It's ironic that he mentions that time means little to the inhabitants-a group of people who pray at five quite strict times a day, strictly abide by time, and lead lives like clockwork. Not to mention Surah Al-Asr, which even swears by time, particularly in a country where, according to him, 80% of the population are Muslims who also follow the Quran...
@@eugeniev-a4not necessarily. Praying 5 times a day does not make you extreme. It just makes you a practicing Muslim. Extremism happens went one imposes their ideas on others with no room for varying. “Everyone must be the same”. Being Muslim is voluntary or it’s performative.
We have a saying , (me & a friend) of my invent. It goes " The word modesty Is obsolete" . It does not exist in the vocabulary the mine the heart of the younger.
Europeans have always thought - and still think - that they are better than us. But it's really a matter of perspective. They think we are unsanitary but they don't even wash their behinds, the narrator complained about not wearing gloves as if there's no bakery in Europe where people don't where gloves and Italian wine isn't made by people stomping grapes with their bare feet he also complained about flies getting on bread as if there's yet to be a hot dog stand to be touched by insects. It's also a matter of ignorance, because the narrator is missing cultural context and doesn't understand that even the feet of the baker are probably cleaner than the narrator's face because he washes them 5 times a day. So it's a sense of superiority mixed with a lack of knowledge.
Syrian Aleppo Soap was born more than 4,000 years ago in the city of Aleppo in ancient Mesopotamia, which long competed for the title of oldest city in the world with Damascus. It is to the French crusaders that we owe its discovery and its importation to the old European continent." The oldest ones often say that they were not ill even if food storage was not as sanitized as today. Because they were eating fresh foods, not industrial processed food with pesticids...
Interestengly, Damascus iron came from Central Asia. The same generic damascus metal processing methodology was lost, the current damascus metal is the different metal indeed.
What I find interesting is the drastic change in footwear over the decades. If you look at Damascus today everyone is wearing sandals, flip flops, slides. Back then they all wore closed toe shoes. They weren’t like “it’s hot and I’m more comfortable in casual clothes” like the way people complain today.

Cheap soaps 🤣, how rude that was ,maybe he didnt knew tgat soaps was invented in syria or iraq in 9th ceuntry ,and wasnt used by europeans until centuries later🤣
I think it was said here more as a "non expensive " (compare to imported soaps you could by in western europs back then) more than "non quality" one. He said the same about oranges. Only today people uses the word "cheap" to refer to something of bad quality, back then people say it to mean "affordable", so it's a good thing and it WAS cheap (and of course probably way better than any soap from factories)
How are you offended by him saying cheap soap? He didnt even say "soaps" as that would be incorrect English to add an -s to a non count noun, so I think you may not be a native English speaker, but youre a bit overly sensitive about him observing the cheap price of the soap. How is that a reason to go on the defensive? You realize that western countries were at their economic height at this point, so everything in any country was cheap for them. I guarantee you a homeless person in London could afford 50 bars of this cheap soap.
@@ItsTocaDina What do you mean finally? And what history? He got the date wrong by nearly 9000 years. Soap was invented in Mesopotamia nearly 3,000 years before Christ was born and dude is saying it was created in the 800s and youre relieved that FINALLY someone knows history? LMAO You clearly dont know history, and neither does OP, and it makes me literally laugh out loud that youre over here praising this guy and hes wrong.
lol it’s so funny at the little rude remarks he says. Unsanitary and then the soaps he said “cheap soaps. But judging from the appearance of the people there, little demand for it” 😂😭 I am Syrian btw
HE AINT Had to say that just because it’s dusty roads doesn’t mean that the people Is dirty they clearly have clean textiles wrapped and wrapped to cover their skin why does he think that they’re dirty because the roads are dusty? I bet you they are cleaner than he is who’s speaking the commentary
Warm feelings for my Damascus... Grew up until the age of 15 in Homs not far from Damascus, living in the US and grateful to my America for 38 years since then, but the heart still aches for Syria when I see her being harmed by outside forces. May God bless her and her people Ya Rab! 🙏🏻

my guess would be that the commentary was added much later, the original being a silent movie documentary. The Ottomans left Syria in 1918. Perhaps the commentator wasn´t even there and was basing his comments on the footage we are seeing right now.
nope. You can see it is after the British take over (1918) since the Jaffa gate soundings are better organized and the Othman clock tower doesn't exist anymore. Tiding this area was the first move of Storrs, the British military governor of the city . in addition, the film depicts mainly Muslims- which can be attributed in such proportions to the city only after the 1920's, when many of them came from Egypt and Arabia. Until the British era Muslims where a minority in town: e,g. According to the Othman census of 1905 from a total population of 32,400 people- 13,300 were Jews, 11,000 were Christians and only 8,100 were Muslims. The Muslims did not care much abut Jerusalem. The city was a backwater town in the Othman Damascus Eyalet. It was only after the interest by the empires in the 19th century and the rise of Zionism that Palestine and Jerusalem were developed, and Muslims immigrated in droves to the area and city . You can also see the dome of the rock prior to its coverage by gold in 1966 by the Jordanian, as an attempt to elevate its importance. Unfortunately the Muslim still treat the city very poorly. the Muslim quarter is dirty and unkept. the Muslims ruin their own archeology and disregard their own rich history in the city (Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, Fatimid, Kurds (Saladin), Mamluk and Othman). It is a shame that people that supposedly claim their devotion to the city are unable to meet minimal standards of respect to this place- as owners, or more properly as custodians- since it is not something you can "own", as if it is a 2nd hand car.
That's a lot of Kurds in Damascus Syria. I recognize their traditional clothing anywhere. I think out of everyone in the Middle East, Kurds and the Saudi's mainly continue to wear their traditional clothing to this day, in everyday settings.
@Pumpkin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man what I can tell you, if you’re Pumpkin. the shoes of my father old than your Israel, just tell the people here: Where your grandfather was born .. all come from the West. Zionist scholars searched every spot in the occupied land of Palestine for antiquities, but they did not find. Even Zionist geneticists could not prove that you are from here. but the Jews of course are in the whole world ! This is for sure, and I respect them a lot like my family .. But occupier Zionist, after the whole world expelled you ancestors from Russia, America and Europe, the Arab people of Palestine and Morocco welcomed you ... what have you done !!! Your mother Britain gave you arms and the Balfour Declaration and you killed the original inhabitants of the Palestinian land ... in 1948 ... this is your truth, you are a usurper occupation entity, and you will return from where you came ... Palestine is free from the river to the sea 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸
Everyone has been calling it Palestine since the Romans- even nowadays, it's called "historic Palestine". Not to be reductive, the only people who called it Israel were the Jews who lived there whereas Palestine was a name that encompassed all the different peoples and cultures who had been there
@@basmalasaad3039 Jews called the land Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) but also "Palestine". The latter was neutral and not associated with any etnicity or faith. My parents' birth certificates define their nationality as Palestinian and their religion as Jewish.

@waad جاء وصف العموريين والمؤاب في كتابات المصريين القديمة أنهم بيض وعيون زرقاء وشعر اشقر وانف محدب قليلا، كما جاء وصف الفينيقيين في مخطوطات الفيلسوف الإغريق زينوفنس وهو أنهم ذو شعر احمر وعيون رصاصي، كما جاء وصف الهكسوس عند المصريين القدامى، وجميع هذه الأقوام يرجع نسبها كنعانيين، إلى ارام من نسل سام أو شام، وهم بيض حالهم حال نوح وأولاده. (جدير بالذكر أن نوح وقومه كانو يعيشون في شمال العراق حاليا ، أي منطقة نينوى القديمة) كما جاء وصف العرب في الشام والعراق من قبل الشاعر عمر بن كلثوم وامرء القيس والمتنبي وعمر بن أبي ربيعة، بالادب العربي الكلاسيكي، كما أن أهل الموصل الاقحاح وتكريت وأهل غرب العراق ، عانة وراوة وحديثة ( التاريخ يقول انهم بالاصل من بني إسرائيل جاء بهم الاشوريون في السبي الآشوري ٧١٨ قبل الميلاد، ثم تمت إبادة الاشوريون، فاسترثوا الارض) غالبيتهم هم ذوي بشرة بيضاء وعيون زرقاء، إلى الآن. كذلك نجد كثير من أهل الشام ذو بشرة بيضاء إلى الآن.
@waad هذا صحيح، ينبغي أن يكون معه تفاصيل و هيئة ، والأهم هو الطباع المجتمعية التي ترافق مجتمعهم. نحن هنا في الموصل وكذلك في بغداد نفس الشيء، نشعر بهذا التغير في المجتمع الموصلي وكذلك البغدادي، بشكل ملموس، كذلك حدث في مدينة تكريت القديمة التي كان سكانها من العرق الابيض وذوي اخلاق، ومثل هذا حدث في عانة و راواة وحديثة. التركيبة السكانية لمدن العراق تغيرت.

Why? That's the truth. The British mandate for Palestine (also known as "the Land of Israel") - not ever a Palestinian state. It has nothing to do with what people now call Palestine or the people who claim ownership on it (so called "Palestinians"), I assume that's what you're referring to. If anything, this video shows that there was no state of Palestine and that many people lived there already at such an early time, including Jews (who were considered to be "Palestinians" because that's how everybody was called in the mandate for Palestine).
Everyone was called Palestinian, Jews and Arab. It’s actually funny since the Arabs rejected the name Palestine and argued that it was invented by the Zionists.
@@cl9615 هذه مغالطة كبيرة نحن هنا لا نتكلم عن وجود دولة فلسطينية بالمفهوم المعاصر بل نحن هنا نتكلم عن أرض و سكانها الاصليين و هؤلاء كانوا موجودين حتى قبل الاحتلال البريطاني ( و لم تكن هناك تسمية تشير الى أرض فلسطين بمصطلح مثل "أرض إسرائيل" ) و السكان الأصليين هم الشعب الفلسطيني بكل مكوناته أما اليهود الفلسطينيين كانوا أقلية في مقابل الأغلبية العربية المسلمة و اليهود الفلسطينيين لا علاقة لهم بالخليط الغير المتجانس الذي جاء من أوروبا الشرقية و شمال افريقيا و غيرها من المناطق حول العالم

Nope you misunderstood the comment,Palestine was an independent nation pretty much just under the supervision of the UK where the natives lived there@@user-kf8fl5rm3s
I have to say this guy speaking is a racist, he basically said they were dirty, not clean even though they have soap. That was never true, and he would know that if he understood wudu, but he doesn’t know that does he.

Not sure what your point is. Zionism began in the 1800s, and Israel became a country in 1948. However, in 1938 there were close to 500,000 Jews living in Palestine (which was called that by the British beginning in 1918 - not the Arab population prior to that). The Jewish presence in Jerusalem (which was the Jewish capitol beginning 1000 BC) was huge and included such institutions such as The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Palestine Symphony Orchestra (composed of Jewish musicians), The Jerusalem Post, etc., all of which still exist today.
When you sit back and look at all these countries from that era including United States, they all had one thing in common. They were All well dressed and groomed. It seems as technology advances, clothes become irrelevant nor class.
@@alfamejeu7237 I will be generous with you. First, you either didnt understand my comment or you ignored the facts. Second, there was never a kingdom called Palestine, lol. Neither was there one called israel. Third, you information comes from the bible, whom all rational historians (includng biblical scholars) state that the bible is NOT a credible historical source. Fourth, if you want to be technical, according to history (and, coincidentally the old testament also supports this) the land was called Kanaan, where the Canaanites lived (aka the Arabs. Palestinians, be they Jews, Christians or Muslim are Arabs) before there were Jews (they didnt call themselves Jews). Historians say aprox. 1200BC the israelites invaded the land of Kanaan, where the Canaanites lived.
@@phantomtr1 You’re actually so slow brother. Jesus was JEWISH. The whole Bible is a HISTORICAL RELIGION. The kingdom of Israel has artifacts that you’re so blind to want to accept. Most of Israel’s artifacts are JEWISH. Jewish culture is 10x more older than Palestinians. Jesus was a Jewish man, and he was a Israelite. The cannanites where pegans and when Egypt enslaved the Jews they grew in power. Then the Jews conquered the land and destroyed there kingdoms. You telling yourself Palestinians are cannanites is embarrassing because they where baby sacrificers. The Bible is a historical book just like any other religion. But the Bible has many different others online the Quran. So stop being dull and accept the fact: Jews have been living there for thousands of years and Palestine didn’t exist.
That American guy could agree, his people have destroyed it now... they made it worse. He was speaking as if they were in need of their culture, history showed the opposite.
