Who were the Phoenicians? Phoenician History 

I aree. I would not really called Hebrews their enemies. They had quite close ties and trade was a big factor between Israel and Phonecian cities. Also some information about for instance currency used in Kingdom of Israel comes from archeological sites in former Phonecia, so sometimes it is other way around.

@Truth prevails Moon is greek too Get the fuck out of here

@Truth prevails According to Greek Mythology, Phoenix came from Phoenicia, not Greece.

The Hebrews weren't their enemies. Where did you get that from? On the contrary - the bible says the Phoenician kings had good relations with the Israelite kings and helped to build their temples.

E B First time hearing this, what is the source and background of this info, i really do not think this is consensus amongs historians.

A comment like this always seems to appear immediately following a Roman conquest of an ancient contemporary.

After the agricultural, industrial and scientific revolutions, it won't impact anyone's life. The British were far more influential as innovators, traders and empire builders. (We're even using their language to communicate.)

How sad alexa play hymn to nikkal

I believe they probably did, and probably made it to Scandinavia too, seeing as it is not that far from Britain who they bought tin from.

They did for sure, this is attested by Egyptian records (the Egyptians paid for the trip) and the most notorious evidence of its truthfulness is something that raised many eyebrows back in the day: they claimed to have seen the Sun to the North at noon. Another great Phoenician (Carthaginian) sailor was Hanno the navigator, who traveled all the way to Cameroon (documenting an eruption of the volcano of the same name) and further south maybe to Congo but didn't find anywhere interesting to trade with so they came back empty-handed. More difficult to believe is their alleged arrival to America based on some stuff found in Brazil (unsure of the details right now) but in any case it's clear to me that if Carthage would have won the Punic wars, America would have been "discovered" by Westerners a thousand years earlier than it was. Those people were real sailors, not like landlubber Romans. As for Scandinavia, it's now clear that Greeks went all the way to that area, so why not Phoenicians whom we know were trading at Cornwall for tin?

@@EpimetheusHistory they were i belive the first outsiders to reach the coast of west africa which is actually pretty impressive considering it was easier to cross the sahara desert that particular tropical region is difficult for sailing apparently greek accounts say that hano the navigator was trading with mysterious men past the pillars of Hercules historians believing those mysterious men to be the sonnike peoples and other carthage accounts of encountering tiny men near what some believe is Cameroon possibly mubuti pygmies en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soninke_Wangara

Necho II of Egypt is the one who financed and sent the voyage

@@LuisAldamiz "they claimed to have seen the Sun to the North at noon". This is probably the most amazing statement I've ever heard about an ancient civilization. How could they have known that unless they had actually crossed the Equator? And how far South did they go? Did they reach the Sinai peninsula from the south? How did they equip their ships? How many people did they contact? So many questions

Manaqa...The motherland of Carthagenians were native black and brown Africans.The Phoenicians were Egyptians.The obvious truths of this history are coming to fuision.In addition native Africans inhabited Carthage long before the Egyptians settled there.

@@matiusbond6052 Native Africans were being hunted by lions, crocs, and hyenas and trampled by elephants lol. Even the people of the land of Kush, the region south of Egypt, were actually just ancient Arabs.

Turkic nationalists do this as well and so did the Nazis to an extent with the whole Aryan thing. It’s not just unique to Afrocentrist circles. Typically nationalists try to claim credit for events they personally had nothing to do with of people they never met to try to make up for their own personal lack of accomplishments in life. It’s quite pitiful really.

@@zyzmys That's wrong the Phoenicians were Canaanites (the Canaanites where descendants of Kham: the son of No'akh) The Ethiopians ain't Shemetic! The Ethiopians are Khamitic! As is also the Somalis. And these "Bantus" that you had mentioned either came from Kham or they came from Shem.... they didn't come from nobody!

I don't see that much of influence because the Iberian Peninsula was romanized to a great degree later (two emperor were patricians born there) and while the Lusitanians kept fighting Romans for some time, the majority of local inhabitants of what would be labelled later as Hispania, were likely to be ethnically Celts. Even after Roman collapse it was the Visigoths who took over, and in general they assimilated more of the local culture, than imposed theirs (for example, they eventually converted from Arianism to Trinitarianism) only with the Muslim invasion, there was a big shift in local culture and language, that not only evolved naturally as Latin did everywhere, but also assimilated Arabic words.

@@Neomalthusiano It wasn't just the Lusitanians who kept fighting the Romans. It took the Romans just over 2 centuries even after the fall of Carthage and Hannibal to subdue and Romanize most of the Celtic and Iberian tribes in Hispania. They lost a few legions in the process. I read somewhere that even the women from some of the tribes in the north charged the Romans never showing their backs to them, preferring to die in battle or even choosing to kill themselves and their children rather than be taken as slaves by the Romans. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-itlWI8Y9-kg.html

edstar83 The Celtiberian groups to hold out longest against Romanization were the Astures and the Cantabri of the North. Caesar Augustus himself had to personally lead his legions deep into the Cantabrian highlands and have his generals bribe the most corruptible elements of the neighboring lowland clans in order to finally put an end to the protracted Cantabrian Wars. (Some of the surviving Cantabri would go on to accompany the Romans later in various campaigns in Britannia.) Interestingly, the Cantabri [still strongly Celtic in orientation and among the least Romanized groups inhabiting the peninsula] were the first Iberian group to be formally integrated into the nobility of the Visigothic court - in recognition of the critical role they played in aiding Don Pelagius’ forces in the destruction of the Muslim horde during the battle of Covadonga. This Celtibero-Gothic union was formalized via the marriage of Pelagius’ daughter to the son of Peter of Cantabria. the union of Don Pelagius’ daughter and the son of Duke Fruela of Cantabria. (They would go on to have an heir who would be formally recognized as the first of king of Hispania, Alfonso I of Asturies.)

Thanks! Ghostface Warrior

sir please please please reply that you will make a video on Rajput of India

I remember watching a video that Phoenician was influenced from the ancient Egyptian language. Not sure if thats correct though.

Indeed! The Ugaritic alphabet comes from proto-sinatic script, which is a simplification of Egyptian hieratic, which is in turn a quick way to write the hieroglyphs. This means that the Phoenician alphabet, and by extension the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic scripts are all descendants of the hieroglyphs!

@Truth prevails Greek mythos was influenced by Egyptian and Phoenician mythos. Hermes being the Greek version of the Egyptian Thoth for example. Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are influenced by the Phoenician division of gods. The Greek language itself derived from the Phoenician script. And for good measure, Greeks suffered from a high rate of sickle cell thalssemia, you'll figure out the significance of that fact later. Just thought I'd include some historical facts to your rant. And please tell us during what Egyptian dynastic period did "Greeks reign in Egypt's forgotten past". Egyptian dynastic records are very clear. Anything pre dynastic would be Ethiopia Sudan region as the ancient Egyptians clearly claim as their origins.

@Truth prevails "Are Egyptian and Phoenician older nations than Greeks"? If you have to ask that you shouldn't be telling anyone anything

@Truth prevails they influence eachother its not that hard to grasp

@Truth prevails not everything is invented by the Greeks.

atleast lebanon is mentioned in the Bible, no mention of the word Kurdistan tho.

But who is this Messiah? One man fulfills all that is required in this passage. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the Jewish world and proclaimed his messiahship 483 years after the decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem was issued. In the year 30 C. E., Jesus was executed by crucifixion. Daniel indicated that he would be cut off, not for himself, but rather for others. Isaiah 53 also prophesied the death of the Messiah, pointing out that he would die a substitutionary death on behalf of his people Israel. The teaching of the New Covenant is that Jesus died a penal death by taking upon himself the penalty of the Law as a substitute for his people. In keepinng with Daniel 9:24, he died for the purpose of making an atonement for sins. Three days after his death, he was resurrected. Finally, the New Covenant proclaims the fact that he will someday return to set up his kingdom and the age of righteousness. If Daniel was right, then Messiah came and died prior to the year 70 C.E. If Daniel was right, then there are no other options for who the Messiah is, but Jesus of Nazareth. If Daniel was right, this Jesus is destined to return and to set up the messianic kingdom.

Yea while studying history in school we refer to ourselves as phoenicians😄

It's not a matter of "still". It's a recent thing. Re-discovery of identity after being carried away by a wave of ethno-narcissism and nationalism inspired from the West and by Zionism. Which competes with Pan-Arabism. All those conflicts are generated by the fact that suddenly after the Ottoman Empire collapsed, people could no longer figure out what to identify as in the Middle East, as suddenly nationalism became popular whereas the Middle East has long lost its language-based, ethnocentric divisions and became divided by a monotheistic religions. Like sure, I am not denying Lebanese are genetically proven to descend first and foremost from Phoenicians but anyways this is an exonym that Canaanites never used, and it kind of betrays the traditional identity which is based on the city of origin. Levantine culture of Lebanon is mostly relatively new (no offence to Lebanese people), with most food dishes only being like 300 years old. But through the dialects, the folklore and the religious practices. I personally got to know quite a few Lebanese Phoenicianist and we even managed to trace back some recipes to traditional Phoenician wine etc. mentioned in the bible. Or vocabulary. We found a lot, and I mean a lot.. 100's of words which exist only in Hebrew and in Lebanese Arabic and in no other dialect. But what's the point of it? Phoenicianism mostly has a Christian Maronite support base, and most Muslim or Druze Lebanese (or even Greek Orthodox) struggle to relate to an ideology which is used to alienate them and see them as enemies from inside. And it's an anachronism, like, you'd struggle to find any person identifying as Canaanite in Middle Ages Lebanon. Simply did not exist. By Late Antiquity they clearly became more pious Christian (and went into conflict against their fellow Canaanite-origin brothers, the Jews, during the early 7th century standoff between the Sassanids and the Byzantines). Just like Jews mostly did not identify as one nation until Zionism came. And naturally Canaanist Zionists also existed, who wanted to scrap religion altogether. But those ideologies are dangerous. They are void of any meaningful continuous cultural connection, and are prone to ending with barbarism. They are weak identities. Nazism allowed such atrocities to be committed because its core theoretical basis of the superiority of the supposed Aryan race was nonsense. In general religion disintegrated ethnicity (if it ever existed) in the Middle East in accelerating rate since Early Antiquity. The ethnic group Israelite disappeared after the Hasmoneans forcibly converted peoples to Judaism, the ethnic Greek identity became highly confused due to Hellenism, and of course a new identity of Arabian peninsula tribes forged based on: climate change.

What makes one an arab ? _are people who speak spanish in latin america SPANISH people ? No they are not. _do you call people who are christians in latin america or the rest of the world Spanish people or roman people , just because they are christians? No. _ are people who are born in mexico or argentina or venezuela SPANISH people ? No they are not. _are people who are born in latin america SPANISH people ? No. I think the world tends to make being an arab as a race . But it is not. I may be an arab but only in the Political Eyes of Nations.

@@Cymduu you didn't answer me why am I an arab.

@@venusmorningstar2462 I am also of Lebanese origin, I live in Turkey, my ancestors are Phoenicians, most people call me Arabs, but I don't mind, you shouldn't have a conversation with ignorant people.

Never call us Arabs! We are NOT! We are Semitic. We spoke Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew, Greek & Latin until the 20th Century!

no Semites, as a race and people only have the language language group bitch biblical nonsense mythical characters

Sam RayI was with you until you said Greek and Latin, what is its relationship with the Semites?

@@user-hw8ng5hq5d he means that they knew and spoke these languages(under Roman and Greek empires/influences) before they even spoke Arab

Yea lebanese people for example are both phoenicians and arabs~

Kind of like a written creole. Not one pure language but a simpler more useful patois script so to write (as opposed to 'so to speak'...

He has done on Israel look it up.

Modern Israelis are ashkenazi from eastern Europe they have nothing to do with old Jewish semite people ! So go fuck yourself ash Nazi

@zzKaboomz z Those who say they are jews but are not.

Ashkenazi Jews are middle eastern jews mixed with europeans

Moderen day Palestine
