How did the Phoenicians Colonize the Mediterranean Sea?
Phoenicia was a thalassocracy that existed as early as 2500 BC and held territory throughout the Levant. The Phoenicians were not necessarily members of one united nation, but instead, made up a series of independent city-states such as Tyre and Byblos; though they nonetheless served as some type of unified front when it came to the colonization of the Mediterranean.

Speaking of empires, check out my series "The British Empire Was NOT The Biggest."
I also prove and Phoenician Canaanites traveled across the seas to South America and migrated up.
Check out
"Canaanites in America: A New Scripture in Stone?
Marshall McKusick
The Biblical Archaeologist
Vol. 42, No. 3 (Summer, 1979), pp. 137-140 (4 pages)
Published By: The University of Chicago Press"
"The occurrence of burials with associated inscribed relics was first reported for North America in 1838, when a tumulus at Grave Creek, Moundsville, West Virginia, was excavated and yielded an inscribed stone tablet, obviously written in some alphabet related to the Phoenician or Carthaginian"
For example
The Parahyba Inscription
Note the Phoenicians in Brazil - Paraiba Insciptions
Dr. Cyrus Gordon
translated the inscription as follows
"We are Sidonian Canaanites from the city of the Mercantile King. We were cast up on this distant shore, a land of mountains. We sacrificed a youth to the celestial gods and goddesses in the nineteenth year of our mighty King Hiram and embarked from Ezion-geber into the Red Sea. We voyaged with ten ships and were at sea together for two years around Africa. Then we were separated by the hand of Baal and were no longer with our companions. So we have come here, twelve men and three women, into New Shore. Am I, the Admiral, a man who would flee? Nay! May the celestial gods and goddesses favor us well!"
Gordon concluded:" We therefore have American inscriptional contacts with the Aegean of the Bronze Age, near the south, west and north shores of the Gulf of Mexico. This can hardly be accidental; ancient Aegean writing near three different sectors of the Gulf reflects Bronze Age Trans-Atlantic communication between the Mediterranean and the New World around the middle of the second millennium B.C."
"Minoan and Phoenician coins have been found, and inscriptions of ancient Phoenician and Minoan scripts, in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and the Star of David was even found in an ancient ruin of the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico! In the middle of the second millennium, B.C., and down to the time of Solomon, circa 1000 B.C., oceanic travel by maritime powers in the Middle East seems to have been fairly common."
So..
"Gaelic-speaking Japhethites (who were of lighter complexion), and Canaanite speaking Hamites (who were dark skinned) made a joint surveying expedition to the New World soon after this is evident from the petroglyphs found beside the Arkansas River, on Turkey Mountain near Tulsa, present day Oklahoma."

@YugoslavianMapping1291 [IMA] [YUC] [GBS] NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
The way that the Phoenicians expanded their influence, reminds me of Manila in the Philippines… by the way, I apologize in advance because this would be a lengthy comment.
By the time of Spanish contact, Manila had monopolized the archipelago’s trade, that they managed nearly all inter-island and inter-ethnic exchanges, therefore all of the other polities became reliant on Manila. In fact the Spaniards mentioned that the Manila Moros brokered deals with the rules of Cebu to allow them to settle on the island. The Spaniards also mentioned that Manila Moros who were settled in Butuan in the Southern island of Mindanao, ordered the locals to not deal with the Spaniards if it wasn’t silver that was being traded, and the locals obeyed. The Spaniards mentioned a Manila Moro paramount ruler who was well known throughout the islands that he was respected and treated almost like a king.
At first, the Spaniards incorporated themselves into the trading network/colony that Manila had created. The Spaniards were importing silver that they mined in the Americas, which the Manila merchants wanted, because the Chinese mainly accepted silver in exchange for their products. Eventually the Spaniards grew to become more and more influential due to silver and they gained a lot of local allies. Among these was the Manila Moro merchant whose name is ‘Mahomar’. He had been dealing with the Spaniards in Cebu for years and he had become well acquainted with them, so he decided to bring the Spaniards back with him to Manila, to make deals with the ruling family to allow them to settle near the city. This would make things more convenient, because silver would flow directly to Manila, which they could easily trade with Chinese and Japanese merchants who were settled near Manila. Unfortunately Rajah Sulayman refused the offer and ordered them to head back to their settlement in Cebu. Somewhere in their conversation, fighting broke out. Some sources claim that it was Rajah Sulayman who first fired a (lantaka)/locally made pre-colonial cannon, while other sources claim that it was the Spaniards who fired a cannons first. Manila would fall to the Spaniards and their allies. This is how the Spaniards took over what is now the Philippine archipelago. When Manila fell, the Spaniards basically took control of the trading network/colony that Manila had already woven prior to their arrival. They simply gave it a name, and that’s how the Philippines was born.
There were several attempts by the local elites to get rid of the Spaniard. First was the Battle of Bangkusay Channel, where relatives and allies of the ruling family came to Manila from the regions of Navotas, Bulacan and Pampanga to aid them against the Spaniards, but this unfortunately failed and some nobles were executed. The next attempt is known as the “Tondo Conspiracy”… this was when the ruling family and nobles attempted to contact their relatives in the Bruneian royal court. Unfortunately this failed again because a man named ‘Surabao’ revealed their plans. It is uncertain why Surabao snitched on them, but it is speculated that the reason might also have something to do with silver as well, because if they successfully get rid of the Spaniards, the steady flow of silver into the archipelago would stop. After this revelation, many of Manila’s royals and nobles were harshly punished, some were executed, while others were exiled to Latin America or heavily taxed. Those who allied with the Spaniards, we’re able to keep their wealth, properties and social status. The Spaniards gave these people or their descendants the “Principalia status” which was basically the “colonial noble class”.
I highly recommend the article (Transforming Manila: China, Islam and Spain in a Global Port City) by Ethan Hawkley.
As an archaeology master's student working on the Phoenicians and, their successor, Carthaginians, the principal motivation for both Phoenician and Greek trade networks and trading posts which eventually became colonies was getting mineral resources, notably metals like iron, gold and bronze. The reason the Phoenicians and Carthaginians are less known is due to the fact they lost against Europe's “ancestors“ Greece and Rome. I'd argue they all played a huge role in forming the modern Mediterranean world.
Fun fact: the Greeks, who isolated themselves after the Bronze Age collapse, worked closely with the Phoenicians when reopening there trade ties. The Greeks adopted and readapted the Phoenician alphabet, and the Romans adopted and readapted the Greek alphabet, turning it into the Latin alphabet, which continues today.
The 'Bronze Age collapse.
I'm still pondering what caused it.
Natural disasters, or raids from the sea peoples?
Or both?
'I know that Santorini's volcano have had its share of outbreaks-
I've been there.
@@bohemianwriter1 There's still a lot of debate around this subject. From what I know, there's an economic reasoning. If I remember it's either Egypt or Crete's cities that collapsed and due to the economic interdependence, every interconnected regional power was affected. The cause, no one knows yet
@@TheSilver2001 From what I've heard from most of my collegues (I myself am mostly interested in ancient coins and alike artifacts) it's most probably to be a combination of many of the factors people point to as the "definitive" reason. All combining and kind of snowballing. Though you are very right about no one really knowing anything for sure though.
But I think it'd make sense for several environmental, cultural and intersocietal factors to have a (kinda lost for the word, English isn't my primary language) but strenghtening effect on eachother that made each worse. After all, seemingly quite stable civilisations were left in disarray one after another in a relatively small amount of time or as a friend of mine likes to say 'an archeological blink of an eye' though I kinda messed up the translation.
I have a question off topic. Would you know why did Carthage decide not to help Old Tyre when Alexander the Great was invading it? Wasn't Carthage a colony of theirs? What was the feeling of the other Phoenician cities (Byblos..) when they helped Alexander the Great attack Tyre (also Phoenician but independent city)? Did the people of Tyre hate them after?
Imagine if the knew that just close by in the Senegal River sources some of the biggest Gold reserves in the world

@@canadianmmaguy7511 Yes Nimrod was the son of Kush(Ethiopia). The Kushites built the Babylonian cities(Modern Iraq) and his title was King. So you're correct!
Perhaps the most important innovation of the Phoenicians was their alphabet which the Greeks and later the Romans modified and adopted. Way easier than cuneiform or hieroglyphs.
They knew syxtant
Yes, we ignore the importance of the "phonetic" alphabet for the West far too much.
also the modern numbers from arabs
@@mehmed13 that was from India. Arabs spreads it in Europe.
Phoenicians had no alphabet. They had an abjad.

I used to see you at the top of every comment section. What happened man?
This is why i study history and ancient history at the same time I love Phoenicians and their deeds! It takes a lot for some city states to work their way up the ladder and they did it none the less.
🤺☦️🇷🇺Point is that it shows just how accurate the description of them and their trade route in the Bible, and what the curse upon the Canaanites meant in being "slave of slaves to his brothers"
The modern European colonies also started like that. As trade posts and layovers for their ships. Then gradually taking over the inland.
The Portuguese empire basically followed the Phonecian method to every word. Small trade outposts trade with the locals, and then we have Brasil...which kind of can be compared to carthage (both became way larger empires than their predecessors)
@@miguelpadeiro762 the carthaginians fled to portugal with allied tribes.
Lisbon was a carthaginian trading post, the basque region was heavily settled in and in my opinion the uk after that.
True, the Spanish started by making a trading post in the americas, the Portuguese, in the Cabo de Boa Esperança (Cape of good hope)
@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 and Kongo kingdom
The Phoenicians were really underrated compared to Greco-Roman cultures
History is written by the victor
Because they came from Lebanon since I was a little kid they told us you Lebanese people are Phoenicians what's in it for us nowadays living without electricity civilizations should develop into good for the future some day we'll return the Phoenicians days living instead of moving forward
Because Phoenicians were not nearly as interesting as them. Seriously, the two are not even comparable.

Hi bro, Yes it really sad to see how our countries are now vs how was they. Well I am from India. But good times will come for us.
It's just an idea, you had nothing to do with it so having pride in that is cringey, and why limit yourself to a "country", if you wanna have pride in something you had nothing to do with why not just have pride in humanity instead of "my tribe"

In Bulgaria we have a saying that goes something like this "Where are you in such a hurry for like a phoenician?". The original businessmen of the Mediterranean and Europe.
For real? That’s so interesting? Do you have the exact Bulgarian saying? I’d love to learn more about it!
I'm a penorep from spain (descendents of iberio-punic population) and we have an idiom that says "This work wouldn't make you a phoenician" which means don't be so hastly to do this plan that you think will make you wealthy/rich think a lot before deciding, it's used to advise someone who thinks of starting a commercial project or getting an important job :P

Thank you for this history. I try to learn about my country in the ancient world and this is helping me a lot.
It’s amazing how ignorant one can be about her/his own history. There was never a people called the Phoenicians. They were Canaanite city states. “Phoenicians” is what Greeks called purple dye traders from the eastern Mediterranean
@@fantasticshokh If the Greeks called it Phoenicians they are Phoenicians. I know the Canaanites had seperate state like Byblos and Tyre are not the same type of Canaanites. But Tyre made the purple and Byblos aswell. They both traded the purple dye and that's the Greeks called them Phoenicians. And also our generation use a lot of Greek term. Even in Mathematics. So they are using the name Phoenician to specify the empire that sells purple dye. There is other Canaanites that didn't use the purple dye. They didn't even indetefy there self as Canaanites nor Phoenicians. But the Greeks called them Phoenicians
@@cedaranimation348 they did identify as Canaanite city states. There are records of that, even in Greece. They also taught together when outside empires invaded. If you choose to be ignorant of history than that is one problem, but if you choose to disgrace your ancestors by accepting the name their invaders gave them, then that’s another problem
@@fantasticshokh No, no not even close. They identify them self from there city state. Big defference. Those in Byblos were not the same group as those in Tyre and this is a fact. You are the ignorant one.
Also, the Greeks didn't really invade us, the only empire that invaded us in Persia. Big defference. The Carthage city turned into in empire. As well why are you fighting if I'm here to learn my history. If you want to change the history, than do a TH-cam video about your opinion. Since you really need to show your ignorant skills. Go. I won't bother you.
I would like to add some details about their colonization: it wasn't the same in all their conquered territories. Even if the punics conquered the westernmost part of Sicily, they never really subjugate the native elymians (the elymians had many important cities, like Eryx and Segesta), since the latter were pretty much developed. So the punics preferred to create commercial outposts alongside the coast of Western Sicily, with few exceptions
@علي ياسر colonization was not always the same. Most of the times the punics were respectful of the indigenous groups, not like the greeks, for example
I always thought the Phoenicians only settled in Tunisia. Wasn't aware of their settlements in Algeria, Morocco, and Europe.
A quarter of Spanish cities in the mediterranean were founded by phoenicians. Malaga and Cadiz (called Gades) were founded by them. Sagunto was too.
@@DanRyzESPUK Cartagena in Spain exist
They settled from modern day Libya to Morocco, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Spain & Portugal. The capital of Portugal Lisbon was founded by them too as a trading outpost called "Alis Ubbo"
They came from present day Lebanon. They included Sardinians from the very beginning (we know from skeletons and dna finds), and then branched out toward other Mediterranean cities in Southern Europe, North Africa, and beyond...
“One place had a colony so big it was making smaller colonies.”-The history of the world I guess.
"Now the Phoenicians can get down to business"
Life's/existence essence ❤️🙏☀️
Interestingly, this is also how the British empire spread. They first set up trading stations, which then had to be defended, so they grew and armed allied lords or tribes. (Typical pattern in Africa: Set up trade by the coast. Then missionaries come and walk into the interior to preach. Then get eat... killed by the locals, who then also attack the traders. The trade outpost asks for redcoasts to fortify and defend the outpost. They arm coastal tribes, who use the guns to subdue their enemies in the interior. That's also why the coasts turned Christian while the interior turned Muslim, from Muslim missionaries coming across the continent.)
Well made documentary indeed daily and ever,good friend!!!👍
Truly an underrated topic in colonization! Keep up the good work!
Another reason why the Ancient history should deserves more attention.
Fantastic video today keep it up your doing amazing job
Amazing content, thanks!
The phoenicians were really advanced for their time and were really ambitious, while nations like Rome and Sumer surely influence us today with the laws of Rome and the wheel of Sumer, the phoenicians gave us something more important than both, the alphabet.
We often ignore them for their many feats, the only time the phoenicians are ever mentioned as pretty big are the times of Carthage, but never more, which is so unfair.
They gave us the alphabet but not vowels.
There is no point in valuing a civilization more than another: the romams gave us roads, the base for statal administration, laws, and so on. The sumerians gave us the first efficient irrigue system, and the first epic poem. So what's the point?
@Spolierman it seems that your point of you is influenced by nationalism, which is always bad. I will not even try to explain why you're wrong... greetings
@Spolierman yes, we all know how much important was the middle east in ancient times. But denying the importance of other civilizations seems a little nationalistic to me. Good day

Great Episode!
Great video!
One interesting thing is that the Greeks once controlled southern part of the Italian peninsula that makes the Italian population in that area to have Greek heritage.
Also an interesting thing is that an iberio-punic civilization developped in central northern spain, so a punic population is still living there ... at least some of them got civilized and developpement ...
We southern Italians are mixed, there are those who are more southern European and those who are more North African/Middle Eastern, which is why we simply define ourselves as Mediterraneans.
I'm Sicilian, for example, and for those who don't know the history of Mediterranean peoples, and/or aren't Mediterranean, find it hard to believe that there could be autochthonous Europeans with my phenotype.

Thanks for this video bro❤️🇱🇧
@YugoslavianMapping1291 [IMA] [YUC] [GBS] ok
This is amazing
Sometimes I think of the Greeks and Phoenicians as the bronze/early iron age equivalent of a future Earth sending out generation ships or early FTL ships. Some great ceremony binds the people of the colony to the mother world, then off they go to set up a new world and hopefully keep alive whatever sacred plant or fire from the homeland they took with them to maintain symbolic connection.
One important thing about the Phoenicians is that theirs alphabet which was adopted and modified by the Greeks and later the Romans which way later remained the latin alphabet used by the majority of the world countries.
yes we use both: the penorep script which is an alphabet and peno-arabic script which is an abjad also, also we write in social media (i mean if we're using a computer or a phone) we write in latin but ... a bit different. For example the sentence: "it's Winter, how cold it is!" would be in the latin script "Jǐť'ĩ l'esťré, Ke ĩ frwadus! "
and in the peno-arabic equivalent script:
" جٍت'ئن ل'يسترِ. كِ ئن فروَٕدٌس! "
In close to modern times, or middle age times was the Hanseatic league, Genoa, Venice and the trade powers of Spain and Portugal at some points. In the east, there was Malacca and the Chinese Dynasties who established tributaries
There were several important cultural and political centers all over the Mediterranean region in Antiquity, and there were various sorts of changing interactions and exchanges between Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks and others. The influence of Phoenician culture did not end quickly or suddenly.
The father of Pythagoras, Mnesarchus, was a merchant from the city of Tyre. Thales was of Phoenician descent and a descendant of Cadmos. The founder of Stoicism, Zeno of Kitium, was of Phoenician origin. The geographer and astronomer Marinus of Tyre influenced the geographer and astronomer Claudius Ptolemy. These can be viewed as literary and cultural examples of ancient thinkers directly related to Phoenician cultural influence, but who were called Greek in the 20th century due mainly to Athens, Greece and Rome being located in Europe, and to cultural habits related to Euro-centrism.
Several ancient scholars were very likely in the cultural sphere of influence of the city of Carthage.
The city of Berytus (Beirut) had an important law school that lasted until the 6th century CE.

Hi what software do you use to do your videos?
At this time the Greeks who were settled around them were for the most part Ionians, and after being taught the letters by the Phoenicians, they used them with a few changes of form. In so doing, they gave to these characters the name of Phoenician, as was quite fair seeing that the Phoenicians had brought them into Greece."

@@giovanni_vaz_cardoso For the most part, maybe. But Carthage was said to be founded on virgin soil according to ancient sources. Archaeological evidence confirms this. The Phoenicians founded cities and colonized or re-founded others.
As a Lebanese 🇱🇧I am so disappointed to how we are now compared to our past 💔still I'm proud to to see this video ✨
بالعكس على اللبنانيين والسوريين ان يفتخروا باجدادهم فهم من ايقظوا العالم بعدما كانوا ياكلون لحوم البشر .اما اليوم فانت مازلت كما كنت يكفي ان تزيل الغبار الموجود على سطح لبنان ومن على اوطاننا ويظهر الفنيقي ملك البحار.. Alger
maybe your the loser
Make a video on dzungaria 🙏👍💛🙏
Interesting how ancient historians have the phoenicians colonizing in the 12th century bc. That's a lot further back than modern historians
Make one for greek colonies next
Phoenician trade goes back much earlier than the 12th Century BC referred to in this video; witness the Lebanese cedar pillars at the temple of Hierakonpolis, dated to 3200 BC and the Khufu Ship, burried by the Cheops Pyramid, dated to 2566 BC. Also witness the rise of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete starting as early as 3100 BC. (Note: While Western scholars like to deny the Levantine origins of Greek civilization, the ancient Greeks themselves credited Cadmus, the brother of Europe, the Phoenician princess of Tyre, with giving them the alphabet, and Europe's son, King Minos of Crete, with establishing the Minoan dynasty.)
Its weird that u placed Carthage far south than where it really was and u placed Ibiza on Mallorca
he has to work more on his maps, for example he should have inckuded tge Syrian coast too. the fist alphabet started there
can anyone tell me what "phallus socratic" in 1:38 mean?Is the subtitle wrong or I misheard?
OK,I listened again,I guess it may be "thalassocratic"
dya turn on subtitles?
I should admit that I didn't know barely anything about the Phoenicians.
we're still living in spain (at least descendents) 🙂✌️
Awsome
Ancestors of the Vikings. Guess it's in their blood to be good sea fairing conquerors.
The Phoenecian trading empire, the prototype for the British East India trading company.
Scientists underestimate positive interaction between Phoenicians and Greeks, even as early as the 12th c BCE. Besides post-#LateMycenaeanIIIC Cyprus, they also used #Crete, #Pholegandros, #Kea/#Ceos, and other #GreekIslands, as trading stations and stepping stones for further expeditions, trade, and colonization.
@ 𖤍ᴾᴴᴼᴱᴺᴵˣ Why not!? 🤷🏾♂️
@ 𖤍ᴾᴴᴼᴱᴺᴵˣ I'm a Yankee 🇺🇲 , as well as a citizen of the World. Why ?
With a lot of blood sweat and tears !
Thanks for your videos. I live and work in Cambodia. I study history and I am in direct contact with a linguist and historian who study Khmer culture et myths as well as several minorities who live in Cambodia - We would love to help you to make a video about Cambodia history and myths.
Is it possible to send you an email?
Blecch. The narrator seems to be trying to describe a new thriller film and be super-dramatic about it. The topic has been well understood for centuries.
ibiza is the island to the south, not the one in the middle
Increasing their trade network. Well basically like the early Portuguese and Spanish.
And frankly, those territories of the phoenicians are the ones, the romans like to keep the most. As if they knew their heritage
If there is one philosopher who walk all around the world Like Marco Pollo as trader and x as philosopher it would be ...
The Phoenicians founded Carthago. The Carthaginians founded Cartagena. The Spanish founded Cartagena de Indias
We did not lean very much about Phoenicians apart from trading which we already knew.
I want to visit Thapsoos one day
It's in Tunisia
What I love about these history channels, is that they are content free of a religious bias.
So how did they do it? The entire video explains what made the Phoenicians so great, their accomplishments and their legacy. But nothing really dives deeper into the 'how' of it. In my mind, they were just another trading people in the levant, only more successful. Idk why though
The Sea People mentioned in Egyptian writings?
Just got back from Tyre... *they have wheely good business*
the Phoenicians are impressive but not as impressive as the fact that 15 minutes can save you 15 percent or more on car insurance from GEICO
Ah kim, your despotic way always raise a chuckle
It is funny you used the name new town. Because that’s actual what it name really was. In Hebrew since it by default was a Hebrew colony
lol even in Penorep (my mothertongue, it's a language we speak in nothern spain) it's very obvious that "Qerțeċ" means new village, with Qerț meaning village or town and eċ the suffix of Eǐțeċ meaning modern or new. Lol how similair phoenician is to my language
am i the only one that noticed that the Carthage marker is wrong at 6:40
soundtrack?
Ancestors of Lebanese people
Great Honours belong to the Phoenicians !
The Phoenicians are the greatest European civilization. They were the first advanced civilization in Europe. Byblos is the oldest city not only in Europe, but in the world.
Bro Byblos is in Middle east, not europe. The whole idea that Israel is a european country is only approved in football matches and other events 😂
You can make the argument that the were part of "Western Civilization" but they surely weren't European, not ethnically or geographically.
@علئ ياسر so you are telling me that if a european nation colonise a place outside of europe, after many years the new place will become a european country? You probably mean that the civilization and movements are to the west and the cultural share is different from the other close nations. But that doesnt mean anything. Australia isn't considering a european country for example. Sure Israel is a different scenario because of religion and arab neighbors, but remember that being a Jew is different than being israeli.
1:35 "A phallus socratic civilization" hum? Interesting!
I was afraid it might only be Thalassocratic.
Phoenicians were clearly Caucasian from the Middle East. So why in their series on Hannibal is he portrayed being a Sub-Saharan black African by the History Channel?
Because according to them, Africa = black.
cuz he militarized african slaves ... maybe
Please make video on Bengali famine
