- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Carthaginians’ story began around 3,000 years ago when settlers left their homes in what is now Lebanon to set up new colonies around the Mediterranean. The most splendid and powerful of these settlements was Carthage, a bustling Metropolis in what is now Tunisia with a port that was the envy of the entire world.

Great video! You have honored the Lebanese people, Phoenicians, the founders, and ancestors of Carthage! Great job on showing the influence and legacy of our tiny nation.
A proud Tunisian is a proud Carthaginian 🇹🇳
As a Tunisian (from Tunis, where the leftovers of Carthage are nowadays ) I approve of this great documentary 🥹 thank you.
One of the very few videos of Carthage that actually go into more aspects than just war
Amazing!!
The Carthaginian were so advanced and ahead of their time
TRUE
Ancient Carthage was one of Antiquity's great cultures too bad we know little or a full Carthaginian document or artwork! Greetings from Mexico!
I am over 30 minutes in. No mention of Hannibal, elephants, or attempted sieges on Rome. This is an actual history documentary.
I was so happy to see this comment first.
About 46 minutes until Hannibal was mentioned.
@@Chris-qo2jx I'll never recover from this
Hanno the second betrayed the great general Hannibal Barca without Hanno the second there will be no Roman empire
Yep.
Man I got tears by d end of d video... 🙏🏻
Nice to see Prof Richard Miles in this - his own 2-part doco on Carthage is a must-watch!
..... Thanks for That tip Brett - (Richard Miles doc.,) 🌟🌟🌟👍

I love these documentaries. So interesting and educational.
thank you for a wonderful and insightful coverage of the mighty carthaginians 💫
Very well done…👍🏻👏🏻 Great script, great video quality, great focus on the subject, great tempo…..
We have so much thanks to the Carthageninans.
Best Carthage doc yet 👍🏼👍🏼
A great documentary. I enjoyed the cartoons as well. I learned a lot and thats what counts.
I so enjoyed that thank you so much
Amazing documentary 👏 ❤
In my country, Morocco, 13 cities were built by the Phoenicians. Lixus in Larache are the ruins of a large city older than Carthage, 8th century BC. Only 15% has been dug up. These cities were Phoenician at first, then they became under the domination of Carthage
Do you call yourselves Arabs? Maybe it should be Arabic.
@@aiurea1 the Arabic language is only the simplest language among the ancient Semitic languages. it's like a standard. The English language shouldn't have been the same 200 years ago, and yet it's only 200 years old.
@@slimaneismailli8732 how is it 200 years old only? I think you should stop calling yourselves arabs, you are different
@@aiurea1 200 years about our times. I wanted to make you understand that the languages are no longer quite the same over a short period of 200 years. so imagine periods of thousands of years. I am North African, and if you want to translate the writings on stelae, you must know Arabic and Libyan Berber. These languages are Semitic but they are different. Thousands of years ago and yet they are cousins
@@slimaneismailli8732 very intresting to hear that Berber is Semitic too
Richard Miles reminds me of that guy from Mitchel and Webb
Quality docu. Thanks
How amazing is this video!
excellent documentary!
0:20 both The purple dye and the alphabets were invented by the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians established Carthage as a trading colony that was populated by people from Tyre, Lebanon
Of COURSE the Carthaginians practiced child sacrifice. This doc does mention the sheer NUMBER of infant bones & Stieles found in Carthaginian burial grounds-far, far more than would ever have naturally died….
I just love these historians who adopt one “civilization” as their life’s work-they almost always lose perspective & skepticism, while falling in love with their subjects….
Bones are not a definitive answer that sacrifice did happen. Although I liked the 2nd paragraph you wrote, I tend to believe that we can't be sure if phoenicians/carthaginians did child sacrifice or not
I would love to go back and see them in their heyday.
Awesome video 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🏔️💪🏻🥂

I am able to write this thanks to the Carthaginians, damn Romans
Yes !! And the pesky gossipers greeks too!
The Latin Alphabet is still roman, it comes from the Greeks and greek comes from pheonician... if you write in pheonician you arent able to read much. What is taken from the phoenicians is mostly the idea that sounds can be turned into letters.
@@Alejojojo6 is that the first alphabet then?
@@Alejojojo6 Nope you are writing with phoenician Greek alphabets do not exist
The Punic alphabet must have come somewhere or evolved from somewhere earlier

ขอบคุณค่ะ
The sacrificial theory has been disproved...
I thought the narrator said a homo called them Phoenicians at 1:43 ... took me a second to register it was Homerus. The subtitles thought it was homo too.
Edit: absolutely love this channel! I'm watching an entire history episode every day before bed. THANK YOU Get.factual
Can’t take my eyes off this steely eyed historian dude. Prof. Richard Miles , University of Sydney. If he has students, I bet they’re never late for his class.
he was quite a character
Quite enjoyed his book on Carthage too.
Nonsense....Miles is a politically correct ideologue who couchs history in terms of modern history/attitudes....a fatal error....since efforts are made to change history to conform.....this reeks of Marxism....
A capable modern leader would have Miles strapped to a rack just to be on the safe side......
the acting, the costumes... Rome HBO level: bravo!
7:26 Phoenicians and Carthaginians described as "relatives"
We did not find any genes for them in Carthage 🤔
I wonder if any of the Carthaginian settlements in West Africa survived. And maybe Carthaginian influence was partially responsible for the Bantu expansion?
I doubt there were any settlements. They likely only traded.
Fun fact: the modern English word puny is a derogatory word that originates from Roman times applied to the Carthaginians.
Prof Richard Miles is great!
I totally agree, he’s one of my favorite historians on the subject of Carthage, Rome, and other Mediterranean civilizations.
*Phonecians absolutely did sail to Ireland, England, and the now USA, with "artifacts and Phonecian writings", etched in stone in several locations.* (Tin) + other resources.

wow
‘And Rome is a shitty little town nobody cares about’ 🤣🤣 wasn’t expecting that hahaha
It's so mysterious, all those events and glories appeared to happen in the lands of the Berbers , yet there has been no mention of any sort for their contribution or any roles they may have played.if it was not of the Numidians, the history would have taken another trajectory and shape.
The Noble Nation AMAZIGHS.
Miraculously, it happens to be again, the Barbarie in the same land will be the masters and Lords of the Mediterranean sea once more for two centuries from 1596 to 1830 .
@CARTHAGE TUNISIA HANNIBAL who were the Berbers in you opinion then?
The carthagenien were originally of canaanites descents who came from the East cost of the Mediterranean, they might be in couple or fewer thousands.
Certainly they wouldn't be able to occupy whole of north Africa and all the Med islands sicily, sardegna and bellaric islands and cost of Spain ..etc .
No mention of Cartagena? Odd
Wow, apparently both Egyptians and Phoenicians spoke Arabic.
egyptians and carthagenians/phoenicians were native Africans,ITS 2023
Baal and Astarte have a Warhammer 40K connection.
Does anyone know what he means at 26:15 when he says that ships were seen as living creatures? He doesn’t mean people actually thought ships were actually alive and therefore animals right? That would honestly surprise me
Philosophically. The same kind of care and consideration you would give a working animal, you might give a ship. They are brand new in the world, they may need maintenance, they age and become less capable, and finally there comes a time when they must return to the earth. If your civilization depends on ocean going vessels, then you'll have a high regard for them to the point of even divine influence.
@@fakshen1973 I see thank you!
Who's the queen spilling tea on the Phoenicians?
Prefabricated, coded, put together modules…. So, the first IKEA?
@4:03 This is not Phoenician this is Modern Standard Arabic. I speak Modern Standard Arabic and Lebanese Arabic and also studied Biblical Hebrew and Phoenician (including the Punic dialect, which includes Carthage). Phoenician is not an Arabic language but a Canaanite language, although Arabic and Phoenician belong to the Semitic branch.
for example he says for "500"
مئتان وخمسون
miʾatayn waḫamsūna
=250
Wrong translation and in the Byblian dialect of Phoenician from that era it would be actually
𐤌𐤀𐤕𐤌 𐤅𐤇𐤌𐤔𐤌
miʾtêma waḥamšūma
=250

@6:00 the Egyptians speak in Modern Standard Arabic, this is not Egyptian not accurate. Egyptian is not an Arabic language but belongs to the separate branch "Egyptian" of Afro-Asiatic, while Arabic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic branch Semitic.
Go check out the DNA studies and tests before embarrassing yourself
@@hosnimtir7469
Your comment is unrelated to my comment.
What's your point?
Languages do not equal ancestry or replacement of ancient previous cultures, ethnicities. This does not make Egyptians nor Lebanese "Arabs" in the true ethnic sense (defining Arabs as people who not just speak Arabic but also have a true Arab culture and are also connected by ancestry to an ancient Arab culture).
-
I am not an Arabist by the way and as a Lebanese I identify myself as a human and then Lebanese descending from Phoenician-Canaanites but also being Arabized linguistically because Phoenician is no longer spoken and Lebanese Arabic is not Phoenician and does not descend from it. But I do not identify myself as an Arab. The modern Arab identity is purely based on linguistics and not on cultural elements and emerged in the 20th century CE (It is defined like this: Everyone who speaks natively Arabic is an Arab). However speaking Arabic is not enough to claim to belong to a fully and true, actual Arab culture in the historical sense when the definition of "Arab" had a different meanng and was broader and included culture, ancestry, a certain area and other elements.
--
But yes I am aware of the DNA studies.
Modern Arabic speaking populations of the Canaan area are mostly Arabized and still descend from the local ancient populations in case of Lebanon it is the Phoenician-Canaanites. The modern populations of the Levant do not descend mostly from the Arabian peninsula nor from Arabs nor do the ancient populations of Canaan descend from the Arabian peninsula or from Arabs. The following are DNA studies of ancient and modern populations which back up what I said:

"On the other hand, Levant Arabs are distant from Saudis, Kuwaitis, and Yeminis, an indication that the contribution of the Arabian Peninsula populations to Levantine gene pool is low, probably due to the absence of the demographic aspect of 7th century invasion."
"The strong relatedness between Levant Arab populations is explained by their common ancestry, the ancient Canaanites, who came either from Africa or Arabian Peninsula via Egypt in 3300 BC [97], and settled in Levant lowlands after collapse of Ghassulian civilization in 3800-3350 BC [98]"

But my point in my previous comment still stands:
Lebanese Arabic for example belongs to the Levantine Arabic branch of the Arabic languages and not to Phoenician. The same counts for the languages of modern Egyptians they are Egyptian Arabic languages. Only the liturgical language of the Copts called Coptic is a descendant of the ancient Egyptian language. All modern spoken Arabic language did not evolve directly from Classical Arabic nor from Quran Arabic and did not evolve in a linear way but they are linguistically Arabic.

2:27 they called their land Knun. Read up
Great documentary except for the dialogues being in modern Arabic... Carthage (modern day Tunisia) was arabized in the 7th century AD which makes it impossible for Carthaginians to be speaking Arabic at the time of Hanno, Hannibal, etc.
E NATIVE AFRICANSIN AGAIN CARTHAGENIANS WHO
correct me if I am wrong! but logically speaking the first to build a boats must be the ones who lived on an island first yes!? maybe ... Crete... minoan empire but then again who am I ...you seem to know the facts...
Phoenicians are speaking ARABIC @4:17 Original IKEA shipbuilders!
Regarding child sacrifice, the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans who lived at the same time said they sacrificed their children. Dr Moncef Ben Moussa of the modern world, couldn't be. 🙄
Just because they all said that, doesn't make it true.
They're not speaking Phoenician, they're speaking ARABIC lol
Really dislike the close captions. I barly see them let alone read them.
turn them off.
The purple dye was minoan first.
Check, the DNA reflects Phonecian, I believe.
@@bethbartlett5692 the purple came from shell fish not the actual people. Minoans discovered how to make it . Pheonetians inherited and spread the knowledge and it was no longer unique.
@@crackin2000
I understand, my point is both knew the process of extracting the purple dye.
A shared knowledge, because the are the same Peoples. The Phonecians are also known as the Carthagenans, the Punics, and some believe the Minonians were either Phonecians too or influenced by them.
Confusion comes with the varied references to them, via Greeks, Romans, etc.
DNA Mapping of migrations has helped this get clarity.
That's not 'phoenician' it is the VInca symbols found in eastern europe
I dont think phoenicians neither Egyptians at that time spoke arabic😢
Whaht about berbers ? they were inexistant at that time ???
Because their contribution is always ignored and négliged and disguised by the 'punic' word.
The language was Punic, wasn't it? Why is it called Phoenician here?
3 names for the same people. They are called differently by who is calling them, their language and culture.
It doesn't make sense for the story of the pupp picking up the snail and his mouth turned purple because of every thing else that has to be added to it? the
Near East?? What Near East? You called out Homer for using 'Phoenicians' and then get someone to call the Carthaginians from the "Near East' as 'imperialist'...hah
What language did they speak?
Punic
Why did the assyrians speak arabic at the beginning?
He's so sassy, isn't he
The Assyrians sound more like the English, the Romans.
I guess I'll have to add ships to the list of things Greeks took from other cultures but is never credited
Bhaal worship ? Still happens
the history channel form of presentation must die. Your intentions in this nice little film may be well, but many see the reenactment style as an insult to intelligence and time wasted. Example, you already talked about the ship production. Why was their a need to waste time and money on a rehash reenactment, when you could have elaborated on something else. More could be covered with simple discussion and presentation with or without visual aids, and still come out better than the speculative and more often than not, inaccurate reenactment.
Which was the worst? The Carthaginians? Or, the Romans? 💀
unfortunately, all information about Carthage, etc., comes from their enemies. Sorry, much of this, including the gods and child sacrifice, is not verified

Please, please, please - where is a history video that does not have a budget for awful stock soundtracks? 😢
Nice, one criticism. I didn't know who some of the speakers were until like 1/2 way through they get an identification on screen (like the Sydney professor for example). Let me know who is speaking when they appear on screen. The reason being sometimes someone says something nutty and you want to look it up and find out references on the speaker. Otherwise, well put together docco.
You must have missed the first introduction of Prof. Miles starting at 2:34 because they introduce him within 5 seconds of when he starts talking at 2:31. Maybe check the facts before you criticize?
@@CFinch360 Bo is suggesting to put the names up every time they switch to the various profs.
Carthago delenda est
20:35 - No Hebrew human sacrifice? Read Judges 11:30-39. That's one they didn't cover in Sunday school.
Absolute nonsense. They were not the first to build ocean going vessels. Thousands of years before them, reed ships were sailing the Oceans and trading internationally. Plank ships were copies of these reed ships.
then who was first?
Arabs are the origin of civilization, the rest of the peoples were trapped by ice
phonecian alphabet is the origin of all western alphabets? so the romans had no alphabet before their contact with carthage?
you got it wrong mate. In fact phoenician alphabet is the origin, right. But you are jumping from one era to another. Even if the Carthaginian are originated from Tyre, populated by the phoenician...there is a large gap of time between these two periods.
So to answer your second question, the romans had an alphabet...to make it simple, and also the etruscan, which were on the paeninsula italica.
@@sun_land i know, this is why i ask, in the doc the guy said the ph alphabet is the origin of all western a. He did not say nothing from this time period to this time period
Just specifically the one we use now maybe
@@sadpanda3431 phoenicians are older than rome, and carthage was founded a bit sooner than rome too
Bizarre lecturers-Miles, stand up straight-your delivery is swishy and distracting- what are you selling?
Wrong civilization bro.
Phoenicians truly R d missing link of human history... In relevance with not only trade but also, modern global languages,art, architecture,war tactics, technology as well as d sense of adventure and patriotism.....and all of that in a friendly business manner unless in d position of self defense..... check out Baalbek and d port cities in Lebanon,,Byblos tyre...some impossible stone work yet existing in plain sight...
Up until yesterday, I thought the Phoenicians were named after the Phoenix.
Homer set me straight. It's because Phoenicians were purple . . . with one eye, one horn and . . . I mean, they WORE purple. My baaa'd. Never before have so many educated people lived so freely, so abundantly, and so Connected to a shared, worldwide experience . . .
it's GUARANTEED to Wake THIS Generation Up!
I think Richard Miles looks drunk and especially after he describes early Rome as a “shitty little town.”
He is a strange one him like 🥺
He said that Rome was “Hicksville on the river Tiber”, which it was at the time. Rome was a more modest city compared to Carthage at that time.
Rome is a shitty City.

@@ahmedelakrab I don’t think we need to redefine anything as this is a very very old concept that goes back to the beginning of time. Being pedantic won’t change history.

I thought maybe they talk a little Arabic because there is Arabs at Levantine
Arab is from the Arabic penninsula. Both from the semitic family but unable to understand each other. Arabs in the Levant came thousands of years later.
