Tunisian history is my passion - so happy to finally see our history getting some recognition because it is so multifaceted and there are countless nuances.
omg tunisian history was my obsession. as a non tunisian myself am really glad to find a tunisian whos enthusiastic about history to know more about it
Tunisia as a whole has actually more Roman ruins than Italy as the arid, dry weather makes preservation much easier than in Italy. Tunisia bears the marks of multiple empires spanning millennia and is worth visiting, not just the capital, but even the desert hides secrets and fun that most tend to ignore as they make their way to Spain or other tourist destinations.
The runins you think are Roman are actually Carthage's ruins, which is why there are more of them, as Carthage has about 500 years of history until Rome unified on Italian territory and symbolically destroyed the main government buildings in Tunis during the wars that country subjugated. The winners wrote the story as if they had built it and taken over everything that was already there😊
These kind of trips suit your style of story telling very well. Excellent and interesting video. Well narrated, well shot and nice tempo. Kudos. Looking forward to the next one!
I loved visiting Tunisia in January this year. Carthage is an amazing place with do much history. My favourite place i visited though was the magnificent colloseum at El Jem ! I was literally the only tourist there ! Did you go there ?
A proud Tunisian passed by your video , I hope you had great time ! There's much more historical things you can learn about in Tunisia .. other cultures and many other food to taste for sure , you are always welcome to discover more about us ! ^^
Same, it takes someone with a passion to inspire. It's slightly funny to hear a British accent. My aunt taught English her whole life in Tunisia and she always had this slight british accent. The american accent took over since then. You can literally see the world powers shifting through the way we speak the language.
I love hearing people that are knowledgeable and passionate about history, talk :) Beliz seems like a wonderful tour guide! This reminded me a bit of my visit to Viminacium in Serbia, a giant Roman city of which only 3-4% has been unearthed. What's quite sad is that the archeological park gets very few visitors and funding from the government so I'm not sure if it will ever all be uncovered...it doesn't help that's difficult to reach without bus or car but I'd definitely recommend it for anyone that is visiting Belgrade!! Knowing that millions visit the ruins in Rome while there are so many Roman remains outside of Italy that get very little attention is quite sad, I hope more people will go out of their way to explore the less conventional ones :) Excited for what's next in Tunisia!
I've been really enjoying your videos. There's something refreshingly genuine and old-fashioned (in the best way possible) about the way you travel and view the world. Look forward to future videos, stay safe
Nice to see someone else whose brain can’t quite get the correct language out at times - thank you for including that part! Thank you also for a wonderful introduction to Tunisia!
The guide man is just amazing !! He s so passionate, am proud of him as a tunisian, and you are more than welcome to discover our rich history and different cultures
Great choice of location and amazing video, as always. On the terrible issue of alleged infanticide in Carthage, it is believed to have been Roman propaganda to justify their harsh treatment of the Carthagenians.
It really wasn’t. There was so much evidence. The Italian archaeologist who pushed that narrative had a political agenda which is too complicated to explain here.
correct and must carthagians inventions was stollen by the villager romans ..The fish sauce that asia produce today is a carthagian product ...myself did it it took me 3 years to ferment it Garum was the number sauce of that time and cost alot of money a luxury product but romans consider it roman
@@Tch5802 That is confirmation bias. Carthagenian culture was destroyed, so we only have the Roman sources, which accuse the Carthagenians of horrible things. Ecxept for the Roman writings, there is no independent proof of these accusations.
@@audioupgrades No, that’s simply not true. We have Roman sources, we have many Greek sources, we even have Phoenician or Lebanese sources. We have archaeological evidence all over the Mediterranean. We have lots of archaeological evidence. Moreover, the idea that only a very few children would be buried in a special cemetery for no reason at all makes no sense. If the kids had been cremated because of an epidemic, there would have been many times as many skeletons in the cemetery as war found. The son of the chief rabbi of Rome wrote a book explaining how occasional child sacrifice likely persisted as an occasional tradition in the Carthaginian diaspora of the Roman Empire for hundreds of centuries after the fall of Carthage.
You know it's wild, I work at the dock from which you came, I took care of the cars there, I go to every place you show here while jogging, it's such a interesting way to re-explore my own world
19:35 - The reason the security informed you that you are not allowed to take videos there is because Tunisians are boycotting Carrefour and other brands and stores due to their funding of the genocide , but in general you can use your camera anywhere in tunisia
I’ve recently found and subscribed to your channel - thanks for all the great content. I especially like travel channels as they inspire my own travels (off to Singapore and Bhutan in October). But, I’m afraid some of my favourites have either settled down with children and become home renovation channels or all go to the same spots (mostly in vans). So I’m really pleased to find a channel that suits my interests again. I’m certainly intrigued about Tunisia and may add it to my travel rota.
I'm very surprised as to how much effort their people is willing to give to save all of these brilliant historical places. No thugs or thieves are there to steal. No influencers are there to vandalize. Wow.
Tunisia is a beautiful country. I’m not sure when if ever I will be back, but I was blessed to be there. It’s not somewhere many people are lucky enough to experience.
hi! thank you for visiting our country! we are so pleased to see tourists taking interest in visiting us! we can't wait to see your next adventures in Tunisia ☺️
Hello! , I hope you enjoy your time in Tunisia🇹🇳 and discover the beauty ✨and charm of my country. It would be wonderful if you could share your experience with your followers🌐 to show them Tunisia's unique allure. Thank you🤠 so much for choosing Tunisia as the first African🌍 country to visit.❤
Thank you very much for sharing with us you journey in Tunisia. I am from Algeria, Tunisia is just next to us , but I have never been there. This video convinced me that I should go visit the ancient Cartagena at least once in my life. I am very happy to see that my Tunisian brothers have such a beautiful country with a tremendous history that goes back to immemorial times.
Am so happy people are starting to recognise us these days, please encourage more people to visit our amazing country and learn the truth about our religion ❤❤
You should definitely visit the Baltic country’s! I’m courantly on a trip around the Baltic Sea (only by ship and train). I would recommend going with the night train to Warshaw and than hopping trains trough the Baltic (from Riga there is a overnight ferry to Germany). It’s such a beautiful region and there is so few touristic places even in the main city although they are SO beautiful!

Amazing video, thank you for visiting for the history! We love you and appreciate your efforts in making this video! Small weird advice: Anywhere in the world, when you get unpitted dates, cut them in half and check if you don't want unexpected extra proteins in them ;)
I’ve visited Tunisia and Algeria and both were absolutely lovely…. I know most people think of Morocco for a visit to North Africa(it’s beautiful as well) but Tunisia and Algeria both have wonders to offer visitors !!!! Vive le magreb ❤
So refreshing to relive so many places I visited so many times. Lovely format! I'd have rather like to see a real market instead of genocide-supporting Carrefour. Greets to Tunisia and free Palestine! 🍉

As for the rest, they are just myths of the Romans and Greeks.
