  • In this program, we'll take a look at the coastal Canaanite people whom the Greeks called the Phoenician. Though the Phoenicians left behind many inscriptions, few of them give any details with regard to their long and illustrious history. For that, we often have to consult Assyrian, Biblical, Egyptian and Greek sources. This video will reconstruct the their history and introduce you to the famous Phoenician cities of Byblos, Sidon, Tyre, Beirut and Akko (Acre). In other episodes, we'll take a look at other aspects of Phoenician life, culture and literature.

    I once read that the Phoenicians fostered stories about sea monsters lying outside the straits of Gibraltar, so that other sailors wouldn’t go there.

    Hi everyone, a couple of you asked how Tiglath-Pileser I could have hunted a narwhal, which is not native to the eastern Mediterranean. To be honest, I also didn’t know the answer and why some of the books I have identify the nahirus (the word used in Tiglath-Pileser’s inscription) as a narwhal. I thought I’d look into this and it turns out that in the Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, the word nahirus has been translated as “narwhal”. This obviously doesn’t confirm that the animal in question actually was a narwhal, and my guess is that the authors of the Assyrian Dictionary (who are not marine biologists) didn’t have a better word to describe this mysterious creature whose true identity is still unknown.
    Thanks to all of you who keep me sharp by asking such questions!

      I was also surprised by that part but I thought that maybe they (maybe some extinct subspecies or related species) used to live there. Similarly to how there were lions all over the Middle East and even in Southern Europe. I also didn't found anything conclusively supporting it.

    • @SpartanLeonidas1821
      @SpartanLeonidas1821 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Gaming Champ Yeah Bro. The written Vowels were made by the Greeks. Thats why many Linguists say that Greek is the first TRUE Alphabet. Its important to note that a few of the Phoenician Letters were used completely differently by the Greeks, the Alpha/Aleph for example and a few others. The Greeks also added a few of their own Consonants as well.
      Glad I could Help 👍

      @enscroggs 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      A hippo in the sea? Maybe the Assyrian king got confused and ended up in the Nile. The idea that the "sea horse" was a narwhal seems unlikely to me. Firstly, an animal with legs is unlikely to invoke the memory of horses. Secondly, narwhals are found in circumpolar waters, not the eastern Mediterranean. Finally, the quoted passage doesn't really imply the "sea-horse" was slain from a boat. The Assyrian king could have killed it on land. If the Romans could bring hippos from Egypt to Rome for gladiatorial combats in the Flavian Amphitheatre, then the Phoenicians could bring a hippo to the Canaanite Levant.

    They were also the masters of glass, making thousands of intricate glass beeds for their jewerly.

    The narwal...

      @HistorywithCy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hey, great to hear from you! Yes, Baal (sometimes written Ba'al) also has been translated as "lord" as in a feudal lord.
      About the narwhal, that's a really good question that others also had and so last night I was doing some research on why Pritchard and others call it a narwhal. I think I may have found the answer to that. In the The Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago the word nahirus which Tiglath-Pileser I uses has been translated as narwhal. It might not actually be one but that's how it's been translated, and so some books I now see are identifying it as such. Though no explanation is given for why that word was used, it is an older translation and perhaps it was once thought that maybe an extinct species of such an animal once existed in that part of the Mediterranean.
      I'm going to see if I can find a more recent translation of the word. Thanks again for stopping by, stay safe!

      The phoenicians borrowed elements of their artstyle from Ggrece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia.
      This was because the phoenicians built various colonies near already existing greek colonies in places such as southern Italy.
      This interest in greek art was very clear in Carthage.
      Wich abandoned almost completely their old middle eastern artstyle, in favor of a very ellenic one.
      This is clear from the various busts of Tanit, and the various sculptures offered to the temple of Baal Eshmun.
      The phoenicians shared stuff with the greeks indeed, especialy their alphabet and the use of the stars for navigation.
      But they took inspiration from the greeks in the art department.

    Very informative: thanks.
    Phoenicians were great sailors and traders. They would lay out their goods on the docks or beach near a city and then send up a smoke signal. They would then retreat to the ship. The locals would inspect the trade goods and leave a payment in gold or silver and then withdraw. The Phoenicians would come out and either take the payment or, if they felt it was inadequate leave it
    And return to the ship for an other round of negotiation.
    The first phonetic alphabet, actually an abjad, (no vowels) is attributed to the Phoenicians who spread it to the clever Greeks who added vowels. (800 bce)
    These first phonetic symbols were extracted from Egyptian hieroglyphs.

      Ba'al-ze-bub is also El , Moloch, Yahwey, Allah, Jehovah, Chronos, Santa, Shaytan and more and they all connect back to Saturn. In God we trust, refers to Satan, the god of many names. The Deceiver. The God of Wealth, Time and the Harvest

    I loved this video as it is very well documented yet allow me to add some details based on archaeology and historiography: The hypothesis that the sea people intermingled with the locals has been revoked by genetic analysis. there is no trace of any of the sea people markers in the remains of the Phoenician cities , and the colonies where the sea people established themselves did not survive for long (Akko for example was in the hands of the Tjeker by the time of Wenamon and 200 years later it becomes a Tyrian outpost) . And there is a clear evidence that there was a certain hegemony if not an attempt at a united kingdom by the the duo Tyre-Sidon : we see it clearly in the policies of Ithobaal both in colonization of the coastline and in the political marriages, and you see it clearly in the text of the "annals of Sennacherib", as in the fact that almost all colonies in the Mediterranean were the work of Tyre-Sidon. you may see references in this subject in the works of Maria Eugenia Aubet "The Phoenicians and the west" as well as in the works of Maroun Khreish .

    I wonder what the connection between Pre-Phoenicians before the Bronze Age Collapse and Ugarit, a bit north of the Phoenician area was. After all, Ugarit had a form of a north-semitic alphabet rendered in Cuneiform, while the Phoenicians had their own north-semitic alphabet.

    Is Baal of Tyre a name or a title? Baal is often translated as "the Lord", so the phrase might be "the Lord of Tyre", i.e. a ruler but not a named or specific ruler.

    • @talonkarrde9904
      @talonkarrde9904 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ba'al is a title. It comes to be viewed as being a name from its regular use as a title. Ba'al of Tyre could be used to refer to the king, or it could be used to refer to the god over that city/region. Context would dictate.

    Conclusion: Both males an females exhibit a name creation band-gap. While the language continues to develop.
    For men, there is a Collapse at 24% and lesser event at 18%. For women there is collapse at 32%, and a drop at 16%.
    The early phonecians are similar to Ancient Egyptians in language development. Then the first cultural collapse occurs for both phonecian men and women. This is early egyptian history. It means they are a subdialect group of ancient egyptians.
    After the proto-phonecian collapse we get the rise of the 'phonecian culture'.
    *Proof the proto-phonecian female culture was an egyptian subdialect*
