      @@thedstorm8922 "At about 16:40 on 9 April 1942, the Luftwaffe dropped three bombs on the church, and two of them deflected without exploding. However, one 50 kg (110 lb) high-explosive bomb pierced the dome and entered the church, where a congregation of more than 300 people was awaiting early evening Mass.
      The bomb did not explode, and a Royal Engineers Bomb Disposal unit defused it and dumped it into the sea off the west coast of Malta. This event was interpreted as a miracle by the inhabitants, and a similar bomb is now displayed in the sacristy at the back of the church, under the words IL-MIRAKLU TAL-BOMBA, 9 TA' April 1942 (meaning "The Bomb Miracle, 9 April 1942")."

    So far I've been to 19 countries and only one outside Europe - Tunisia. That was way back in 2008 and 2009. It's still by far the most memorable trip I had - first love, ruins of Carthage, camel ride, Kairouan mosque, dune buggy ride through the Sahara, Sidi Bou Said, and so on. I was really sad to hear about the struggles and hardships the people had to go through after 2010. I will always remember them as very hospitable, polite, kind, cheerful and knowledgeable. I really hope to return to Tunisia eventually. Much love from Serbia.

      I knew you were from Serbia haha here's another fun fact about the bond our countries have: during the balkan wars a lot of Serbs took refuge in Tunisia after being evacuated by the French (Tunisia was under french rule at the time). And many of those were hospitalized here, especially in the town of Benzart where a lot of Serbs chose to stay there. And today you can still find the Serb Orthodox Church that they have built for the community and they have been a part of Tunisian society since! 😁

    As a Tunisian the episode is great despite some inaccuracies, the represenation of Tunisia is excellent but i think what makes a Tunisian a Tunisian wasn't quite represented accuretly and that's understandble since the country has tons and tons and tons of history the video will be longer and some parts are complexed.
    some inaccuracies are :
    1) La Galite جالطة and les Canis (2 islands) جزر الكلاب are two different islands in the north.
    2) there are other variants of Kosksi considered as classics as Kosksi bel l7am (Meat typically sheep) and Kosksi bel 3osben ( with sheep stomach wrapped in intestines but some governorates do it differently you can find it mainly in the Sahel region (Sousse or Monastir and their suburbs)
    3) as a Tunisia i've never seen a Ski resort in Tunisia. (Yes we get some snow in some northwest parts of the country) but i don't think there is a fully-fledged resorts for that.
    Overall, despite some true interpretations like the identity crisis, The complexed and chaotic political strucutre and enviorment in the past 10 dark years etc..
    I genuinely liked the video.
    there is more of Tunisia than this but good effort on the episode, it's not easy to find stuff about Tunisia and Barbs come to Tunisia one day and explore it personally.😁

      Another thing, maybe there's no "an actual tribalism" in the coastal regions but it exists strongly in the southern parts and in the western mountains near the Algerian borders.
      Also the some words like "sabbat" it's actually an arab word not Spanish since almost all arab countries use this word.
      Honestly I've felt that there's some kind of "inferiority complex" comes out from both of these guys in order to show Tunisia like more western.

      Can I ask you something?
      Wince you're turk how well do you observe the skills of speaking english by turks, how well the young and old people know to speak english, bcs I heard you have bad results on it.. Idk if it's true or not, but I am wondering if I go to any city in turkey, either touristic or not, would they understand me since I don't know turkish... Hope they'd understand me though... You can say for sure...

      @@roatskm2337 I think I can answer as a Turkish. So to be honest if you go to a non-touristic city it might be hard to communicate but you will most likely find someone who helps or be able to communicate with google translate at the end. Most of the old people dont know english except the ones from touristic cities. And young people are getting better everyday. But I recommend you to go to touristic cities. In Antalya, İzmir, İstanbul, Ankara and in all Aegean coastline, I dont think you will have any problems. And ofcourse if you go to a specific touristic place that is not in a touristic city, (such as Sümela Monastery in Trabzon, or any natural beauty in anywhere in Anatolia) there will be people to help you there.

      @@roatskm2337 It depends on a lot of factors. The rural parts, Black Sea Region and Eastern Turkey generally don't know any or very little English. In big cities like İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir you can find people that speak fluidly/ semi fluidly. The coastal regions to the west and south probably know good English, because they are touristic regions.
      Of course you would have much better chance of people speaking English in any region from a younger person.

    Great episode. Much love to Tunisia! Just one thing: The Romans did not cover Carthage with salt. The only existing record where this alleged event is talked about is in a book found in Oxford that was practically invented out of nowhere. The Author of said writing knew the Bible from cover to cover, and in it there is a passage where it is told of an ancient city covered in salt after its destruction, and for some reason he wrote that the Romans had done the same to Carthage.

      true he actually mixed it with other story but in history Tunisia (Africana) know to be the land of the richirest roman Senators and who ever control it would be the closest to te empror or even the empror himsekf (rome had a lot of tunisian emporors)

      CARTHAGO DELENDA EST
      The myth likely originated from Roman propaganda and a war tradition.
      Rome detested Carthage especially after the Second Punic War so wanted to wipe them from existence and show the consequence of opposing Rome to any potential rivals. If they claimed to have entirely destroyed Carthage (salting it), it warned rivals of Rome's wrath. Carthage had traumatised and humiliated Rome at times and Rome wanted said humiliations to be forgotten forever. So if Carthage was "destroyed", so would the memory of their humiliations.
      A tradition in Rome was that they would have a patch of "enemy soil" in Rome and when they went to war they would thrust a spear into said patch to symbolise the beginning of war. It is possible that they covered this patch in salt and therefore (by this logic) covered Carthage in salt.
