    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.

      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.

      @enscroggs 4 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.

      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.

    • @HistorywithCy
      @HistorywithCy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hi, thanks for stopping by. So they don't mean the small marine animal that we today call a seahorse. The Phoenicians called the creature nahiru, but in Akkadian there is word to describe such an animal. Remember, the Assyrians before Tiglath-Pileser I were completely landlocked in what's today northern Iraq and had never in centuries never ventured to any sea, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf or other, so they had no idea what type of animal this was or how to describe it properly. At the same time, it is described as having a tusk or wiith ivory, which in Akkadian is a different word than tooth. Given it's description, the animal in question is believed to have been some sort of extinct marine mammal like a narwhal or perhaps some extinct species of narwhal itself. We know that a few marine mammals that were present in Roman times that are now extinct, so it's believed that this particular creature could have been one of them. Anyway, that's the only explanation I've read. Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it...stay safe!

    The whole Phoenicians trade thing was NOT about wood and etc...mainly. They did sell off lots of cedars, but ended up trading mostly amazing commodities. It was was about "color" "oils" "wines" Healer plants", "cloth" "Yummy dried food" and countless other commodities that were amazing back then. Lebanon Canaan Cities were traders and they linked the world for tens of centuries.

    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'.

    The word "Phoenix" (Φοινιξ) is a Greek word which root is the word Φοινος - Phoenos = Dark red as a result of the fire that Phoenix bird uses to renew its self . For the rest about the origins of the Phoenecians etc i will not comment because is clearly subjective too the date one chooses to interprete the facts of history . One true fact is that the history of the general Eastern Med area is not so young as the bronze age !! :)

    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 .

    The commonality between Canaanites and Phoenicians were probably because they were descendants of two brothers, Canaan and Phut, sons of Ham and they lived along the same Mediterranean coastline. At the time, there was no confusion as to who was who. Later, the Phoenicians may have been called Canaanites because of the land of Canaan or because of a mixing. At any rate, they should have distinct Y chromosomes branching from the same root which would be an E1 or E2 * Y chromosome. Egyptians are E3 and Cushites are E3. Nimrod, the son of Cush is the C * Y chromosome. The other D * Y chromosome is another descendant of Cush. The A and B * Y chromosomes are likely descendants of Cush as well or another son of Ham. E is where they all branch off from. The F * Y chromosome belongs to another family tree which is Ham's brother Shem. The K * Y chromosome begins the Japhethite family tree.

      I researched this and there are three theories. They originated in Lebanon, Ireland, or in northern India and the most accepted ones are the ones of northern India and Lebanon. The migration from India is supposed to have happened from around 10000 BC according to all the people who agree with the argument and at this time human racial groups hadn't formed yet fully. These people would soon evolve into the Canaanites whom the Greeks would call Phoenician, and probably (not fully proven yet) the Isrealites and Samaritans.
