- After the 2 Phoenician Ship Expeditions, the replica Phoenician Ship will have a home in Montrose, Iowa, at the Phoenician Ship Museum. This video shows the reconstruction of the ship after the transportation overland to that location. And present one of the most important partners of the Museum, the Association Didon de Carthage, from Tunisia.
What a brilliant presentation!
I learned about the Phoenicians during my stay in Lebanon when I got to explore their ancient and millennial Phoenician cities: Byblos, Tyre, Sidon and Berytus ( Beirut), and that was really an unique experience to see and experience everything I read and learned from Sanford Holst’s excellent book ‘Phoenician Secrets’ .
The PHOENICIANS revolutionized writing by creating the Alphabet in Byblos ( in today’s Lebanon). After all the Greeks referred to the ancient city of ‘Jbeil’ ( in Aramaic as the Phoenicians called it) as Byblos because that’s where they discovered and learned about this ‘disruptive ‘ and incredible system of communication : the Alphabet ( Aleph and Bet, two Aramaic words, from the language spoken by the Phoenicians.
I was never taught anything about this brilliant civilization - Phoenicia because our education is so self-centered around Greece and Rome, where in reality, we took everything from the Near East: ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia ( they invented the cuneiform system) and the Phoenicians ( the inventors of our Alphabet, glass and the greatest Ship builders and Navigators.
Not only, the Greeks and the Romans took so much from these civilizations, but the very name of our continent Europe, is actually Phoenician, since Europa was born in the ancient Mediterranean Phoenician city of Tyre ( in today’s Lebanon). These Phoenicians founded most of our European Mediterranean city ports. As a matter of fact the sea between Italy and Greece refers to the people of Tyre ( il mare Tirreno or the Tyrrhenian Sea) .
Yes thank you. I've had this concept in my head for a while but you just made the exact historical case. I'm actually saving this underrated CZcams comment on an obscure, hidden video.
That's JOO bullshit to make themselves feel important. Phonecia was established by PHOENIX, brother of Europa, children of King Aginor from CRETE. They were GREEK AF. The Greeks already had 23 different ALPHABETS not just one, so they didn't need to get 2 letters from some shitty Semite goat herders!
The phoenicians and austronesians had the same thing, best at sailing.
Amazing journey
That ship looks very similar to a medieval hanse cog. Though that was over thousand years later and another region.
What Archeological or Historical evidence is there for Phoenicians traveling to the Americas?
They probably had a magic wand. 🪄🏛️
Why are they portrayed as European??
Who cares?
@@boozycruze7679 ok! I'm sorry.
@@boozycruze7679 maybe the Europeans? 🤷🏿♂️
@@abishemui8278 No You're right. The west is too snobby and stuck up to even think of the idea that other civilizations other than Greek existed. And did not progress in the exact order that anthropologists say civilizations develop. Which is always coincidentally the way that our civilization developed.
The very ship in the video is being restored rebuilt to museum quality not ocean voyage quality. It is currently in Montrose, IA on the banks of the Mississippi River.
The ship sailed without escort fleet 2 voyages. One, out the east of the Mediterranean around Africa and back into the Mediterranean on the Westside.
The Second, was from Tunisia out to the Atlantic down the west coast of Africa hit the trade winds and landed in Florida. Showing that the technology and skill was available in the ancient times to be able to give the Ancient world access to the New World long before Columbus.
I would subscribe, but the AI narration is impossible to listen to.
