Canaanites are Nephilim (giants if even an inch tall). They are an advanced race descended from Ham, who nowadays we call aliens. They are primarily sub terrestrial after Human Tribes decimated their tribes and caused the demise of Egypt. If you have these ancestors, it would likely be difficult to discover by modern means. Even if you have a more modern version of their race.

These are really interesting, especially when viewed as a sort of empire marathon, studying the endurance of different empires and how they rose, fell, and sometimes rose again stronger, along with how their interactions shaped the surrounding territories. It can give one (especially as an American) humility, as how powerful the U.S. is, we are less than 300 years old. The idea of a 1,000 year empire seems unfathomable the way things are going, but everything is an ebb and flow of peaks and troughs. As one of the common people, it's also very interesting to think about people travelling so far when travelling such vast distances was difficult and dangerous just to labor, how bad it must've been to motivate them to migrate such distances. These thoughts are only a few of what I have. I love ancient history, thanks so much for the work you've put in.
Very interesting. Thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to more Canaanite history. I'm curious too at what point the Isrealites appear as a distinct people, and would love to see an Israelite history (historical that is, and where Biblical/Tanakh narratives correspond with this). Thanks again.
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by and your feedback, I really appreciate it! The first time that a people (not state or kingdom) appear in any written record is on an Egyptian monument called the Merneptah Stele. I believe it's from around 1200 BC and in it, the word "Israel" appears listed as one of several peoples. For sure, I'll touch up on the Israelites as well and historical references to them. In the meantime, you might be interested in an artifact called the Tell Dan stele, which mentions a "House of David." That as far as I know is the only other historical reference to the early kings of Israel/the Israelites. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks and stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy references to david also include the bubasite portal at the temple in egypt inscribed by pharaoh shoshenq. And also the king mesha stele....
Very good. When you showed the Hykos "invading" I got annoyed that you had made such an error, but I had to laugh when you turned it around. You got me!

Thanks, Cy, I'm always interested to hear more about the Hyksos. Have you considered making a video (or series) regarding the claims of Manetho and Josephus and their disputed belief about the Hyksos, Moses and the early Hebrews/Canaanites? I personally think that some of the claims are spurious, but as with all myth, there's kernels of truth hidden within, and that people thousands of years ago knew things which scholars today never knew firsthand. Thank you for this.
Hi, thank you for stopping by and the comments, I really appreciate them! I know what you're referring to with regard to the Hyksos and will mention them in a separate Hyksos program I'd like to do.

Cy, that model of the Canaanite temple you showed to the end looks to be very similar to the Egyptian temples - two mighty pylons (here possibly towers) and a rectangular enclosure/building behind them. Do you know about some comparative works? Thanks.
Simple, amaaaazing. The effort and the amount of information is so amazing. Your videos are high quality and st the end, I feel as if I read an entire book on the subject. Can you answer this please on lingusitic history, if you can. I’d love to hear your opinion. So we know that most of the current world languages use the alphabet writing system, which we have given the name: phonecian language/script. From what I know, it is a transformation of Egyptian hyelogriphics that the Canaanites evolved; first into a proto-sinatic and then a proto-cananite script/language. Is it true that the southern Canaanites (ie near Gaza) are the first to invent the alphabet system, and then it got passed to other Cannanite tribes to the north (ie in Lebanon)? Is it also true that the entire alphabet system is a Cannanite one, rather than specifically a phonecian one? Is it true that we currently call it phonecian because the phonecians happen to have been the sea farring people of all the Cannan tribes? From what I know l, it is the Greeks that called the northern Cannan tribes as Phonecians. The question is: those phonecians lived from where to where (ie. modern Haifa to Byblos?) What were the main Cannanite tribes? Other than phonecians ... We’re the hebrews originally a Cannanite tribe? Or simply an Egyptian minority group that moved to Canaan. Is the language spoken by the various Cannanite groups (say at about 1,200 BCE or earlier) intelligible ?
Oh, you're going to like the next video as it's on Phoenician history, though I'll be going over their language in a separate video. So my understanding is that that yes, their was a Canaanite language/script before what the Greeks called Phoenician developed. In reality, Phoenician is a dialect of Canaanite or you could say a more recent version of what was spoken in the Bronze Age. There are different theories as to how it may have developed and of course controversy as some believe that the script developed in Egypt, perhaps the Sinai area, hence they call it Proto-Sinaitic script. Others call it proto-Canaanite. You are also correct that the term Phoenician is a Greek one, coming from the ancient Greek word phoinix meaning red or crimson. As for main Canaanite tribes, there were many that eventually coalesced into kingdoms during the iron age...Edomites, Israelites, Moabites, etc... Check out this video for more on that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8letIrov_Ds.html The origin of the word Hebrew may have come from the word habiru (or hapiru) which was the term given to bands of sort of stateless, wandering bands of mainly Canaanite people who were often on the fringes of society. This video might help with that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MDlTCJgh_N4.html Yes, the language before 1200 BCE is intelligible as it was very close to the Canaanite language(s) that came in the Iron Age, which is understood quite well by scholars. Hope this helps... any other questions, let me know...thanks again for stopping by, stay safe!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it! Yeah, it's fascinating stuff, how the more we study this, the more interconnected things are. Thanks again and stay safe!
this video is awesome! I learned a fair amount of ancient Hebrew and some classical Aramaic academically, but I also speak some other languages. Honestly to me, it's as if "proto-Phoenician", "proto-Hebrew" and/or "proto-Canaanite" are nearly the same language (closer than other "Romance languages" are to each other seemingly). The vocabulary is nearly identical with what one could argue are minor dialectical grammar or conjugation differences. I have heard a tradition that different tribes had different dialects; and there is possibly even a reference to it surrounding the historical origin of the term "shibboleth" in English literature if one cares to look. I appreciate you bringing up the fact a lot of names are historical exonyms, often from Greek or Latin. I would like to investigate further the real names of these peoples. For example, later on even the name "Peleset" recorded in Egyptian and Hebrew sources could be a Canaanite exonym from the root meaning "spreading forth" i.e. "the spreaders" i.e. "colonists" and not actually what they called themselves. There seems to be some genetic evidence as well that originally a more western Mediterranean population did settle and assimilate with local Canaanites in the case of the Peleset, if they are indeed the same as the Philistines. This would align more with other theories concerning the "Sea Peoples" and "bronze age collapse".
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, the kind words and the comments, I really appreciate them! Yeah, I'm fascinated with words and names too...there are so many words from the history of Mesopotamia (haha Mesopotamia being one of them) that are actually Greek and Latin names - so many Old Persian and Median names that the Greeks and later Romans couldn't pronounce and so they made their own - but it's fascinating to see in many cases how different they are and how they may have come up with them. Anyway, thanks again for stopping by and more importantly, stay safe!
paleohebrew and aramaic are iron age languages born. Canaanite Phoenician Amarian Nabatean Languages were majors of the iron age when hebrew and aramaic as well as northern arabic in many forms including that which formed islamic arabic. Those three here have canaanite influence but are alot different. Ancient Canaanite is not only different in exact ways and way older but purpose is uncorrupted that these later languages like hebrew/islam arabic are as.
In Hebrew (biblical and modern day) the root "PeLeSH" means "invasion/intrusion". I guess the Egyptians first learned of the Philistines from the Canaanites and just went with it.
Good Sir, I am new to your channel. I love what you are presenting. I am a happy subscriber and am binge watching your offerings. The comments section is a joy.

I think it would have been benefitial to expand more on the "ancestral homeland" bit, in terms of what exactly they would have shared that would positively impact relations. Was egypt controlled by people of a different religion, did they speak a different language, and so on. I don't like the term "ancestral homeland" cause there's always content hidden underneath it that would be interesting to learn about (besides modern political usage of the term).
Can you discuss the birth of israel in your next video? One theory suggests that Egyptian pharaos actually promoted israeli settlements for just expanding their control over that region.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and your comment, I really appreciate it. Specific Israelite settlements I don't know about, but they are believed to have promoted several groups in Canaan, one of them being the people we know as the Philistines. From time-to-time, the Egyptians did ally with the kingdom of Judah, such the Nubian, 25th dynasty against the Assyrians in the late seventh century BC. Thanks again and stay safe!

History with Cy a lot of people say that phonecians are in modern Lebanon. But I have a different view on that, and I was hoping you could correct me if I’m wrong The phonecians, as we all know, are one of the Cannanite groups. The people living in Cannan were known to be merchants (ie with Egyptians, Mycenaeans, Greeks, etc...)... but (and this is the theory I have) the Greeks called any Canaanite merchant as “phonecian”... and later on, the Greeks simply landed in Lebanon and attributed the land to phonecia. But had they landed in Gaza it Northrrn Palestine, then that land would have been today’s reference to phonecian. I’d love to hear your opinion as well as other viewers. Another question: 1) what are the 5-10 largest Cannanite tribes/peoples, and where did they reside? 2) is it true that Canaanite people are originally from Dilmun (modern day Bahrain?) if so, what’s the story there!

'Hyksos' isn't Greek for anything; the etymology is ultimately Egyptian; it's just that the term came into historiography via its borrowed version into Greek (source: Wiktionary).
Ive been raised Christian my whole life. but this is the first time i thought about how Israel and his tribe would've been looked at by history. Simply put, they would've just been seen as other Canaanites. Abram left Ur and settled in Canaan. Many of his descendants were born there too. There really isn't much separating them from other Canaanites. Which makes even more sense to me why polytheism was such a common practice for them. Fascinating
The father of the Canaanites was Canaan,son of Ham, son of Noah.Other sons of Canaan were his oldest ,Sidon,father of the Phonecians.Sidon ,the city is named after him.Another son, Heth was the founder father of the Hittites.Sin,youngest son of Canaan,became father of the Sinites,one of the people groups making up the Chinese.We still use the word Sino, in Chinese world affairs; example,the Sono/Soviet border disputes in the1970,s, also Sino/Japanese war 1905.
So Moses was n't a semite since one out of his genure is the father of the non- semitic hittites ! Teuto, the benjamin of Moses , should be the father of the Germans . And Meriko, the father of the (A)mericans ! I just invented this as did the authors of the Thorah. Shalom alechem !
Excellent. I would remark that there was a strong Hurrian and Indo-European element among the Hyksos, notably among the leadership. The Hyksos were close cousins of the Kassites and the Mittanni. Very interesting period to be sure.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and your comment. Yes, you know that's an interesting point that I'm going to discuss in another vid on just the Hyksos. Basically has to do with horse burials, found in both Canaan and Egypt. The idea is that perhaps the Hyksos elite were of Hurrian or Indo-European origin due to their skills with the chariot and also these horse burials - or that they were Hurrianized Canaanites. It makes sense as only a few hundred years later, you have the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni clashing with the Egyptians in Canaan...perhaps the Hyksos were a precursor to this? Despite this very compelling hypothesis, the current, dominant theory is that the Hyksos were indeed Canaanites...and there is a good amount of evidence to support this too. Anyway, enough of my rambling...thanks again for stopping by...stay safe!

another great video thanks Cy! The word Hyksos is not from EGYPTIAN origin, this word has derived from egyptian Heqa Khasout (king/leader of foreigners) to greek's Hyksos
Hi, thanks for the kind words and for stopping by! Yes, Hyksos is a Greek word that's now the most common name for them. I think I did say say that in the video around 5:30. But Heqa Khasout I didn't know... thanks for sharing that...love learning more from all of you. More to come, perhaps even a separate vid on the Hyksos...thanks again and stay safe my friend!
Thanks for the video! Always informative. However, there is a minor error at 4:00. “Hyksos” (Ὑκσώς) doesn’t mean anything in Greek. It’s simply the adaptation of the term “Ḥuqaʾ-Ḫaʾsuwat” (vowels uncertain) 𓋾𓈎𓈉 (ḥq3-ḫ3swt), which-in the Egyptian language-means “rulers of foreign lands.”
How do you even find sources for all this? Trying to find RU-vid videos, documentaries, or books on Canaan is nearly impossible unless you want it from a religious perspective. Type in history of Canaan in RU-vid and you get a bunch of Curse of Canaan videos, type it into a documentary streaming service and you get a bunch about the Israelite conquest of Canaan, type it into various book selling websites and get more religious books than one would think necessary for a religion that says it’s truths are self evident. Anyway… just a late night rant after spending about 3 hours trying to find a long video on the history of Canaan.. I need like hour long minimum vids lol

What history? There are no Canaanites for at least 3,000 years. The Israelis defeated them then and they walked down the world stage. Maybe your Hysteria?

hello, in the chronology of the bible, abraham lives between -1812 and -1637. Jacob lives between -1652 and -1532. So if the cannanites came in Egypt in -1900, we arent talking about Joseph just yet, who is supposed to be the son of Jacob
Hi CY.. Great program as usual. You mentioned that the Phoenician alphabet probably developed around the middle bronze Age which puts it around 1900BC tops and then also supposedly adopted by the Etruscans. However this alphabet could not have been borne out of thin air.. At a very mundane level we're all aware that our solar system as well as our galaxy is governed by central spheres of influence. No different to life on earth. Here it's Government and politics I suppose. You know West/East blah blah!! With that in mind I suggest that the 'then' sphere of cultural and linguistic influence was Vinca. This is why I ask that you investigate the Vinca scripts, in your free time, particularly with attention to Phoenician and of course Etruscan alphabets. They're almost identical to Vincan or, lower Danubian scripts, as most Western scholars would prefer to call it, yet Vinca scripts predate Phoenician by three, yes 3, millenia. Knowing this fact would almost certainly amend a very particular portion of the narrative in this story but that said, the rest of this piece is a very interesting account of the Cannanites just the same.
@@ibnyahud I'd say there are differences between all of them, but they're all still in the same linguistic family. As time went on, Neo Punic saw alterations by it's interactions with Numidians, Berbers and so on - though the other ones were not static either for that timeframe.

Weren't Canaan and Egypt (Mizraim) offspring of Ham, and Canaan went and settled in lands which Noah had given to Shem, which is now called Israel???? Can you confirm this????
But the Hebrews never originated in Canaan, Abraham was from the area where Iraq is now, as was his father. He was commanded by god to leave his fathers house and go to Canaan. From what the Bible says, Abraham’s family was a tribal system that migrated, they often met up with other tribes. There are also stories where the tribes of the region would inter-marry and that’s probably why the Hebrews are related to the Canaanite people. Also the sons of Jacob went into Egypt to buy food due to the seven year famine, but since Joseph the prophet was pretty much Vice President of the land, he invited his father and his brothers to live in the land. There were around 70 - 90 people total.
The canaanite were in between 2 great civilisations but egypt was large and presented better opportunities for them.. i believe the ones migrated did create an Assyrian like suburbs or sectors similar to the one found in Anatolia to trade with Egyptians then evolved into towns. As for language.. they had the advantage of being exposed to cuniform and hieroglyphs which perhaps led them to come up with the best of both.. alphabet.
Husam, great to hear from you...it's been like a week but feels longer than that...haha I haven't put out a video for that long so maybe that's why. You know, that's a really good analogy ... Canaanites were to Egypt like what Assyrians were to Anatolia. I never thought of it that way but from what I've studied, I tend to agree, though I think the Assyrians had a lot more status in Anatolia than the Canaanites did in Egypt. Letters from Kanesh tell of how locals preferred their daughters marrying Assyrians because they were supposed to have been very wealthy. I think that most Canaanites in Egypt were more manual laborers, plus the ancient Egyptians also had a superiority complex and probably thought that they were less cultured than themselves. Interesting dynamic though. Thanks again and I hope that all is well in the UK...stay safe!
I speak Hebrew, and it's amazing to me to see and hear this. all the words are almost Hebrew. the alphabet is incredibly similar. "Migdal" literally means tower in Hebrew.
Yeah, it's also an archaeological site at in the northwest corner of Jordan by the Israeli border. Thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it... stay safe!
There's no reason to include biblical references from a book that is poorly plagiarized from a dozen older religions, historic events and people, especially since it doesn't appear in the archeological or historic records until Rome took control.
Im not sure how this came across my mind naturally out of nowhere. But I'm studying from here on out. God said WAKE UP. ALL of this BS in the world. hold on. Open your eyes Now.
Nice presentation and explanation, except for the idea you infused among your words as if a fact spoken of by Israeli Franklenstein that Israelites (mentioned only in monotheistic religious sacred books and not proven neither by archaeology nor stated in any historical record unless misinterpretation as Mernepteh stele or fraud ) but rather Hapiru a title given to workes or labourers that also might not have been a family but rather various ethnicities , were one of Canaanite tribes that was never true though they lived in Canaan of nomad beduin nature as their kins the Arabs , not of that Mediterranean culture , cuisine, beliefs nor folklore.Secondly, not true that Canaanites were people of different ethnicities living on one land ,but rather of independant kingdoms , kings and Chief Gods of same pantheon , same as Greeks that united against one enemy yet might have battles among each other over power or wealth at other times . Thirdly, people of Syria (if referring to Modern terms yet historically incorrect due to misnaming by invaders started by Greeks as have been part of Assyria) correctly Aram the inland or highland whereas Canaan the coastal or lowland were of same people but rather varied in their lifestyles due to geographical influence as proven by both archaeology and genetics and not different , collectively called Ammorites or Westerners as dwelling West of Euphrates. Fourthly, from Canaanite language branched a number of Semitic languages as Aramaic , Classical Arabic ...etc. how can you speak a Semitic language unless you are Semitic and also have semtic features and not Hammitic who were Africans , never in any Pharoanic record were Canaanites , Arameans or Ammorites described as Black nor of African features not even by Hittites , Assyrians , Babylonians , Greeks or Romans, so kindly for objectivety do not use a religious book as that of history or archaeology written by enemies of these people . In reference, if you want to start quoting Biblical/ Talmudic verses within this historical video or any future , you might as well make it a religious channel and change your program title.

For example, I never bring up any specific ethnicity or quote any religious text. I did say that they "were diverse groups of peoples and tribes who occupied the geographic region we identify today as ancient Canaan." That is not something that is contested by most scholars. Remember, we're talking about a time frame of several centuries, possibly over a millennium when people were coming in and out of Canaan (similar to what was also happening in Mesopotamia and Anatolia at the time). You can check the sources I used, there's a link to them in the description. If you have any sources you'd like for me to look at, I'd love to read them. I also was not referring to any particular religious texts. Not once was any Biblical/Talmudic source quoted. All I said was "some religious scholars use such evidence to support their claim that certain characters from well-known Bible stories, such as Joseph, his brothers and their father Jacob, arrived and settled in Egypt around this time." That is true, there are plenty of scholars, biblical or otherwise that make that claim. I'm not saying whether they're right or wrong, just that there are those who make the claim...it's just something that I know many in the audience will find to be interesting and it gives them some food for though. I myself have no religious agenda. Anyway, I admit there are many different views on this subject and no one community will be satisfied with what every scholar says and all of the hypotheses given. That's why we must keep learning as much as we can from as many sources as we can. Thanks again for your comments, I seriously appreciate them because I learn a lot from you all in the audience as well. Stay safe!

@@HistorywithCy First of all, I appreciate your respectable comments and descent appreciation of my reply. After, having gone through this episode and previous one quoted , you surely and clearly mentioned that Canaanites and not Canaan were not a homogeneous nation but rather of different ethnicities , furthermore supporting that with a Biblical/ Talmudic hoax map of Canaan showing The Israelite Tribes settlements , yet later on contradicting your claim by mentioning Early Hebrews i.e. Israelites might have entered Egypt during this time same as Canaanites ( apparently stating they were different peoples) . Accordingly, I reclarify what I stated in my previous reply , if you were to say Land of Canaan or even whole Levant was inhabited by nations of different ethnicities I highly agree with you and support your claim, archaeologists and non-biblical historians whenever require to test the validity of a concluded idea or theory they would refer to its reoccurance or impact in modern times as history repeats itself . Meaning if Canaan the Land were of diverse ethnicities why that's because of its geo-political important presence in trade and crossroad of many empires as is the case of other lands and islands along the Mediterranean , and how valid in modern times - well since then till now Canaan or Levant has had a mosaic admixture of different ethnicities and beliefs comprising the locals/Canaanites - Armenians , Turkmans and Kurds/ Hurrians, Hittites, Mitanni - Iraqis/ Babylonians , Assyrians , Iranians/ Persians and Egyptians/ Pharoahs . Whereas, stretching the list further to conquests and invasions beyond Bronze age to modern times people of Turkic/ Circassian/Mongolian/ Tatarian , Italian , Iberian , Greek and Arab origins also live in Canaan or Levant . Evidently, I support your claim, though refuting yours which is mentioned in this and previous videos that Canaanites are of different ethnicities as genetics have proven . I well be greatly honoured and enlightened if you were to provide me with a mere objective unbiased , non-fabricated geniune archaeological , historical or even better genetic evidence confirming your claimed statement. Lastly, I would like to apologize and clarify for any inconvenience that the fourth point tackled in my previous reply was addressing the below comments in your channel rather than to you in person or your above video. I highly appreciate your enthusiasm in ancient history esp. of Near East and your dedicated effort to reflect upon your audience educating them with your collected knowledge in a interestingly easily assimilated audio-visual presentation , yet kindly maintain a more objective academic transparency of your narration. Lastly, commenting on your ongoing frequently popping non-archaeological/ non-historical based title of Israelites in this or any future episodes of History of Canaan , were never an ethnicity but rather nomads or druids of mixture of nations were they resided holding a cocktail of beliefs but later unified under one monotheistic belief that is attested by their own books , claiming enmity towards any nation of whose land they resided, esp. preventing interbreed with them although their second King i.e. Solomon's mother is Canaanite , and other Israelite prophets were of Hurrians, Aramaic or Akkadians origins. Unlike their kins the Arabs had no clear blood or ethnicity , although of one patriarchal great grandfather Abraham the Hurrian yet being of different races holding diverse vocabs and words stolen from nations and empires they coexisted with as foreigners of their lands . Titles of Israelites even which they held as Hebrews in their books , historically is not entitled solely to them if any at all , but rather Hapiru meant the labourers of Egypt and reflecting that back in modern times the workmen and labourers of any building site are usually Egyptians or Levantines i.e. mostly Syrians and Palestinians never an Israeli . Additionally, Hebrews as per religious scribes meant a collection of nations believing in Moses monotheistic message who crossed the Sea guided by him . Accordingly, the only correct way to define Israelites are nomads of a mixture of ethnicities of a patriarchal great grandfather Abraham of Hurrian origin , of a single religious belief of one family - the family of Jacob/ Israel .
@@kaledcsakra8535 Jews came to be in the iron age and abraham is a jew and a fictional character of post antiquity. Canaanite are the only ones in mass to go to Egypt they were not slaves ever. The first hebrews in egypt were during the assyrian period. The exodus and genesis are purely ans more fiction mythos made up in post antiquity. Not even to be taken with a grain of salt.
@@kaledcsakra8535 not so either even Israel or simply Jews can't take in their Korean or akkadian or Aramaic or even Canaanite ancestry even with that because it would destroy their message entirely thing I hope when is them to be separate different not just biblically what non biblically as well.
Canaanites were ancestry of Palestinians today . Most nowadays jews are Ashkenazi of khazars origin. Search utube. Caspian sea used to be called khazars sea in Persians,Turkish and Azerbaijani maps, some of them until now.
Hi, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I mention that, especially in the previous video. However, as mainly events in the south and relations with Egypt were the main focus of this particular episode, the maps dealt more with the southern Canaan. In future episodes and even in a separate series on just the Phoenicians, I'll deal more with the Lebanese cities of Byblos, Sidon and Tyre. Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Stay safe!
