I'm a huge fan of my new white sweater but I noticed after filming this I had little titties sticking out but never fear dear viewer I have since dieted and my titties are already halved.
Also, please enjoy the first in our eight(ish) part series on Lebanon. I know we already released two videos but this is the first that will align to become a feature length one at the end. Hence, the first.

Slight correction; Carthage wasn’t snuffed out after Pompey subjugated what’s now Lebanon, but a roughly a hundred years before Pompey died. The Roman’s would rebuild it into Carthāgō, a Roman colony build upon the ruins of a Punic and Phoenician City, that became quite wealthy.

@matthewgillies7509 Месяц назад

A bit of a detour here, but as a historian I wanted to pass this along: There is a fascinating book by Andrew Lambert called "Seapower States". It details the history of a multitude of historical societies that fit the definition of "Seapower". The Minoans are depicted as one, but the truth of that claim remains to be determined, as often a successor state will claim lineage or influence from another to rationalize their existence. Phoenicia, was seen by Athens as being a successor in that regard to the Minoans as a true sea power, which Athens itself aspired to become---until Sparta said no. The success or failure of a Seapower depends on the neighbours that exist around them, as their principle enemies are invariably the large land empires. The author distinguishes between "Seapower State" and a state having sea power (ie: a powerful navy). The latter is just a manifestation or projection of military might upon the sea, as an extension of the terrestrial and territorial aims of that state. Whereas with a Seapower State everything is about the sea--the sea is their lifeblood, it is the source of their wealth, it is the source of their power and influence, and the whole society is invested and dependent upon it. Sea power is extremely expensive to maintain, and as such these states must have large fleets but often no large armies. The enemies of Seapower States are, as you state in this video, the aggressive and expansionist empires on the mainland. The city of Tyre by being originally an island, maintained some of its independence and maintained its cultural longer than other major cities conquered prior to Alexander's decimation of that city. The Persians needed the Phoenicians as master mariners to project their power abroad across the Mediterranean, and to aid their invasions of Greece. Alexander did not need them. The downfall of Seapower states occurs in several ways: 1. Outside Conquest; 2. Collapse of their Markets or Resource Depletion; 3. Social Disruptions and Changes that undermine their identity and investment in sea power. The author distinguishes several political and national entities that fit the definition of a Seapower, and within the book details what caused their collapse, and largely focuses on Phoenicia, Athens, Carthage, Venice (and some discussion of Genoa and Pisa), Portugal, The Netherlands, and Great Britain. There is also discussion of the mighty trading empires and thalassocracies in what is today modern Indonesia and India, and Japan's halting attempts to become one (and how they undermined this effort by invading mainland Asia). Most of these Seapower States were brought down by external factors, being either invaded or carved up by their neighbours, while Venice lost its power slowly due to the shifting trade markets and were thus eclipsed long before Napoleon finished them off. Whereas the one that collapsed peacefully, Britain, did so because it had shifted into terrestrial domination and bankrupted itself with mainland conflicts, and the final blow occurred when social changes necessitated the cuts to the military to provide healthcare and social services to their society post-WWII. As an aside, despite its massive navy and status as a global superpower, the USA is not considered a Seapower State.

@Ratnoseterry Месяц назад

Thanks for the recommendation, sounds right up my alley 👌

@nhlibra Месяц назад

The book sounds interesting. The U.S. Navy has world jurisdiction under admiralty law. I found that last statement to be quite surprising, whereas the U.S. is not considered a Seapower State. Just the other day, I heard that the U.S. Navy has decommissioned 47 ships. Apparently there isn't enough staff to run them. Drones are taking over in times of warfare.

@matthewgillies7509 Месяц назад

@@nhlibra navies exercise domain over nationally-flagged vessels regardless of their location, hence the worldwide jurisdiction. Other navies have similar mandates, and a few law enforcement agencies as well (ie: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police). The USA is not considered a Seapower State as its navy is not the sole means for it to convey power, nor does the USA depend exclusively on maritime trade, nor the control of trade routes to protect its interests. The US Navy generally functions as an extension of its wider terrestrial agenda (ie: supporting ground asserts, and aiding in the projection of American power). In short, the USA behaves more like one of the land empires of yesteryear, and has historically been at odds with Seapower States. The Washington Naval Treaty signed after WWI was an explicit attempt to weaken the world's only remaining Seapower State (Britain), and to prevent the rise of another (Japan)--or so the author argues in his book.

@koalamanjoe6463 Месяц назад

Such a complex and beautiful, yet marred and violent history of this country. Even today the tailings of these once great empires can be found all over the place. I recall summers in Lebanon exploring the wadis and finding ancient pottery and coins all over the place. Unfortunately Lebanon today is not a country of uniform, progressive ideals and my heritage is what granted me the privilege to explore those places, a privilege that my people would never be willing to grant to foreign historians and archaeologists. And so the history slowly dwindles and withers, like a dying ember being trampled upon by ignorance. My people are not malicious at heart, but they live their days in a state of desperation, and when they can gatekeep ancient history to be able to sell those artifacts and keep food in their children’s bellies, the idealism of historical preservation is not even an afterthought to them.

@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket Месяц назад

@@putra4101 If he was held in Ukraine and treated this way AS A RUSSIAN friendly aligned national and they let him go then honestly, sure that's reasonable. But his treatment in Lebanon was literally a mob on the streets grab him and take him to the police for being a tourist in a country that allows tourists. If Lebanon was in a state of war at the time, ok sure he's an American he might MAYBE be a spy; he is taking a lot of photo's, etc. But the thing is as an American we have certain reasonable standards for our guests. They get the same legal rights we do when it comes to due process. If a police officer see's a middle eastern person taking photo's in new york the day after 9\11 the police department would get rightfully sued for violating the freedom of the press, suppression of free speech, wrongful arrest, etc. The office would get qualified immunity and not be personally responsible but the city would end up paying out of pocket for the unreasonable hassle. If he were caught in a restricted area, if the mob grabbed him for illegally operating a drone, these would all have been more reasonable then what happened. Especially once the police WANTED to release him and had to convince the judge, when there was no reasonable grounds for thinking he was a spy to begin with. If you're going to be open to tourists then everyone has a right to bitch and moan, and whine and complain about you treating them unreasonably for being foreigners. If you're that scared close your boarders to tourists. So how about you quit YOUR bitching about people being reasonably annoyed at how a "government" is run.

I am especially fascinated by the sea people. To be able to overthrow so many powers in the Middle East, southeastern Europe, and Egypt would require not only a lot of manpower but also a lot of organization, weapons, battle carts, and, very importantly, ships. All of these things are the calling cards of an advanced civilization, yet very little is known about who these people even were. I would not be surprised if we find out more about who they were in time, but it may not be in my lifetime.

@RareEarthSeries Месяц назад

My suspicion is that they weren't one people, nor a civilization, but rather a great flood of migrants running from starvation or depredations on the continent. It's easier to understand the collapse if an endless wave of people keeps showing up hungry and desperate when your society is already facing the same issues that sent those migrants your way. But I don't actually have any expertise here.

@meisteremm Месяц назад

@RareEarthSeries That is a reasonable theory, and it could be that they weren't a single people, but given that they came in large numbers, and with many weapons and fleets of ships, I think that just on the basis of what would be required for the logistics behind mass manufacturing and feeding so many people indicates advanced societies. Maybe the answer will become clearer someday.

I think that Jericho is the oldest city in the world, but not continuously inhabited. It was destroyed and stayed empty for a considerable period.

Those people who lived over 10,000 years ago had no idea about how long ago it was. Most felt they were living in modern times.

Your videos are beautiful, full of dense information presented in a rhythmic easy-going manner. I look forward to the rest of your series, but alas, few will grasp the historical and geopolitical context, this is like a grad student seminar; when I shared it with my sister, she liked the cinematography, but she had to say about your commentary was "man can that guy talk". :) Keep up the great work.
