Such a rich history, thank you.

Thank you for this additional info! So interesting and informative. 👍

I agree with everything except Qadisha is a Phoenician name and was holy since their time

No man, the word is Aramaic and not Phoenician.

YES! True.

It also means "holy" in Hebrew

@phoenician lebanese Phoenician, Aramaic-Syriac and Hebrew as well Arabic are all Semetic languages and one linguistic family. They have common grammer and phonetics, and if one of them talked the other can understand him. They all use Qadish or Qadisha for holy (Quds, Moqaddas, Qiddis in Arabic) as well salam (arabic) shlomo (Aramaic-Syriac), shalom (Hebrew) for saluting. So stop showing ignorance and racism. Qadisha is an Aramaic-Syriac as well can be Phoenician too.

phoenician lebanese I’ve heard this name in the Indian subcontinent

Not only from Islamic times. The Maronites went to the Mountains during the Byzantine Orthodox Christian period, the orthodox Christians use to clash with the Maronites, the orthodox were the ruling class during that time, prior to the Islamic period.

They fled colonialism, who wanted to kill them if they did not enter the Islamic religion or pay tribute BTW And before that's all it just an Controversy in dogma So if you wan know history, You must know it better

chadi azar I think you are not understanding what I said or you purposely ignored my point and are drifting. Yes there were dogma differences, but those differences led to war and violence. Before Muslim armies arrived in the mid 7th century, there was actually battles between Maronites & Greek Orthodox, they pushed the Maronites into the mountains, not all of them, but that was the beginning of Maronite having to be “forced” to live in mountains. But what I find interesting is throughout all the different Muslim empires & kingdoms, the orthodox seemed to live in the Levantine cities with the Sunni Muslims. Seems they got a long. Maybe the Maronites loved war? Also you say tribute? It was a government tax, the Muslims paid a yearly tax also. Also according to your logic, the Maronites didn’t pay tax under the Greek Byzantines/eastern Romans? Lol I think you need to go back and read history, in fact the taxes under the Greek Orthodox Byzantines/eastern Romans was much higher than the tax under the Muslim ummayads & Muslim Abbasids, many European historians attest to this. Also if they paid tax, Christians were exempt from many things, they also had the right to own land, worship in their church’s, they had their own civil courts to judge their own personal religious matters, they were also exempt from military service. Name me any empire in history that didn’t have tax laws or a first world modern country today that has tax laws, what happens if you don’t pay tax? Jail, imprisonments etc

@@finalprophet813 you make me laugh, you wanna make history,as you like it's up to you But for me as a Christian i hate war but if i have to fight i will like my ancestors to keep lebanon as the Lighthouse of civilization In the end you have to learn that Many invaders passed through this land, but Lebanon and its people remained.
