History of Ancient Canaan - The Canaanite Golden Age (Middle Bronze Age)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- Part two of the short series on ancient Canaan, this video explores the period known as the middle Bronze Age. It's a time when Canaanite culture flourishes, more settlements appear in Canaan, and for believers, possibly the time when the Hebrews of the Bible first entered into Egypt. With a Canaanite ruling dynasty in seated in the Nile delta region, everything was working in Canaan's favor, though it wouldn't remain that way. Take a quick look at this exciting phase in Canaan's history.

I discovered this channel today for the first time, time for some marathon.
Thanks so much, glad you're here! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again and stay safe!
I'm about to make the same journey. Found a video today and then realized I needed to watch these videos first. Loving this channel already
@@HistorywithCy Whats countries histories would you say are most vital and relevant for understanding western society today
Doing the same thing
I love Canaanite history
It is great
I get excited when there’s new videos about Canaan and Babylon. Thank you Cy keep em coming!
Cool Babylon and Assyria are great to learn. Mesopotamians are cool and fun.
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words and your enthusiasm for this stuff. More on both topics coming up...stay safe!
Thank You for being a wonderful historian and presenter. 💚
No, thank YOU for watching and taking an interest in all this, really appreciate it!
very informative. clear delivery of information. I specially enjoyed it because it is a part of history that is often glossed over!
Great job!!
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words and am glad you liked it! More to come...stay tuned and stay safe!
Thank you so much for the work and knowledge you have made available to us. Bravo!! I love history.
I’m a big history buff. Thank you for giving me endless content to binge watch.
My pleasure, glad you liked this! More in the series to come, stay safe!
Thanks for this. Excellent stuff as usual.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words...stay safe baradar!
These are really interesting, especially when viewed as a sort of empire marathon, studying the endurance of different empires and how they rose, fell, and sometimes rose again stronger, along with how their interactions shaped the surrounding territories. It can give one (especially as an American) humility, as how powerful the U.S. is, we are less than 300 years old. The idea of a 1,000 year empire seems unfathomable the way things are going, but everything is an ebb and flow of peaks and troughs. As one of the common people, it's also very interesting to think about people travelling so far when travelling such vast distances was difficult and dangerous just to labor, how bad it must've been to motivate them to migrate such distances. These thoughts are only a few of what I have. I love ancient history, thanks so much for the work you've put in.
Once again Cy, you have done a great job. From two fans from Down Under.
Thank you, y'all rock! Really glad you're digging these vids. Can't wait to do something on Australia, hopefully in 2022...be safe!
This is excellent! I love the maps!🌹
Thanks so much for the feedback...the maps are actually my favorite part of making these videos.
Thanks a lot for the great video!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. More to come, stay safe!
We love you Cy!
And Cy loves y'all! Stay safe my friends!
These are great thank you
This is so very interesting and helping me understand the culture of the OT. Thank you. Have you noted similar elements in their alphabets?
canaan was the first group to invent the first alphabet.... like the discovery of that very potsherd in khirbet keiayfa in israel... you should check it out. Cheers!
Very good. When you showed the Hykos "invading" I got annoyed that you had made such an error, but I had to laugh when you turned it around. You got me!
Considering my partial Canaanite ancestry I find this topic to be very interesting and I thank you for making such wonderful videos about it
Thank you for stopping by and the kind words, I really appreciate them! Glad you found this to be of use... thanks again and stay safe!
Canaanites are Nephilim (giants if even an inch tall). They are an advanced race descended from Ham, who nowadays we call aliens. They are primarily sub terrestrial after Human Tribes decimated their tribes and caused the demise of Egypt. If you have these ancestors, it would likely be difficult to discover by modern means. Even if you have a more modern version of their race.
The bible speaks of them. All you gotta do is read it.

Wow you did as you promised, this shows how reliable person you are. I love this and we are waiting for the next part as well. Also make videos about Babylon, Abyssinia, Ifat and the sea people. Also about the historical places like Ebla, Petra, Ur and Ubar. I hope the people will learn a lot about them from you
By the way you have earned a new subscriber 👍
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by again, I really appreciate it and glad you liked the video. You're in luck! I've actually done several videos on Babylon and Babylonia (another one hopefully coming out this week). I've also done separate, though short videos on Ebla and Ur, all of which are in the past video catalog/playlists. Here are the titles of the videos you might be interested in:

Cy, that model of the Canaanite temple you showed to the end looks to be very similar to the Egyptian temples - two mighty pylons (here possibly towers) and a rectangular enclosure/building behind them. Do you know about some comparative works? Thanks.
Learned a lot bro
Very interesting. Thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to more Canaanite history. I'm curious too at what point the Isrealites appear as a distinct people, and would love to see an Israelite history (historical that is, and where Biblical/Tanakh narratives correspond with this). Thanks again.
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by and your feedback, I really appreciate it! The first time that a people (not state or kingdom) appear in any written record is on an Egyptian monument called the Merneptah Stele. I believe it's from around 1200 BC and in it, the word "Israel" appears listed as one of several peoples. For sure, I'll touch up on the Israelites as well and historical references to them. In the meantime, you might be interested in an artifact called the Tell Dan stele, which mentions a "House of David." That as far as I know is the only other historical reference to the early kings of Israel/the Israelites. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks and stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy references to david also include the bubasite portal at the temple in egypt inscribed by pharaoh shoshenq.
And also the king mesha stele....
@@HistorywithCy I’m also interested in learning about the Israelites.
I love your videos

Hey great video, I wonder if there is enough information to make a video of just the Hyksos
Hola 🙋♀️made it I'm here!! thank you Cy hope your doing well?
All good, thank you, just hanging in there! Hope all is well in AZ with you and your fam! Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us people who do not contribute. I guess you understand how everyone cannot but would want to help out if they could. Much appreciated.
Simple, amaaaazing. The effort and the amount of information is so amazing. Your videos are high quality and st the end, I feel as if I read an entire book on the subject.
Can you answer this please on lingusitic history, if you can. I’d love to hear your opinion.
So we know that most of the current world languages use the alphabet writing system, which we have given the name: phonecian language/script. From what I know, it is a transformation of Egyptian hyelogriphics that the Canaanites evolved; first into a proto-sinatic and then a proto-cananite script/language.
Is it true that the southern Canaanites (ie near Gaza) are the first to invent the alphabet system, and then it got passed to other Cannanite tribes to the north (ie in Lebanon)?
Is it also true that the entire alphabet system is a Cannanite one, rather than specifically a phonecian one? Is it true that we currently call it phonecian because the phonecians happen to have been the sea farring people of all the Cannan tribes?
From what I know l, it is the Greeks that called the northern Cannan tribes as Phonecians. The question is: those phonecians lived from where to where (ie. modern Haifa to Byblos?)
What were the main Cannanite tribes? Other than phonecians ...
We’re the hebrews originally a Cannanite tribe? Or simply an Egyptian minority group that moved to Canaan.
Is the language spoken by the various Cannanite groups (say at about 1,200 BCE or earlier) intelligible ?
Oh, you're going to like the next video as it's on Phoenician history, though I'll be going over their language in a separate video. So my understanding is that that yes, their was a Canaanite language/script before what the Greeks called Phoenician developed. In reality, Phoenician is a dialect of Canaanite or you could say a more recent version of what was spoken in the Bronze Age. There are different theories as to how it may have developed and of course controversy as some believe that the script developed in Egypt, perhaps the Sinai area, hence they call it Proto-Sinaitic script. Others call it proto-Canaanite.
You are also correct that the term Phoenician is a Greek one, coming from the ancient Greek word phoinix meaning red or crimson. As for main Canaanite tribes, there were many that eventually coalesced into kingdoms during the iron age...Edomites, Israelites, Moabites, etc...
Check out this video for more on that:
th-cam.com/video/8letIrov_Ds/w-d-xo.html
The origin of the word Hebrew may have come from the word habiru (or hapiru) which was the term given to bands of sort of stateless, wandering bands of mainly Canaanite people who were often on the fringes of society.
This video might help with that:
th-cam.com/video/MDlTCJgh_N4/w-d-xo.html
Yes, the language before 1200 BCE is intelligible as it was very close to the Canaanite language(s) that came in the Iron Age, which is understood quite well by scholars.
Hope this helps... any other questions, let me know...thanks again for stopping by, stay safe!
I like this my friend
Thanks, appreciate the kind words...more to come, stay safe!
subscribed! I would love to see a follow up video on the Mitani (IDK spelling) as I have also watched some videos on the hittie empire.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and the kind words, I really appreciate them! I actually do have a video on the history of the Mitanni that I did last year. It's called "History of the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni" and is one of the vids that appear when you put it in search. Let me know if you can't find it.
Thanks again and stay safe!
Thank you
Had no idea about this part of Canaanite history it was interesting esp. the connection to the Hyksos.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it! Yeah, it's fascinating stuff, how the more we study this, the more interconnected things are. Thanks again and stay safe!

Me too, and there will be more of it coming up soon, especially about early pharaohs and the Old Kingdom. Thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it...stay safe!
Good Sir, I am new to your channel. I love what you are presenting. I am a happy subscriber and am binge watching your offerings.
The comments section is a joy. Idiots arguing with scholars, or scholar on scholar....I can only take so much of that stuff bit by bit, but I thank you for your work. ( I was lured here by your Hittite summary...what a sh*t show in the comments) XD

@@HistorywithCy just working on my historical novel on canaan in the late bronze age
@@HistorywithCy I think if you want to do a crossover you can do videos about amarna period rulers of different cities in the late bronze age and I can provide art and music, and recordings of the texts in the original languages if you like
A novel, that's sweet! That was one of my dreams, to write a book, although if I put together all the scripts for these vids, I'd prob have enough for one haha. Yeah I will be doing a vid or two on the Amarna letters and will go a bit into Akhenaten. There are some really cool letters between the pharaohs and the kings of Tyre, Byblos and Amurru that I want to read, though they'll be in English. Thanks for the offer, I don't know when I'll be putting it out. I think I'm good on music and artwork though... I've pretty much developed a consistent style in the videos, so I'll prob just stay with that but I really appreciate the offer and your enthusiasm for this stuff. If there's anything that I can do to help you out, let me know! You probably have more sources than I do, but if there's any information that I can provide, I'd be happy to do it.
Thanks again and stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy I think some of the most interesting characters of that period are labayu king of shechem and Milkilu king of gezer. Another character worthy of being looked at in depth was queen Tiye, she basically governed the Empire while akhenaten was busy sun gazing. Between Tiye and nefertiti, Tiye was the more important and influencial
Genius! When’s the next part?
Have you considered including into your Canaan series the following:
- Phoenicians
- jebusites?
- Hebrews
- Amalek?
- the very ancient Levant culture such as ahmarian, Kibaran, Nafturian??
- the effects of specific climate age on the people of the Levant (ie 8.2 and 4.2 ky events?
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, glad you liked it! Those are all great suggestions. I have a big one on the Phoenicians coming up and some of the other ones may make an appearance in other episodes. I'll definite keep them all in mind. Thanks again, I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this stuff...stay safe!
Amelek is hebrew/jew it's of the clans of israel/edom/ammon/moab.
So it's not Canaanite.
History with Cy a lot of people say that phonecians are in modern Lebanon. But I have a different view on that, and I was hoping you could correct me if I’m wrong
The phonecians, as we all know, are one of the Cannanite groups. The people living in Cannan were known to be merchants (ie with Egyptians, Mycenaeans, Greeks, etc...)...
but (and this is the theory I have) the Greeks called any Canaanite merchant as “phonecian”... and later on, the Greeks simply landed in Lebanon and attributed the land to phonecia. But had they landed in Gaza it Northrrn Palestine, then that land would have been today’s reference to phonecian.
I’d love to hear your opinion as well as other viewers.
Another question:
1) what are the 5-10 largest Cannanite tribes/peoples, and where did they reside?
2) is it true that Canaanite people are originally from Dilmun (modern day Bahrain?) if so, what’s the story there!
you're a world treasure cy

Thanks, Cy, I'm always interested to hear more about the Hyksos.
Have you considered making a video (or series) regarding the claims of Manetho and Josephus and their disputed belief about the Hyksos, Moses and the early Hebrews/Canaanites?
I personally think that some of the claims are spurious, but as with all myth, there's kernels of truth hidden within, and that people thousands of years ago knew things which scholars today never knew firsthand.
Thank you for this.
Hyksos are Gentiles aka canaanites not jews of way way later on.
Hi, thank you for stopping by and the comments, I really appreciate them! I know what you're referring to with regard to the Hyksos and will mention them in a separate Hyksos program I'd like to do. However, I don't remember specifically anything related to Moses and the early Hebrews/Canaanites. I need to reread Josephus though... I have an old copy of the Jewish War that I haven't touched in years... now would be a good time to read it! Thanks again and stay safe!

I think it would have been benefitial to expand more on the "ancestral homeland" bit, in terms of what exactly they would have shared that would positively impact relations. Was egypt controlled by people of a different religion, did they speak a different language, and so on. I don't like the term "ancestral homeland" cause there's always content hidden underneath it that would be interesting to learn about (besides modern political usage of the term).
@3:32 Ok now I must learn about the history and usage of the word asiatics because that’s I would have thought that would be too broad of a term to explain any group of people.

What history? There are no Canaanites for at least 3,000 years. The Israelis defeated them then and they walked down the world stage. Maybe your Hysteria?
🙌
Do you make a distinction between the Canaanites and the Hebrews? Or do their histories simply parallel each other?
Current research indicates Hebrews were the Canaanites.
Is the big red machine kane considered a cainanite?
this video is awesome!
I learned a fair amount of ancient Hebrew and some classical Aramaic academically, but I also speak some other languages. Honestly to me, it's as if "proto-Phoenician", "proto-Hebrew" and/or "proto-Canaanite" are nearly the same language (closer than other "Romance languages" are to each other seemingly). The vocabulary is nearly identical with what one could argue are minor dialectical grammar or conjugation differences. I have heard a tradition that different tribes had different dialects; and there is possibly even a reference to it surrounding the historical origin of the term "shibboleth" in English literature if one cares to look.
I appreciate you bringing up the fact a lot of names are historical exonyms, often from Greek or Latin. I would like to investigate further the real names of these peoples. For example, later on even the name "Peleset" recorded in Egyptian and Hebrew sources could be a Canaanite exonym from the root meaning "spreading forth" i.e. "the spreaders" i.e. "colonists" and not actually what they called themselves. There seems to be some genetic evidence as well that originally a more western Mediterranean population did settle and assimilate with local Canaanites in the case of the Peleset, if they are indeed the same as the Philistines. This would align more with other theories concerning the "Sea Peoples" and "bronze age collapse".
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, the kind words and the comments, I really appreciate them! Yeah, I'm fascinated with words and names too...there are so many words from the history of Mesopotamia (haha Mesopotamia being one of them) that are actually Greek and Latin names - so many Old Persian and Median names that the Greeks and later Romans couldn't pronounce and so they made their own - but it's fascinating to see in many cases how different they are and how they may have come up with them.
Anyway, thanks again for stopping by and more importantly, stay safe!
paleohebrew and aramaic are iron age languages born. Canaanite Phoenician Amarian Nabatean Languages were majors of the iron age when hebrew and aramaic as well as northern arabic in many forms including that which formed islamic arabic. Those three here have canaanite influence but are alot different.
Ancient Canaanite is not only different in exact ways and way older but purpose is uncorrupted that these later languages like hebrew/islam arabic are as.
Kanaan-Phoenician is much different
cannanites is spooke sanskrit aramaics iranians farsy dialects hebrew paleo siriac
In Hebrew (biblical and modern day) the root "PeLeSH" means "invasion/intrusion". I guess the Egyptians first learned of the Philistines from the Canaanites and just went with it.
How do you even find sources for all this? Trying to find TH-cam videos, documentaries, or books on Canaan is nearly impossible unless you want it from a religious perspective. Type in history of Canaan in TH-cam and you get a bunch of Curse of Canaan videos, type it into a documentary streaming service and you get a bunch about the Israelite conquest of Canaan, type it into various book selling websites and get more religious books than one would think necessary for a religion that says it’s truths are self evident. Anyway… just a late night rant after spending about 3 hours trying to find a long video on the history of Canaan.. I need like hour long minimum vids lol
Thanks for watching and glad this was useful! For the sources, there's a link in the video description, "Sources and Suggested Reading" that might be a good guide for you. Let me know if there is any other way that I can help. Thanks and more on the way, stay tuned and safe!

Hi, thanks for stopping by and your comment, I really appreciate it. Specific Israelite settlements I don't know about, but they are believed to have promoted several groups in Canaan, one of them being the people we know as the Philistines.

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I'm not sure what you mean by "missed the most important part that explains the origins as both the Persians and Greeks say they went to the Levant from further south." What are you referring to and please cite a source. Thanks and stay safe!
Excellent. I would remark that there was a strong Hurrian and Indo-European element among the Hyksos, notably among the leadership. The Hyksos were close cousins of the Kassites and the Mittanni. Very interesting period to be sure.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and your comment. Yes, you know that's an interesting point that I'm going to discuss in another vid on just the Hyksos. Basically has to do with horse burials, found in both Canaan and Egypt. The idea is that perhaps the Hyksos elite were of Hurrian or Indo-European origin due to their skills with the chariot and also these horse burials - or that they were Hurrianized Canaanites. It makes sense as only a few hundred years later, you have the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni clashing with the Egyptians in Canaan...perhaps the Hyksos were a precursor to this? Despite this very compelling hypothesis, the current, dominant theory is that the Hyksos were indeed Canaanites...and there is a good amount of evidence to support this too.
Anyway, enough of my rambling...thanks again for stopping by...stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy A more succinct and roundabout ramble does not yet exist, at least where the Hyksos are concerned. May there be many more to come!

'Hyksos' isn't Greek for anything; the etymology is ultimately Egyptian; it's just that the term came into historiography via its borrowed version into Greek (source: Wiktionary).
There is some evidence within the names that the Mittani were from South Asia/ Greater ancient Bharat/Hindustan/India.
The father of the Canaanites was Canaan,son of Ham, son of Noah.Other sons of Canaan were his oldest ,Sidon,father of the Phonecians.Sidon ,the city is named after him.Another son, Heth was the founder father of the Hittites.Sin,youngest son of Canaan,became father of the Sinites,one of the people groups making up the Chinese.We still use the word Sino, in Chinese world affairs; example,the Sono/Soviet border disputes in the1970,s, also Sino/Japanese war 1905.
So Moses was n't a semite since one out of his genure is the father of the non- semitic hittites !
Teuto, the benjamin of Moses , should be the father of the Germans .
And Meriko, the father of the (A)mericans !

Palistinians today were arab descendants from arabia...they are the descendants of the Philistines of ancient times.
Hi CY..
Great program as usual.
You mentioned that the Phoenician alphabet probably developed around the middle bronze Age which puts it around 1900BC tops and then also supposedly adopted by the Etruscans.
However this alphabet could not have been borne out of thin air..
At a very mundane level we're all aware that our solar system as well as our galaxy is governed by central spheres of influence. No different to life on earth. Here it's Government and politics I suppose. You know West/East blah blah!!
With that in mind I suggest that the 'then' sphere of cultural and linguistic influence was Vinca.
This is why I ask that you investigate the Vinca scripts, in your free time, particularly with attention to Phoenician and of course Etruscan alphabets. They're almost identical to Vincan or, lower Danubian scripts, as most Western scholars would prefer to call it, yet Vinca scripts predate Phoenician by three, yes 3, millenia.
Knowing this fact would almost certainly amend a very particular portion of the narrative in this story but that said, the rest of this piece is a very interesting account of the Cannanites just the same.
The Hyksos brought the horse, chariot, composite bow, bronze weapons etc. How in the world do ya think Canaan with is even less technologically advanced brought these things? Horse and chariot are more NE toward Anatolia.
Hi, thanks for stopping by. A lot of people adopted these things (as the Egyptians were to great affect after Hyksos rule). Chariots were adopted by many peoples, especially those in Mesopotamia, even though they weren't native to the region. Canaanite were also technologically advanced...after all, they did invent the first alphabet and were some of the best sailors and traders in the ancient world, even at that time. Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it...stay safe!
hittites was canaanites fathers of scityians saka turkhis iranians siberyans they domesticated horsses in siberya with lassou like siberyans today the rens
Why did you put canaan only in the south? Canaan mainly is lebanon of today.
Hi, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I mention that, especially in the previous video. However, as mainly events in the south and relations with Egypt were the main focus of this particular episode, the maps dealt more with the southern Canaan. In future episodes and even in a separate series on just the Phoenicians, I'll deal more with the Lebanese cities of Byblos, Sidon and Tyre.
Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Stay safe!
Sidon and Tyre were in Canaan. They were southern Levantine cities.
I am proud to be a Palestinian Canaanite from the beautiful city of Haifa that is open to the world.
You don’t know if you are a Canaanite
@@fabbeyonddadancer”people who have been living in the land of Canaan continuously for a thousand years aren’t real canaanites! Joshua from Brooklyn NY is though.”
Learn your own history
Those are Hebrews not Palestinian
The Hyksos (Egyptian), a dynasty of Palestinian origin, ruled northern Egypt as the 15th dynasty (c. 1630-1523 BCE) during the Second Intermediate Period.
How could they be of Palestinian origin over a thousand years before the region was named Palaestina?
hello, in the chronology of the bible, abraham lives between -1812 and -1637. Jacob lives between -1652 and -1532. So if the cannanites came in Egypt in -1900, we arent talking about Joseph just yet, who is supposed to be the son of Jacob

There used to be a movement called Canaanism that promoted the revival and study of Canaanite history and culture. I wish it was more successful, they're a neglected bunch.
If you want to get involved in canaanite culture please let me know! I'm an active member of that community
Hi, thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Interesting, I didn't know that, but I know that Kohan is really into all things Canaanite - he's given me some good topics to look into and definitely would know.
Thanks again and stay safe!
Wow, I didn't know that there was such an organization... interesting...thanks for sharing!
@@KohanKilletz Really? I've been wanting to learn more but there's so limited resources, hit me up
Great channel, I have some comments tho.
First is the audio, some of your content is louder, some are not.
I always have to have change the volume if I watch (and listen) to your videos.
Second a biblical bias..., I do not hate the bible, BUT (like most texts) it is full of propaganda and myths.
I know hieroglyphics texts are full of propaganda too..... But theirs is extinct..., it does not effect us as much.., biblical texts are still being used today (to do very bad things, sadly) it is for that reason I dismiss biblical texts (or most of it)
And I hope (and am sure) you will be able to solve the audio atleast, the second is a bit impossible (I know😉) yet considering it would be nice imo.
Greetings bibia
The canaanite were in between 2 great civilisations but egypt was large and presented better opportunities for them.. i believe the ones migrated did create an Assyrian like suburbs or sectors similar to the one found in Anatolia to trade with Egyptians then evolved into towns.
As for language.. they had the advantage of being exposed to cuniform and hieroglyphs which perhaps led them to come up with the best of both.. alphabet.
Husam, great to hear from you...it's been like a week but feels longer than that...haha I haven't put out a video for that long so maybe that's why. You know, that's a really good analogy ... Canaanites were to Egypt like what Assyrians were to Anatolia. I never thought of it that way but from what I've studied, I tend to agree, though I think the Assyrians had a lot more status in Anatolia than the Canaanites did in Egypt. Letters from Kanesh tell of how locals preferred their daughters marrying Assyrians because they were supposed to have been very wealthy. I think that most Canaanites in Egypt were more manual laborers, plus the ancient Egyptians also had a superiority complex and probably thought that they were less cultured than themselves. Interesting dynamic though.
Thanks again and I hope that all is well in the UK...stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy i agree .. good thinking cy. Stay safe yourself too.
I think you're gonna like the video coming out today...
how about talking about how it came from canaan to israeli. how israeli came from the canaan and the fact that the God Elohim comes from one of canaan God. which had the same name according to some people.
Canaan is Palestine not Israel. Israel is a theif s tdd are like it's so called old antecedent of unholy with the first jews/hebrews invading and trying to steal the land from the canaanites Palestine people. That's Fact know that.
The lands fake israel is occupying is palestine.
Palestine is a made up name given to the land by the Romes who called it after the Philistines who were European and were the archenemy of the Israelites. The notion that modern so called Palestinians are not just simply Arab immigrants is simply untrue. Keep faking and fabricating history.
Hyksos /Hurri / Golden Ade (Middle Bronze Age ) In the time of the Hyksos, Hierosolyma / later Jerusalem / was a small insignificant village. When some of the Hyksos went back to the steppe, the other part of them to Phenicia and Troy. The rest were driven out by Egypt. When some of the Hyksos went back to the steppe, the other part of them to Phenicia. The rest were driven out by Egypt.
King Asturi is galego portogale galicia galia land gale Britânia is thi historic
Not just iron age but bronze age too late bronze age the phoenicians were know not great sailors then but they were known the greeks and hittites/anatolians then.
While Semitic, I don't believe the scholarly consensus is that the Hyksos were specifically from Canaan.
I speak Hebrew, and it's amazing to me to see and hear this. all the words are almost Hebrew. the alphabet is incredibly similar. "Migdal" literally means tower in Hebrew.
Good algorythm, I like historical vids also I'm learning English so please suggest me more of this and not fucking stupid memes, thanks algorythm
Im not sure how this came across my mind naturally out of nowhere. But I'm studying from here on out. God said WAKE UP. ALL of this BS in the world. hold on. Open your eyes Now.
So Canaan, is Israel today?? That's very interesting!
Canaanites were ancestry of Palestinians today .
Most nowadays jews are Ashkenazi of khazars origin. Search utube.
Caspian sea used to be called khazars sea in Persians,Turkish and Azerbaijani maps, some of them until now.
@Rami Samer
Yes, now...but before eas canaan land..invasion of sea peoples replaced it to Philistines...
Thanks.
The Phoenicians founded Carthage the Phoenicians were the Canaanites and they founded Carthage
We Phoenicians and we canaanites had good well trade and friendships with Arabs to the south too in ancient saudi.
there is however a difference between Canaanite/Hebrew/Phoenician language and Punic
@@ibnyahud I'd say there are differences between all of them, but they're all still in the same linguistic family. As time went on, Neo Punic saw alterations by it's interactions with Numidians, Berbers and so on - though the other ones were not static either for that timeframe.
@@ibnyahud
Not really, punic is Phoenician in Latin and Phoenician is a Greek exonym to can'aan
@@morningmidnight9398 we aren't talking about the names of the languages or people (although that is as you mentioned), we are talking about the differences between the languages in composition
Y I no see comments?
But the Hebrews never originated in Canaan, Abraham was from the area where Iraq is now, as was his father. He was commanded by god to leave his fathers house and go to Canaan. From what the Bible says, Abraham’s family was a tribal system that migrated, they often met up with other tribes. There are also stories where the tribes of the region would inter-marry and that’s probably why the Hebrews are related to the Canaanite people. Also the sons of Jacob went into Egypt to buy food due to the seven year famine, but since Joseph the prophet was pretty much Vice President of the land, he invited his father and his brothers to live in the land. There were around 70 - 90 people total.
Abraham was a born Chaldean from the sumerian town of Ur in the Mesopotamia (Iraq)
I recently learned that there is evidence that Abraham lived during the middle Bronze Age.
