The History of the Canaanites (The History of Israel: Prologue) 

This video took me far to long to make lol. I've been working on it since November, and it's been a lot of work. Thanks again to Soma's academy and everyone else who helped out on the project. (Embarassing Sidenote: I misspelled "Amarna" on the map, as "Armana." I didn't even notice until I was wrapping up editing and by then it was too late, sorry!)

Great job. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.

Bronze age is a really interesting era

Very good video and I'm looking forward to the next episode! Props to reading that quote at the end in Egyptian!

Very cool editing style! And I especially love the aesthetic of your maps. I'm glad to have found this!

Levant yes, Palestine no. This was not considered Palestine back then and the whole area even today isn't. I'm sure you know the origin of that word so I'm not sure why your using it to describe the entire area? Levant would be much more accurate. Calling the entire area Palestine comes across as a bias.

This channel is great. Just subscribed! I wish your videos were longer lol really well done man - thank you!

Great video this first time I learned about Bronze age era now im hooked to it

Love the editing, reminds me a bit of the channel Ancient Americas

Fascinating video. I found you channel because Matt Baker at Useful Charts highlighted your video.

Excellent presentation!!!!

Outstanding!

You should call it the Levant not Palestine. There was no Palestine until the 20th century. The nation of Israel rose up in 3000 to 2500 while the Canaanites declined. 23:38

brilliant, as someone of partial Jewish ancestry this vastly different race and history of one side of my family has always made me curious, as it is so foreign to northwestern European ancestry and history and yet connected both to me through partial ancestry, and it (northwestern Europe) through Christianity and the Bible.

Cool video! Can you do one on how mesopotamian religion fell?

Is there a part two in the works!?

30:00 That's the first peace treaty in history.

Was Canaan (The Levant) ever occupied exclusively by the Hebrews/Israelites?

I love this video , nothing according theological writings but archeological evidences , bravo 👏

Letters from Abdi-Hiba of Jerusalem to Akhenaton of Egypt complain that the habiru were posing a threat to the status quo in Canaan. The Habiru were nationalist rivals who fought against Egyptian control in the Levant. They killed Canaanite Kings and fought for their independence. You can read about them in the Bible at 1 Samuel 23:14. They also were mercenaries. You can read it at 1 Samuel 27:1-12

~36:01 just realized the Pharaoh was named Merneptah, not Merentaph. We are both dyslexic confirmed.

Really enjoyed the narrative and the reliance on archeology both new and old but I propose to you to view all of this and us from a point two thousand years in the future? with present circumstances not withstanding who or how will we view the region then , pretty much the same I believe, nothing concrete as people and their history are much more fluid than simple academic study is how we view them now . Who now controls the narrative that a future searcher will attempt to decipher? Just a thought a bit of food for thought if you will. Write a book. Maybe it will survive? 👍✌️

Great job. I appreciate that you started right at the beginning of human migration to the region. I'm working on a similar project, but my approach is a bit different. It's interesting seeing how other RU-vid educators handle such an enormous topic.

I want the next part! Lol

You nailed this. Kamose and Ahmose I forced out the Hyksos (said to be Arabian and Jewish). The story of those brothers might be “Moses” and the Exodus. As former foreign rulers it would make sense to review the Bible for potential bias, spite, and entitlement of a “borrowed” culture. IMO, this is the importance of the “curse of Ham” that extended to his son Canaan. Meaning, Ham (Africa) extended to Canaan (Palestine / Israel). Again, the potential for men writing with bias, spite, entitlement and enslavement of a group, and supremacy. As an interesting side note, using the Book of Revelation as an astronomical metaphor Jesus’s birthday can be on 9/11. Virgin Mary, Virgo Female Goddess (Constellation, heaven as sky and clothed with the sun and moon at her feet). 9 months after the Festival of Lights (Hanukkah) is September. Light, Sun, Ra. All this very interesting because we are seeing the dehumanization and genocide of “Canaan”, in which 9/11 was used after the Nakba, and the historical enslavement of Africans from French to American (reference paintings of Ahmose I sister-wife). Recap: - “Promised” land of Canaan - Dehumanization of Canaanites for an ethnostate - “Cursed” into Enteral Slavery, Canaan (Ham’s son) - Proto-Canaanite alphabet is the foundation of Hebrew Yes, there was reverence for Egyptian (Kemet) culture that shaped into something else.

I find it a bit odd that even while studying and describing the history of ancient ISRAEL you would refer to the land of Israel as “Palestine”. Palestine was a name given to the region by the Romans specifically to strip it of its Jewish and Israelite identity. Why would you use that name when studying the history of that very people?

Any sequel???

You can not call ancient Canaan or Canaan before Cannan Palestine.It is historical error.Romans called the middle east Palestine in the year 70 after the common era.Palestine included Syria,Lebanon,Jorden Israel,the Franja Gaza strip and the West Bank.

Walking with dinosaurs theme

Sooo... technically that area shoube called canaan not palestine...

Interesting that you continuously refer to the pre-Canaanite region as "Palestine" rather than "southern Levant." A quick Google search said it wasn't until Herodotus, in the 5th Century BCE, refered to it as a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" (Ancient Greek: Συρίη ἡ Παλαιστίνη καλεομένη) in his work "The Histories." He translated from the Hebrew word Peleshet to refer to the Philistines into Palestine, the coast region of southern Levant.

How can it be israel if israel came from yacub interessen

about halfway through, I hope there will be mention of their cultural practices as well, seeing as how that plays a significant role in their history. Such as child sacrifice and temple prostitution

“Ancient Israel”? Never heard of it being referred to that way in a history paper. (This is not a political statement btw before people get too excited)

There was a widespread drought I think sometime in the bronze age

This was very informative thank you. However if you want to avoid being bias I wouldnt use the Roman name of "Palestine". Especially when describing the first humans coming out of africa.

it's so weird, you'r talking for a all video about palastine palestine but i don;t see any palastine on the map

Captivating! Fascinating! Elucidating! GET RID OF THE MUSIC

If you slowed down your talking the immense and great content would be easier to take in 👍

Habiru and Hebrew apparently mean the same thing! They do.

I think that naming the cultures after the places where they are found is a misguided concept in history, because, it places a blind to truly find the origins and maybe even symbols for names in these extremely ancient cultures. Furthering this by hard-core research, we will know nearly exactly the dates of their timeline in human history.

Afternoon

when is part two?

I thought that that cellist part of the world was called judeea

There is doubt there was ever a united monarchy. Just tribal confederations and city states. Then possibly vassal kingdoms of the great powers like Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Assyria, Nubia, Ethiopia etc.

In my view before the kingdom of Israel and Judah there was a tribal confederation with the name Israel that was made up of different groups that came from places like Egypt and Edom the ancient Israelites believed in many gods and deities and Yahweh was a storm deity that was worshiped by the Israelites, he had a wife named Ashera this pantheon of gods and goddesses had come from Canaanites. It is also possible that there was a exodus from Egypt of a small group of slaves led by a man named Moses this Israelite confederation was mix of diverse cultures and beliefs that would merge to from the Israelite nation the concept of Yahweh as the one universal god came later as Israel and Judah became two separate nations and came into contact with other nations which had different creeds and doctrines. The Tanakh as whole was compiled and written over a long period of time the writers were inspired by early myths about the creation and flood which later lead to the creation of the Hebrew bible I believe in science and in a higher power that created everything.

You mention Palestine back to year 2000-1500-1000 BCE Noway but thank you for your time

Aw yis bronze age time

Aaaaaaaah new chicken video 🎉

Examples, at the first sight... aramean features [i.e Yasser Arafat o Menahem Begin, and many stereotypical sepharditans and centroeuropean jews], cananean features [the most in the actual population of Gaza, typical mediterraneans, more of 40% actually], filistean features [more of 20% of actual population of Gaza Strip, with light skin, eyes and hair], negroid precananeans and other african groups subsequent [more of 20% in Gaza Strip], sirian arab [i.e. Mahmoud Abbás] and cisjordanian bedouins [20%], like in Transjordania. Approximately, of course 😊

If you are going to go back to the origins of man, and tell me about the history of Canaan, you need to start with the word of God. That’s where everything began.

comment for engagement

You had everything correct but you instead on calling it Palestine, I don't understand why you call one part Mesopotamia and then called Canaan or the Levant Palestine. You just forced it

Fake story. The Canaanite were black as the black ancient Egyptians (Kemites)

Palestine didn't exist during the bronze age my dude

Palestine 😊 Palestine Palestine Palestine Jesus Christ that was painful

None of you have a clue about the Hyksos. They changed from an Atenism scheme and threw in Yahwehisms.

Everytime you say Palestine you sound like a hack

From the first numbers on the screen, you are wrong. So why watch the rest. I'm sure it is wrong too. Do some actual research, stop spreading your false narrative and propaganda.

BCE, Before Christian Era.

curious why the title mentions Israel? this is the history of PALESTINE

Ignoring the history of the jews in that land does not make them just go away. BTW. Its Palestine till 135AD, When JUDEA was renamed to Syria Palestina by the Roman colonizers

There was no countries. Just kingdoms run by tribes... Be clear with your use of israel

It was called Canaan way before the Jews took over and renamed it Judea and when the Romans took it over, they renamed it Palestine when the Jews protested and rioted. Palestine is a modern term and if you’re going to give us a history lesson, at least give the right name during that time.

There is this constant portrayal of this area as Palestine. That name was given to the area by Romans in a far more modern time. Its like calling it Israel this entire video, yet talking about copper age things. Call it what it was called back then, not a more modern name that does not fit the time period you are describing. This is one of the reasons people are so confused about this area of the world.

Palestine was not known as this until the Romans in 63BCE. There were two Jewish states at that time Judea and Israel.😊

U went from hominids to the copper age? The hominids existed before Adam. They were created by the fallen angels and they existed in NOD before Canaan was ever thought about. The earth was a Pangea(one giant land mass). Noah divided the earth. Ham inherited the Americas, which was a part of Egypt(MIZRI)….Ham gave Canaan the Americas but Canaan went and took Shem’s land. He renamed it after his own name Canaan! He was also double cursed white and to be a servant of servants……u missed a lot of information and u jumped a huge portion of the timeline!

Multiple excuses giving "King" David and his followers to Commit ancient Ge-no-cide during the late bronze age against southern Canaan (Modern day Isr--ael) , taking advantage of a weaken Egyptian empire due to the sea peoples (most probably friends with North canaan = Tyre sidon byblos , the only city states in the eastern med not destroyed by sea people) The Sea people could most probably be a mix of northern European barbarians or Warrioirs + the sailors/traders who dealt for hundreds of years and mingled with Northern Canaanites of Tyre until Arwad to the north = later known as Phoenicians from 1200 BC until Alexander the "Great" destroyed everything and helped the Romans to rule. Anyways so the Old Testament is written in Old Hebrew which Happens to be almost exactly the same as the Phoenician alphabet. So not only they Killed them, they took their language , made it there own ! A true Ge-no-cide Why is it Normal for them to attack and kill with green lights... There is something really wrong here! The Canaanites were the richest most advance citizens of the Bronze age , most probably much earlier as well! They created the Alphabet ! They most probably created the Minoans who mirrored their port cities, castles , tradition , Religion (the Greek Gods evolved from stories told in the Minoan civilization of Crete)which happen to be the same Gods of the Canaanites with dif. names...) The Northern city states of Canaan Geographically isolated by land from Ras Naqoura from the South till Ras Al chaq"aa or The Face of God to the north (Modern day Lebanon North Batroun) made them harder to conquer, so they built really good city walls and looked to the sea , had some advanced Boats (they reached Australia, its filled with evidence of the Phoenicians) became mostly sea people and traders and became very important to control but not destroy because they were THE ULTIMATE middlemen! The Moneymakers of the Bronze and older civilizations.. Other Canaanites were the Brilliant engineers and brilliant individuals that came from humble beginnings and Ruled (without any Bloodshed) in Babylon and Egypt (Hyksos) for hundred of years Hitties-Assyrians Babylonians-Persians-Greeks-Romans-Byzantines-NeoPersians Muslim Arabs-TurcoPersian muslims- Crusaders- Egyptian Muslims- Ottomon Empire in addition systematic 3200 year old attack by the J1 J-e-w-s made the Canaanites thought be really destroyed and instinct! Yes they took everything from the Canaanites because the Canaanites never had Armies of their own, they were peaceful and Brilliant ! Love to share and grow wealthy ,chilled with everyone Hence the J2 Canaanites still live till this day in Lebanon and the Levante, Cyprus, Crete, Greece, turkey, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Albania, Central west mainland Italy , Tunis, Spain, Portugal , Wales. Cant be right to curse someone while Drunk and God will say ok!! I Humbly request Rome to finally release the True full Bible, Let everyone know . Canaanites played the Major Role spreading Christianity , the people of Galilei were Canaanites, at least 10 of the Apostles were Canaanites , Jesus also Canaanite (Lady Mary from south of Lebanon) they talked Aramaic not Hebrew and so on.... Its a pity how they managed to even portray them as baby scarifying monsters with Evil Gods! Baal= just means Lord.... So YEAH! It was Drunk Noah who did the Cursing this resulted to how is happening now!

Man do not come from Africa but "Kumari" Continent which starts from the south of India to down to the part of today's Indian Ocean. It was the land of Tamil people.

Egyptians made Israel

Humanity didnt come out of africa

The period of time you talking about in the beginning. The name Palestine was not even created back then.

Bro this video sucks because you said you’re wanting to be objective yet you’re describing 10,000 years of history with “Palestine”.

you are all cannanite period
