Who were the Phoenicians?
Note: the purple areas displayed on the larger map of the mediterranean are intended to show areas of Phoenician influence, and areas in which the Phoenicians conducted the majority of their trade. I realise now that it may look a little like a traditional 'empire', which is not the intention!
Usually noted for their thalassocratic state - that is, a state with a primarily maritime empire - the Phoenicians built an expansive and complex trading network that stretched the length of the mediterranean sea, not only facilitating exchange across the region, but becoming fantastically wealthy in the process.
However, there is far more to the Phoenicians than their mercantile ability. Phoenician craftsmen produced outstanding works, including exemplary glass products, and the prestigious dye known as Tyrian purple, worn by elites throughout the ancient world. Their trade empire arguably laid the foundations for the cultural exchange across the mediterranean and near east which would form the basis of Classical Western Civilisation, of the kind we most readily associate with ancient Greece and Rome. Perhaps most impressive of all is the Phoenician alphabet - the oldest known consonantal alphabet in the world. It is from this alphabet that some of the most widely used alphabets in the world derive - the Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic alphabets appear to all owe their existence to the Phoenicians, as their incredibly convenient and easily adapted alphabet was spread around the mediterranean through their trade empire.
There is so much more to the Phoenicians than you might think, despite the relative lack of sources. Their influence was enormous, their rise to power rapid and impressive, and the echoes of Phoenician civilisation can even be spied today. Hopefully you get some sense of this in today’s video, as we try to answer the question: who were the Phoenicians?

Who were the Picts?
zhlédnutí 126KPřed 2 měsíci
The term ‘Dark Ages’, while really intended to refer to the supposed cultural, economic and social decline of Europe in the centuries following the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, is quite apt in another sense - the period can be described as ‘Dark’ because, for certain geographical areas, it is rather difficult to work out what exactly was going on. It was into this slightly mysterious p...
Who were the Suebi?
zhlédnutí 227KPřed 4 měsíci
Imperial Rome - a familiar topic, which many of us apparently think about with great regularity. The empire is well known to us, and well defined: However, what is less clear to us is the world beyond Rome’s borders, particularly in those regions where there lived so called uncivilised ‘barbarians’. One name can be seen with great regularity in the Roman sources concerning these lands: Suebi. I...
Who were the Pechenegs?
zhlédnutí 132KPřed 6 měsíci
The medieval Eurasian steppe is a rather confusing place, for several reasons. The first, is that it played host to an ever shifting patchwork of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples, whose various wars precipitated large-scale migrations at various points. Another, is that these peoples, by and large, left very little (if anything) by way of written sources by which we can identify them. The Peche...
The Evolution of CONSTANTINOPLE
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 9 měsíci
I could never find a video which gave a concise overview of the city of Constantinople itself, which might explain how its physical structure bloomed in the early medieval period, how it developed over the successive centuries, and how it waned before the final defeat of the Byzantine Empire in the 15th Century. This video is an attempt to do just that. Naturally, a video of this length could n...
Nestor Makhno: Anarchist, Revolutionary, Legendary Ukrainian
zhlédnutí 10KPřed rokem
The aftermath of the Russian Revolution was a chaotic and bloody time - from 1917 until 1922, civil war consumed the former Russian Empire, as competing factions vied for power. One of the lesser known participants was a movement of Anarcho-communists who came to exert control over vast areas of southern Ukraine, led by a man named Nestor Makhno. This Ukrainian revolutionary, born into a family...
How Barbarian Invasions ended the Western Roman Empire

In the year 406 AD, a large group of Barbarians crossed the Rhine frontier into the Western Roman Empire, leaving a trail of sacked cities in their wake. In this video, we explore the reasons for this large scale migration, the immediate effects of this upheaval, and the disastrous consequences for the Western Roman Empire.

Hereward the Wake - The Anglo-Saxon Guerilla

From the marshy wetlands of the East Anglian fens, Hereward the Wake led a desperate Anglo-Saxon rebellion against the rule of the Norman King, William the Conqueror. This is the story of Hereward, a Saxon nobleman who went on to embody English resistance to Norman oppression. This mini-documentary gives a brief overview of Hereward the Wake.

How Byzantine Monks Stole Silkworms From China
zhlédnutí 4,7KPřed rokem
The medieval Byzantine Empire was well known for its production and use of luxurious silk, but until the mid-6th century Byzantine artisans were forced to import raw silk from China - an arduous journey which made silk incredibly expensive. It was during the reign of Justinian that the Byzantines ended the Chinese monopoly, and began to produce their own raw silk - the tale is a semi-legendary ...
How Was Female Sanctity Constructed In Late Antiquity?
zhlédnutí 835Před 2 lety
Saint Genevieve’s gender had a marked effect on the way her sanctity was displayed in her hagiography (hagiography is a biography of a saint), particularly when we consider contemporary male saints and their Vita. (vita is latin for life, and forms the title of most medieval hagiographies - for example, ‘vita genovefa). It is important to first note the context of late antique female sanctity -...
What Impact Did The Imperial Court Have On Byzantine Art?
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed 2 lety
The Macedonian dynasty of emperors oversaw something of an artistic revival in the Byzantine empire, which some have even branded as a ‘renaissance’ for its ‘new range of expression and an increasing technical virtuosity’. Use of the term ‘renaissance’ immediately invites comparisons to the later Italian renaissance and whether or not this period of Byzantine art is worthy of such a comparison ...
What role did the Pechenegs play in Byzantine foreign relations?
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 2 lety
The Pechenegs, a group of steppe nomads who came to prominence in eastern Europe in the 9th and 10th centuries, were crucial to the balance of power in the northern Byzantine world. The image that contemporaneous sources give us is of a fierce and dangerous warrior-people, formidable in battle and feared and respected by their neighbours in equal measure. Indeed, both the Rus princes and the By...
The Khazars - Jewish Turkic Nomads Of The Eurasian Steppe
zhlédnutí 241KPřed 2 lety
The Eurasian steppe has been a fractious region throughout much of history, but it has also given rise to some of the largest and most powerful political empires ever known. The early medieval period was no exception, as an endless variety of tribes and nations struggled to assert their dominion over the vast plains and grasslands. Against this backdrop, the Khazars emerged north of the Black a...
The Byzantine Economy Explained (Briefly)
zhlédnutí 29KPřed 2 lety
The Byzantine Empire inherited an incredibly advanced economy from the Roman past, complete with a functioning bureaucracy, tax collection systems and wide ranging trade links. This economy remained extremely powerful throughout the medieval period - however, demographic changes, combined with a series of crises including the disastrous Fourth Crusade, saw the Byzantine economy dwindle to a she...
The Christianisation of Anglo Saxon England

When the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain, they brought with them Germanic paganism.

This is the best CZcams offering on The Picts. It is, however, nearly spoiled by the (otherwise impeccable) narrator's gross mispronunciation of moRAY (for MURRay) and dalriADA (for dalRIada). Worth correcting.

I have read that there is a theory that Israel means The Land of El, the ancient Phoenician god, with the idea that El was the one true god. Is there any support for this?
Theocratic does not mean maritime. That is sheer nonsense. Nothing that follows such an example of ignorance can be worth the time.

Jews are the circumcised hearts that make up Israel in all nations: From Abraham to King David, Jews come THROUGH nations because the JEW is not a physical being but the HEART that finds its way to HASHEM: both Christianity and Judaism teach repentance (teshuvah) but neither of them truly grasp the meaning of it and this is the whole problem: Repent is an injunction to the SOUL alone, for it is written, Esau (the physical part of us, the DONKEY) can not repent even if he seeks it with tears: Esau (hairy) is the physical part of us or what Christianity calls "the flesh", the carnal mind, the ENMITY with God (Hashem) that is also the seed of the serpent, the false prophet who doesn't know God or the things of God: So who or what is the SOUL that MUST repent? Jacob, his twin, but the PART of us that can and MUST DO TESHUVAH, to receive the birthright, which is the ANOINTING or the Christ in Christianity: Esau can not become anointed because only the SOUL can be anointed by the YACHIDA (only SON) the SEED OF the woman, the seed of Abraham, the seed of Hashem he put against the seed of the serpent within us all: Those who repent, who return to God by CLIMBING the ladder (rapture) seeing God face to face to LIVE (resurrection from the dead), are the TRUE AND ONLY ISRAEL who knows their "KING" (Hashem) and his HOLY ANOINTING, the Messiah within them: The donkey can not repent but JUDAH, JUDAH the Praise of YAH, (son of David-JESUS) , he rides the donkey (physicality) to Jerusalem, the HOLY CITY within us: This Jerusalem is not the physical city that doesn't even know Hashem, but this city is a heavenly city that is the city of the KING HASHEM and his HOLY ANOINTED no matter where they LIVE IN THE EARTH which is the LORDS and the fullness thereof: These people are not soulless but they GAINED their soul by rising above their Esau, and they are the TRUE JEW and the TRUE CHRISTIAN (Ephraim/double fruit, ash heap) because Christianity are the TEN EXILED tribes of Israel who must JOIN to Judah in the last days to become "ONE": Today, Israel are scattered, exiled and they think their donkey, their ESAU is Israel but it isn't: Esau can not receive the anointing, only the SOUL Jacob (smooth) can and MUST supplant him, rise above him and JOIN HEAVEN TO EARTH, by the KING OF ISRAEL, the KING of the JEWS, which is the "GOOD WILL, the GOOD ROOT" of the LAST ADAM (MAN) who is resurrected by Hashem's holiness, his ANOINTING, so the HEAVENS DECLARE HIM on earth and the arm of the LORD is revealed clean to the SOUL (ISRAEL IS ONE AS HASHEM IS ONE) that becomes the LIGHT of the WORLD: This Israel must MANIFEST with their King named son of David, son of Man/Adam, and son of God, Yachida, his seed that transforms us from a creation that is groaning, waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God: Find this ISRAEL and you FIND PEACE (SHALOM):
But the muslims are also all circumcised...
Very interesting. A little drawn out though.
Just a slighlty mistake, stop propagandism the phoenician alphabet that was the 1st written and other languages took it.. If it was so good as the 1st alphabet then why is not anymore considered a phoenician laguage or alphabet? why did it stop progressing? Phoenicians as you mentioned were very good traders and of course "culture-thieves" as everybody in the area knows, so it was very easy for them to gain symbols etc, and provide an alphabet as their... Minoans took many symbols to their Linear A-B but Phoenicians indeed, vice-versa...
The merchents of Venice are Phoecians and Tuscany are Eretruscians Erets means red sea which they are trying to take right now

The Mayan alphabet pre dates the Phoenician and it has a striking resemblance to Mayan script. The Phoenicians are from the Americas not the Med. The earliest proto Phoenician script is found in The Americas

This is where these occultist get their story of the Phoenix rising from the ashes from the Phoenicians. They use phonics, false words that sound similar to other words based on the English language. The so called kabbalah word magicians and their name magic use phonics to lie and terrorize the world with their crimes. Lucifer wants its witnesses dressed in Ashes, always the news media interviews it's witnesses for its crimes. That lucifer wants the world burned down into ashes so that it can rise. Tyre is a part of Phoenicia along with these merchants who sell flammable petroleum products. Vinyl siding, synthetic carpeting, liquid adhesives, plastic electrical boxes, linoleum flooring, they have designed new houses to burn down quickly building them close together to catch eachother on fire. Watch some house fire videos and see how quickly these new houses are engulfed. Ashes. Now, you remember the holocaust don't you, look at where israel is now. In Phoenicia with the Phoenix and the ashes. World War 3, and Armageddon and all the nuclear war which these spirits had planned, they are obsessed with fire, they are obsessed with the word incinerate, having to do with sin. Beltane, and butane and fire and these fire gods. They want the world to burn into ashes in which they think they will rise like the Phoenix. Ashley furniture, Kohls, Coals, Sears with searing heat, stain master carpet burns away the stain of these humans from its master, lucifer. The petro chemical world of petroleum based highly flammable products. The dead spirits of Tyre, the merchants of death and their obsession with fire, and Greek fire and Greek tragedy and terrorism like 9 11 from Revelations 9 11, the destroyer. Nuclear weapons and chemicals, the holocaust, the nations surrounding ancient Israel and the Amorites and Molech where they made their children pass through the fire in honor of their God's Molech and Chemosh. Chemosh and chemical and alchemical and petroleum. Napalm in their palms, thermobaric bombs, powderized aluminum and chemical bombs. These spirits of the dead who have controlled the earth and their alchemy, their chemicals, their gun powder, their explosives have made terrible plans against mankind in preparation for taking over the earth for their New World Order with their Tyre, and their Merchants. Lucifer will not rise, nor will they succeed, they are caught and exposed. That is the Ancient Phoenicians who moved into Italy, into Switzerland, into England, into New York along with Tyre who control weapons and manufacturing and trade and petroleum and commodities. X on, the Greek P, the prince of Greece and grease to grease everyone out. Grease is not the word, the prince of Greece is not the word, but a false word, using phonics to deceive the world. These spirits are real along with these ancient peoples and their gods so that the world must be careful with itself and learn to be careful with itself. It is serious. LLXIIX77
Highly accurate in a field of constant error and speculation Well done
easily my fav history channel. so ambient i love it
Europeans, what have you done to your generations stealing history by changing names of people and tribes and placing such where it doesn't belong to? There is a reward for every human action. Sadly for you, this history comes from the Land of the Gods and belong to people of that bloodline, as the so-called land of Canaan. Woe onto you!
The bible is not historically accurate and was written with a lot of anti-gentile bias. So you can't really take anything there as factual.
The trade that time, was controlled solely by Arabs and Phoenicians. Arabs in land and southern seas Phoenicians in the Mediterranean region.
Lebanese, regardless of region or religious sect, are mostly Levantine and not of Arab ethnic origin at all. Recent studies show that most of the genetic makeup of today's Lebanese is shared with the original Phoenicians and Canaanites of the region, the ancestors of the Lebanese.
Arab is not an ethnicity. we are called Arab Mustariba "Arabized" for a reason (including the majority of Arabs in the peninsula Aka Ishmaelites descendants of Ishmael who was a Canaanite and the first person to speak Arabic according to Arabic cultural tails BTW ) Arab from root A Ra Ba which means comprehension and historically its strictly a linguistic identity and the opposite is Ajam which was used for all "foreign speakers" Phoenicians are Canaanites in ancient Greek language. genetically the entire levant are very closely related except some Christian groups especially in Lebanon and Palestine who had a lot of European admixture when the crusades came.
Bruh, the Phoenicians were Arabs. No matter how much you cope and deflect, you will always be seen as an Arab in western lense.
Subscribed. Production quality is excellent and minimalistic
A disgusting religious people who ATE their babies!!!!!

Phoenicians gives alphabeth to greeks and other ancient tribes, and not just that... Roman and especialy greek civilization relies on phonencian pilars...
The Abrahamic God El is a cannite diety. 😂 all the way down to the nation of Israel. ( Isis ra el) wake up people
You forgot to mention that they were black civilization.
Today I learned that: 1. Semitic alphabets are derived from the Phoenician alphabet. 2. The Greeks under Alexander used crucifixion before the Romans. 3. Phoenicians had a city-state partial democracy. 4. Phoenician city-states were gradually eroded by continual invasions. It's rather sad that they brought wealth and value into the region but were beaten down time after time. Then again, rulers are rarely concerned about the people the conquer.
Can you do a "Who were the Gaetuli" ? Obscure Berber people mentioned by the Romans.
