didn't kill them .In contrast, english colonies killed so many people in America when they occupied the new continent back then

Peacocks are native to South Asia and India thus indicating the importance of Carthage as a trading centre.

Gabe the Byzantines were predominantly Greeks and spoke of course Greek! You have visiited their churches and monuments both in Greece and Asia Miinor (modern Turkey) and even in the middle-east. That the Byzantines were "Romans" is a recent "leftist", nation-nihilist false narrative. Just don't fall for it...

@GabrielTravelerVideos 2 года назад

Yes, I often mention that Byzantine means Greek. But the language I saw at Carthage was Latin, I didn't notice any Greek. It was probably a mix of both as well as other cultures. But it was conquered by Rome, not Greece in 146 BC and founded by the Romans. The Byzantines would have come later. So the city had influences from many different cultures.

@aaronlundstrom 2 года назад

19:31. Possibly a cemetery resulting from child sacrifice. "Children - both male and female, and mostly a few weeks old - were sacrificed by the Carthaginians at locations known as tophets. The practice was also carried out by their neighbours at other Phoenician colonies in Sicily, Sardinia and Malta. Dedications from the children's parents to the gods are inscribed on slabs of stone above their cremated remains, ending with the explanation that the god or gods concerned had 'heard my voice and blessed me'." - University of Oxford
