Today Carthage is remembered only in the context of its dramatic fall at the end of the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage. We all know about Hannibal and the Battle of Cannae but how about the daily life of Carthage. There is much more to this ancient civilization than the dust and ashes left to us by history. Today we will be exploring the Rise of Carthage and dive into the fascinating details of their civilization.
The history documentary begins by covering the ancient Phoenicians who planted colonies across the Mediterranean. Carthage emerged from this trade network to become the leader of the Phoenicians in the west and eventually come to forge an empire when its mother colony Tyre declined. The history documentary then turns to cover the government, economy, culture, and military of ancient Carthage.

dude your voice made that add way more epic than it had any right to be.
@invicta Yo scipio is pronounced like skipio, you sound like your saying tooth brush in Spanish
Awesome game!
@@cesarmendoza5840 Roman C depending on region could be pronounced as K, S or CH. It's a dead language, and we really can't know for certain how Scipio Africanus pronounced his name.
Good narration, very interesting topic. Background drumming a bit too loud and somewhat distracting. Interesting supportive graphics. Other than my one complaint, all in all a good video. Thank you !
“We shall salt the soil and remove the bricks from the land. No one will remember Carthage” said the romans then they proceeded to never shut up about how they destroyed Carthage.
They say “ohhhh they were slave owners, well first Rome is the one who won’t shut up about owning slaves second, later on Tunisia became the first country to ban slavery
Rome was also a very diverse society. Just because some people want to erase things from history doesn’t mean others do.

only took Alexander 7 months. And he fucking wrecked it. Ghengis Khan would have blushed. All because they wouldn't let him pray at a temple. Killed about 10,000 men at arms, 2000 citizens were outright killed after the fighting, and 10,000 or more were enslaved.

Netflic is shit. HBO would make a better one for sure.
Yeah but they dont want you to know these Carthage guys run the whole world. They want you to think its Roman's. Lol.
The even run China and Iran and got you flanked so they can order the war when they run every side. Great way to run off with all the blonds.
Carthage is the kind of city that's just DYING to have an Assassin's Creed game take place there.
Oh shit I would pay 300 dollars to play with it lmao
With so little known it would be really hard for them to re-create it, especially when they have a reputation for doing it very faithfully like in Unity

What I consider so incredible about Carthage, and Hannibal in particular, is that he managed to pivot the city from a devastating war to an economic powerhouse in such a short time period.
Rome: WTF are you doing in Spain?
Hannial: Paying our dept to you ....
@@jlassijlali290
Also Rome: It's treason then...
ugh.. hannibal didn't actually do that though... so.....
Hannibal’s dad actually did all that. Hannibal took control of the army at 25 after his father’s death.
@@SteveSmith-ty8ko very Alexanderish, no? Dad takes control of State, stream-lines military, abruptly dies, leaving a young 20-year old in charge of Army. Takes the fight to massive nearby empire. Wins battle after battle against all odds. Lives to tell the tale. Many similarities.
i am from modern day tunis, Tunisia and i lived near carthage, (witch is still a small part in the city named like that) you can till this day find some carthagenien monuments like the round huge port represented in this video. and some statues and all kind of archelogical treasures. and this empire still has huge importance to us till this day
In what ways does it have importance for you all today?
@@vladimir8035 Identity and sense of duty to protect history.
@@TheWestIsDead Protect history? True. Identity? What identity? Carthaginian identity? Phoenician identity?
@@TheWestIsDead what identity modern days tunisian have almost nothing in common with carthaginians not even blood.
@@florianb7919 The Phoenicians mixed with native Berbers, especially in Carthage, so they are our (Tunisian) ancestors as well. In fact, scientists have found that as many as 1 in 17 men living on north african coasta have a direct paternal lineage to the Phoenicians (reported in NY Times)
Also, there is clear etymological proof that the old Phoenician language merged with the native Tamazight language.
Our country is FULL of old ruins and pieces of history, OUR history. Of course it makes us want to protect it. Our country's history is a part of our identity.
If Carthage means New City, does that mean that Carthago Nova in Spain means New New City
Yeah. But the Romans called it that. Carthaginians just called it Carthage. Same name as its mother city.
Yes.
I mean... Napoli ,former, Neapolis didnt sound weird but it also meant new city
Constantinople at one point was unofficially called Nova Roma
And Cartagena de Indias in Colombia means New New City of India...
May the glory of Carthage shine eternally. May Peace and prosperity bless my beloved country Tunisia.
Amen Baalhamon!
Baalhamon
Amen bro
@Man Antom because the government/Magonids were stupid and abandoned Hannibal
@Man Antom they burned only the city or the capital and for jealousy from it's prosperity!! to bring anther empire that taught people to watch lions eating slaves while waiting for some pieces of bread to finally bring some Religion to give legitimacy to it without forgetting they basically stole culture from the Greeks and Carthage to build their own, heck even their Fleet they literally copied it from Carthage without founding the wrecks of the destroyed punic ship, they Romans wouldn't even exist or either crushed by southern Italians tribes!!!!
@Man Antom no man i wasn't talking about Kerkouan !!! that small city is considered valuable now for historians just because it remained intact from the Romanization, but what i was talking about the whole territory of Carthage: this map: www.ducksters.com/history/africa/carthage_map.gif
is what Carthage covered the city in what is now Tunisia was the first city and turned into the capital of the punic territory
that map is around the second punic war!! when CARTHAGE LOST IT after the war, people inside that territory didn't vanish they basically maintained their culture!! there is a difference between Tyre city in Phonecia and Carthage!! Carthage was basically an empire not the case in Tyre before centuries as a small city yet connected to a network of commercial colonies!! so the Carthaginians in that whole area didn't vanish because Romans killed everybody in the city!!! plus some survived from the city, and others enslaved, etc like in every war!! basically, it's like saying the Germans killed all the jews during the Nazis era which is not the case millions of jews survived around the globe!! or like all Americans are massacred in a parallel universe just because some country invaded Washington DC and killed all the population the same case here!!! the Spaniards or here it's more like Iberians were CARTHAGINIANS !!! ROME didn't massacre them!! they just got Romanized the same as the others in North AFRICA!!!! they survived, got Romanizedthen got Arabized and so on
and btw they got envy for sure: the Carthage must be destroyed was said by the senate after he visited the city of Carthage and saw it's prosperity and knew how it will cause Rome big trouble no matter how much they lost during the previous war!!! Rome stole everything from Carthage to Greeks to add to its culture even the fleet itself, Romans copied from Carthage literally after finding a wreck of a destroyed punic ship !! but that's History anyway Carthage came long before ROME and it fell so did Rome later on and other empires!!! they rise and they fall eventually
I love Carthage very much. It was the first civilization I fell in love with. They rose side by side with Rome & fought till the bitter end. I see a Carthage as a runner up for what Rome became.
You from Italy ?
As much as Rome claimed to destroy Carthage, the truth is that Rome *became* Carthage. Rome learned from Carthage everything necessary to form an Empire: command of the sea, good generalship, diplomacy, commercial mastery. After the Punic Wars, Rome flourished to become a wealthy, multi-cultural society that Carthage once was; and the greatest Roman generals drew lessons and inspiration from Hannibal Barca- a man who was once their greatest enemy. The Romans boasted about destroying Carthage because they were too proud to admit how much they learned from them.
@@MarvinT0606 pride is the most dangerous thing
Rome couldn't hold Carthage's banner! All that was Rome was Kart Haddaush first... All Rome did was adopted everything about Carthage...
@@paparage2.027 Yes and no.
Amazing how Carthage was founded as part of a recovering civilization that struggled, bloomed and died practically before history was being recorded as a concept. And before them, the Minoans and Mycenaeans had already passed the same cycle, while Egypt abides all. No fiction has expressed anything as fantastic as human history.
And I enjoyed the Tunisians I had the privilege of meeting who carry the history forward, when they can have open arms to let the rest of the world understand the length and complexity of their history.
As a Tunisian myself it really bothered me in the past how Carthage was immensely underrated, now i feel like it's starting to receive the attention it should have had and people have started to "give a shit", not just the punic wars, but Carthage as a Republic who explored the New world centuries before Colombus or the fact that they formed the first "special forces unit" in history and so many other wonders that rome erased from the world history.
So until i see visitors flocking into the ancient remains of Old Carthage before rushing into the resorts in Tunisia would i then know that Carthage's glory is still appreciated by the rest of the world. Greetings from a Carthaginian born and raised :D.
Tunisians are arabised berbers thinking they're Arabs, just like they were phoenicized berbers, that became punic. Basically native North Africans that never had a reason to stick their nose in world politics untill a foreign culture came giving them a reason to utilise their potential instead of petty vendetta between tribes. If that makes any sense. (At the cost of loss of local /tribal identity?) The cycle repeats.
If you look back at human history it’s actually way deeper & amazing than any fictional writing or film. Human history is so vast that almost everything you could imagine has already happened to some group of people or someone.
@@baam8014 It is more accurate to say Tunisians are Arabs who mainly descend from Arabized locals.
@@user-sx1mm1sl6u They are culturally arab, but they are still without a doubt the descendants of the punics as they didn't just disappear but simply continued interbreeding with the berbers.
WOW, the art in this video is just superb!
I also think that you picked the best possible narrator too!!!
I am super excited about this topic and exploring it in far more depth! The narrator was a GREAT pick and they were actually chosen by community vote a few weeks back so I really have to thank you all.

Modern Tunisian had nothing to do with Cartage.
@@dejavucmail8176 Most Carthagians were Numidians(Mazig,Imazighen)later called Berbers. Most Tunisians are of Berber Origin by DNA. Modern Day Tunisia is also geographicly almost the same as the old Carthagian Empire.
@@Phoenizier1995 No they are not, they simply just residing on ancient Carthaginian land and that's all. Just like Iraqi are not Sumerian, modern Egyptians are not ancient Egyptian that build the pyramid.
@@Phoenizier1995 Lol they weren't. Carthage and Numidia were enemies actually. Numidians often allied with Romans against Carthage. Arabs conquered North Africa way later during Islamic conquests. Phoenicians were not Arabs buddy.

Idk I miss the old guy... one of my favorite things about this channel was his quirky narration. Really made the channel stand out from the other history channels on youtube.
@@fishsnapz5501 yeah, felt like he was personally knowledgeable. Made it fun. Made it work well while driving but could not fall asleep to it. New guy is easy to fall asleep to so, win for commercial watching.
@@tsriftsal3581 He's still around. The old narrator is the guy who is running the channel.
@@fishsnapz5501 pretty sure invicta the guy who has voiced literally all his videos will still be voicing his videos. It's just this little series. Which I think benefits allot from a professional narrator.
I am very excited to kick off this new series on the history of Carthage! The new narrator was actually selected by community vote and has done a fantastic job. You'll also notice the awesome new illustrations and animations courtesy of of our partner Penta Limited. Stay tuned for more episodes on the history of Carthage and daily life in its civilization!
You also need to do Tyre. This would be truly epic
I always loved the design of the Carthaginian harbor.
Beautiful and efficient.
It was beautiful, but efficient? The military ships should have their own exit and entry into their part of the harbor without having to go through the civilian commercial part which can be busy and delay deployment of the naval ships.
Wow, this is one of the best history videos I've seen. The effort put in this video speaks for itself. It's amazing content!
Shall we just talk about the production quality reached at this channel? This is better than many documentaries produced by main-stream media giants. It's hard to imagine the amount of work that goes into this. A million thanks Invicta.

Wow, guys, thanks for the video! I've been fascinated by Carthage for a while , and have been unable to easily find a description of it that isn't viewed through the lenses of the Punic Wars. Really great content, please keep it coming! Also, I agree with the others, the narrator is great! Well paced video as well.

Roman historians praised Cartagean strength and ingenuity. All we know about Hannibal and other generals came from them, including the battle of Canae, perhaps the biggest defeat in Roman military history.

Made my day! Great work Invicta! Cool narration
According to founding myths, Mycenean Thebes also was a Tyrean colony. Founded by Cadmus who brought with him the alphabet while searching for his sister Europe.
What if... What if... Atlantis was a colony of Phoenicia? They traveled all along the south west and north west of the Atlantic to look for slaves and tin... So what if the ancient site of tichit was the entry port to the eye of the Sahara... A naval Base that looks alot like Carthages.
@brmbly you are entitled to your opinion but I wholeheartedly do not believe that the primary source of history at this time would use his reputation to create a myth. If the ancient city of Troy could be discovered, if the lost city of Avaris could be found then I believe Atlantis is well on its way to being discovered.
@brmbly my argument still stands...if two lost cities thought to be nothing more than "literary devices" can be found in the modern age then I don't doubt the validity of Atlantis being discoverable as well.
Cool. Another edgy child that likes to spit on and call any generation before him barbarians.
There is an incredible amount of evidence that points to the existence of atlantis or at the very least a maritime power situated inside the atlantic sea that it is ridiculous to write off the idea.
@@rosalyruiz1 imo Atlantis is the Egyptian version of the Troyan war. Before 600 BCE the pillars of Hercules were used to indicate the bay of Laconia, not the strait of Gibraltar. The 9000 years they speak of are most likely lunar cycles because there were no official solar calendars back then. The late bronze age collapse turned the region into piracy and plunder ushering in a centuries long dark age. Egypt was the only mediterrean civilization that managed to survive and keep official records of what happend during this time perdiod.

The utter destruction of the city of carthage is one of the greatest crimes against humanity and it's memory. Such a marvel reduced to rubble , what a lost.
Mat 37 CARTHAGO DELENDA EST
nah bro, she was rebuilt around post-Roman conquest , in fact, Cartage was the second or third biggest city of the Empire after Rome or Alexandria herself.
They sacrificed children to their Baal. They deserved destruction. Later, Rome would deserve destruction for murdering Jews and Christians who refused to bow to the conceited and crazy emperor.
BARBATVS 89 Lol for a satanic worshipper you really sound crazy. Everyone has an ancestor that killed another person or more. Even before any civilization existed, humans have killed one another. Why do they deserve more to be destroyed? Why not every human being instead?
@@AlithAnar I'm not satanic. You pull that accusation out of your ass. Since you're a libtard who pretends all cultures are equal, why not sacrifice your kids to Baal, or did you already abort them?
Every time i think of classical / ancient civilisation it always blows my mind, I just cant get my head around it.. Like, wow.. just wow
The background music actually goes HARD. Love this channel!!!
Top notch documentary ! Also the music from 7:30 to 12:20 is a real banger, is it available to listen somewhere ?
I, too, need a link to this percussion-based music.
Me too
Commenting here in hopes for an answer. I asked about another music on another video but never got an answer.
Me too comon guys somebody knows this :)
Commenting for answer
I really like the new stile of video, however the „sunshine“ which blinks over the screen all the time is, in my hounest opinion, quite annoying and made it hard for me to enjoy the Information!
Otherwise, great work!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll be passing it on to the team
@@InvictaHistory I like the light leaks
Maybe every now and then as a cut-away to another scene or something like that might still be pretty cool, just not as constant hahaha
Loved to see the narrator I voted for in action, was a pretty good one
They ridiculously overuse the feature. Use it once before a transition.... It's excessiveness makes me look away from the screen and want to turn it off, just like JJ Abrarams' Star Trek
That's not sunshine, but the aura of Carthage.
this is such a nice video, the voice over, the graphic transition, PRO STUDIO quality!!!
I understand the amount if work you must put in these, thanks for the upload, we'll done!
Libyan: you can have the land available from this ox hide.
Dido: ok (proceeds to cut ox hide to pieces THEN stretching it across)
Libyan: you weren't supposed to do that
Dido: Ey, you said I could have that land.
Someone says the name "Dido" and they will think either:
1. Phoenician founder of Carthage.
2. a dildo.
3. A singer.
@@barbatvs8959 4. An Azur Lane girl.
@@nerobernardino88 Fellow commander spotted.
you mean tunisian
The history of Carthage is SOOOOO needed and yet so sparse! I'd love it if you could include/mention Plautus' play "Poenulus" in future videos--it's from the fifty year period between the Second and Third Punic War, and seems to recommend that Romans think of the Carthaginians as real human people with needs and wants and loves and vices that should be INVITED as neighbors into the Roman world. Instead, Rome ended up eventually finding a BS pretext for a third and final war, destroying the city and enslaving everybody.
damn, this video was freaking good and informativ. keep up this formidable work.
