- Who were the Phoenicians? Creators of the Alphabet
Support new videos from Epimetheus on Patreon! :D
/ epimetheus1776
The earliest rendition of a fully useable Alphabetic script was from the Canaanite city of Ugarit (just north of Arvad of the coast of the Levant in modern day Syria), just before the bronze age collapse 1300-1190 BC. The Ugaritic alphabet is the direct ancestor of the later Phoenician alphabet which they exposed the entire Mediterranean world to and other Alphabetic scrips evolved from that-One of which I am using now to write this comment

One of the most underrated peoples in history, considering how much they contributed. Most records of them come from their enemies, Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews.
I aree. I would not really called Hebrews their enemies. They had quite close ties and trade was a big factor between Israel and Phonecian cities. Also some information about for instance currency used in Kingdom of Israel comes from archeological sites in former Phonecia, so sometimes it is other way around.
@Truth prevails
Moon is greek too
Get the fuck out of here
@Truth prevails According to Greek Mythology, Phoenix came from Phoenicia, not Greece.
The Hebrews weren't their enemies. Where did you get that from? On the contrary - the bible says the Phoenician kings had good relations with the Israelite kings and helped to build their temples.
E B First time hearing this, what is the source and background of this info, i really do not think this is consensus amongs historians.
Fun fact: Many uncovered grave stones of Carthaginians read "sons of Tyre". Carthage made annual voyages to their smaller sister city to give trbute in heaps of gold and resources. Carthaginians never seemed to have lost the connection to the motherland.
Manaqa...The motherland of Carthagenians were native black and brown Africans.The Phoenicians were Egyptians.The obvious truths of this history are coming to fuision.In addition native Africans inhabited Carthage long before the Egyptians settled there.
@@matiusbond6052 Native Africans were being hunted by lions, crocs, and hyenas and trampled by elephants lol. Even the people of the land of Kush, the region south of Egypt, were actually just ancient Arabs.
Both of the two earlier comments are wrong. Carthage was not black, and the kushites were Africans not arabs. That's like calling the ancient Egyptians, Arabs
Arabs weren't even in Africa enmass at that point
@@muhammadedwards8425 10% of comments on any video on ancient history will be people asserting that their own nation or ethnicity are in fact the centre of the universe

@@sfccapello

@@eliran9231 aramean brother, our ancestors come from Antioch, Aleppo, damaskus, Nisibis, Harran.
I've recently been reading about how they may have circumnavigated africa. Interesting people, great stuff!
I believe they probably did, and probably made it to Scandinavia too, seeing as it is not that far from Britain who they bought tin from.
They did for sure, this is attested by Egyptian records (the Egyptians paid for the trip) and the most notorious evidence of its truthfulness is something that raised many eyebrows back in the day: they claimed to have seen the Sun to the North at noon. Another great Phoenician (Carthaginian) sailor was Hanno the navigator, who traveled all the way to Cameroon (documenting an eruption of the volcano of the same name) and further south maybe to Congo but didn't find anywhere interesting to trade with so they came back empty-handed.
More difficult to believe is their alleged arrival to America based on some stuff found in Brazil (unsure of the details right now) but in any case it's clear to me that if Carthage would have won the Punic wars, America would have been "discovered" by Westerners a thousand years earlier than it was. Those people were real sailors, not like landlubber Romans.
As for Scandinavia, it's now clear that Greeks went all the way to that area, so why not Phoenicians whom we know were trading at Cornwall for tin?
@@EpimetheusHistory they were i belive the first outsiders to reach the coast of west africa which is actually pretty impressive considering it was easier to cross the sahara desert that particular tropical region is difficult for sailing apparently greek accounts say that hano the navigator was trading with mysterious men past the pillars of Hercules historians believing those mysterious men to be the sonnike peoples and other carthage accounts of encountering tiny men near what some believe is Cameroon possibly mubuti pygmies
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soninke_Wangara
Necho II of Egypt is the one who financed and sent the voyage
@@LuisAldamiz "they claimed to have seen the Sun to the North at noon". This is probably the most amazing statement I've ever heard about an ancient civilization. How could they have known that unless they had actually crossed the Equator? And how far South did they go? Did they reach the Sinai peninsula from the south? How did they equip their ships? How many people did they contact? So many questions

Yeah but Lebanese have been mixed with Arabs, Greeks, French , Armenians and Turks. Saying your just one thing is king of contradicting and certainly deceiving.
@@lb3843 wrong we have little to no Greek, Armenian and French in our dna. 93% of our genetic ancestry is Phoenician
Sorry to break the news but most Lebanese people have arab blood and those who do have Phoenician blood aren’t pure they’re mixed with other ethnicities like Turks and Arabs
I doesn't really get better than this. What I love about Epimetheus' videos is that they are extremely concise, but filled with enough detail to pique one's interest and point us in the right direction for further research.
I'm Portuguese and we learn in school about how the Phoenicians and Carthaginians influenced the Iberia language and culture but we aren't even taught from where those 2 nations came from ! Ty for this video.
Also, dude from the thumbnail looks badass
I don't see that much of influence because the Iberian Peninsula was romanized to a great degree later (two emperor were patricians born there) and while the Lusitanians kept fighting Romans for some time, the majority of local inhabitants of what would be labelled later as Hispania, were likely to be ethnically Celts. Even after Roman collapse it was the Visigoths who took over, and in general they assimilated more of the local culture, than imposed theirs (for example, they eventually converted from Arianism to Trinitarianism) only with the Muslim invasion, there was a big shift in local culture and language, that not only evolved naturally as Latin did everywhere, but also assimilated Arabic words.
@@Neomalthusiano It wasn't just the Lusitanians who kept fighting the Romans. It took the Romans just over 2 centuries even after the fall of Carthage and Hannibal to subdue and Romanize most of the Celtic and Iberian tribes in Hispania. They lost a few legions in the process. I read somewhere that even the women from some of the tribes in the north charged the Romans never showing their backs to them, preferring to die in battle or even choosing to kill themselves and their children rather than be taken as slaves by the Romans.
th-cam.com/video/itlWI8Y9-kg/w-d-xo.html
edstar83 The Celtiberian groups to hold out longest against Romanization were the Astures and the Cantabri of the North. Caesar Augustus himself had to personally lead his legions deep into the Cantabrian highlands and have his generals bribe the most corruptible elements of the neighboring lowland clans in order to finally put an end to the protracted Cantabrian Wars. (Some of the surviving Cantabri would go on to accompany the Romans later in various campaigns in Britannia.)
Interestingly, the Cantabri [still strongly Celtic in orientation and among the least Romanized groups inhabiting the peninsula] were the first Iberian group to be formally integrated into the nobility of the Visigothic court - in recognition of the critical role they played in aiding Don Pelagius’ forces in the destruction of the Muslim horde during the battle of Covadonga. This Celtibero-Gothic union was formalized via the marriage of Pelagius’ daughter to the son of Peter of Cantabria.
the union of Don Pelagius’ daughter and the son of Duke Fruela of Cantabria. (They would go on to have an heir who would be formally recognized as the first of king of Hispania, Alfonso I of Asturies.)

I feel somewhat sorry for the Phoenicians, just because they settled in North Africa, now we have Hoteps and other crazies trying to claim that Carthaginians were Sub Saharan Africans and that Hannibal was as dark as a ninja
You guys are fucking idiots.
@@MrPanos2000 Oh Tariq Nasheed does that to Asians too, he painted blackface over Kublai Khan's retainers and said Ninjas were black
You guys are talking about the African-American Bantus from west Africa who claim everything
, The Phoenicians are Afroasiatic people from the semitic branch, They're related to Ethiopians who are also Semitic and Somalis who are Cushitic, Africa is a continent and sub-saharan Africa is just a geographic location not a race or ethnicity
Turkic nationalists do this as well and so did the Nazis to an extent with the whole Aryan thing. It’s not just unique to Afrocentrist circles. Typically nationalists try to claim credit for events they personally had nothing to do with of people they never met to try to make up for their own personal lack of accomplishments in life. It’s quite pitiful really.
@@zyzmys That's wrong the Phoenicians were Canaanites (the Canaanites where descendants of Kham: the son of No'akh) The Ethiopians ain't Shemetic! The Ethiopians are Khamitic! As is also the Somalis. And these "Bantus" that you had mentioned either came from Kham or they came from Shem.... they didn't come from nobody!
A superb journey in time and knowledge ...Happy to see everything did not go up in smoke, well done!👌
"Europe" comes from "Europa"= a Phoenician princess.
@Truth prevails Greek mythos was influenced by Egyptian and Phoenician mythos. Hermes being the Greek version of the Egyptian Thoth for example. Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are influenced by the Phoenician division of gods. The Greek language itself derived from the Phoenician script. And for good measure, Greeks suffered from a high rate of sickle cell thalssemia, you'll figure out the significance of that fact later. Just thought I'd include some historical facts to your rant. And please tell us during what Egyptian dynastic period did "Greeks reign in Egypt's forgotten past". Egyptian dynastic records are very clear. Anything pre dynastic would be Ethiopia Sudan region as the ancient Egyptians clearly claim as their origins.
@Truth prevails "Are Egyptian and Phoenician older nations than Greeks"? If you have to ask that you shouldn't be telling anyone anything
@Truth prevails they influence eachother its not that hard to grasp
@Truth prevails not everything is invented by the Greeks.

Nope, the Israelites (who descend from the same people -- the Canaanites -- and EVEN TODAY share J2-M172 DNA with Druze/other Phoenicians) also used deep purple frome a particular anthropod species for THEIR royalty, and EUROPEAN MEDIEVAL KINGS then spread/emulated that, and everything else they learned in the Torah about Davidic Kingdom, but Euro Kings knew next-to-nothing about Phoenicia using purple or other Phoenician practices, because Europe's "God," Jesus, was a JEW, NOT A PHOENCIAN. :-)

Hey man great work about phonecians im already working on a thesis about them! Really like to see your sources as well in the description could come use of it.
Thank you, i liked this a lot. It makes me crazy that there is almost no record of their spectacular contribution to the world mostly it seems because they used paper and left nothing in granite or other hard rock. They invented writing as we know it but didn't back- up their writing with a hard copy. I love those weird Pheenician figurines - i listened to the lecture by Dr. Scott - I have no doubt you know the work. It was great. would like to see more. Thank you for this.

The recommendations in my sidebar are so awful. I think because you wrote the word "alphabet" in your video, it's recommending me all these "know your ABC's" children's videos. Amazing how bad that algorithm is. Great vid. Did you know the Phoenicians possibly had an outpost off the shores of Maine?
Great video, it is tragic that the history of such great explores who could rival the Greeks has been lost, and that they have disapeared unlike others like the Persians, Greeks and Assyrians.

Thanks! Ghostface Warrior
sir please please please reply that you will make a video on Rajput of India
I remember watching a video that Phoenician was influenced from the ancient Egyptian language. Not sure if thats correct though.
Indeed! The Ugaritic alphabet comes from proto-sinatic script, which is a simplification of Egyptian hieratic, which is in turn a quick way to write the hieroglyphs.
This means that the Phoenician alphabet, and by extension the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic scripts are all descendants of the hieroglyphs!
The patron of Tyros and other Phoenician places like the island of Tasos, was Melkart. The temple in his honour in Cádiz (Iberia) was associated to Hercules by the Greek.

I always did think North Africa and the Levant are oddly simular.
Before levant was the extension of egypt
they look very semilar, probably clustered a thousand times
They're both Eurasian and their languages are from the same language family (Afro-Asiatic).
Also, Ancient Egyptians shared most of their genetics with the Bronze Age and Neolithic Period populations of the Levant.
ISAAC BAKAN...how could north Africa and Levant be similiar? There was NEVER any Lebanese language or culture in Africa. The original phoencians were black and brown prople of those regions as confirmed by Herodotus,GREEKS,the Bible and much more.
From what I can tell, most of North Africa has Berbers indigenous to it. The Arabs there may have come from the Levant.

Good video. 2 problems. Regarding your comment, ugaritic is not a direct ancestor of the Canaanite alphabet, it used a cuneiform script. Second problem, there is no evidence of Hebrews invading the land of Canaan, they were probably a local group that united with others to create Israel, since their language is almost identical to Phoenician.

What little Punic I've seen is still mutually intelligible with Hebrew. Carthage in Punic is "Qart Hadasht," meaning "the new town." In Hebrew this is "Kiryat HaHadasha."
in Arabic it's "Qarya hadetha قرية حديثة"
You are pushing me into learning hebrew or arabic 🧐
Lux Vult You could try to bring back Punic. I’m told Lebanon is going through a whole “rediscovering our Phoenician roots” thing lately.
The Saracen Arabic is a much later language.
@MICHAEL GOLD I'm well-aware. But Hebrew had an advantage in that it was brought back by people who didn't already have a common language. Everyone in Lebanon already speaks Arabic. This is the problem Celtic languages are having as well.

سلم عليه
atleast lebanon is mentioned in the Bible, no mention of the word Kurdistan tho.
But who is this Messiah? One man fulfills all that is required in this passage. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the Jewish world and proclaimed his messiahship 483 years after the decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem was issued. In the year 30 C. E., Jesus was executed by crucifixion. Daniel indicated that he would be cut off, not for himself, but rather for others. Isaiah 53 also prophesied the death of the Messiah, pointing out that he would die a substitutionary death on behalf of his people Israel. The teaching of the New Covenant is that Jesus died a penal death by taking upon himself the penalty of the Law as a substitute for his people. In keepinng with Daniel 9:24, he died for the purpose of making an atonement for sins. Three days after his death, he was resurrected. Finally, the New Covenant proclaims the fact that he will someday return to set up his kingdom and the age of righteousness.
If Daniel was right, then Messiah came and died prior to the year 70 C.E. If Daniel was right, then there are no other options for who the Messiah is, but Jesus of Nazareth. If Daniel was right, this Jesus is destined to return and to set up the messianic kingdom.

Just layed down in bed and TH-cam notifies me that a new map porn video is out...
Tf I just read
Can you do the history of countries
What I have heard or read before is that their boats were built like Ikea furniture, and the Romans figured it out and ended up copying it and making it better. I'm sure they live on in most of the people of the region as they were absorbed into the empires surrounding
🇱🇧proud by the way you can know much about them here by visiting musume or their old capital Byblos and so on ....
First YEET! On another note, thanks for uploading this. I've wanted this topic for a while.
A lot of people water this topic...

I thought it was a pun. Because the Pheonecians were great sailors.
@@SomeGuy1117 I'm such an idiot...
*SIGH* thanx for the compliment anyways, for my unintentional comedy 👍
Make one about Tartessos, plz
Oh yeah, that would be cool
Like the ancient Celtiberian civilisation indigenous to Spain?
BTW Jonah the prophet escapes there in the biblical tradition (as it was the remotest location back then)
Thanks for this great information sir but I want to know do you really find the ancient nations of Israel or Judah in Egyptian phoenician Mithani sources I mean many historians have just nullified the idea of the Hebrews settling in Cannan before the conquest of Cyrus the Great or kurush e buzarg as he is known in farsi please make a video on this... Thank you
I know about assyrian source fron 700 bc where the assyrian king write about his conquest of the middle east and Judah kingdom revolts
Can'aan not Phoenicia. They never called themselves phoenicians
True
True. Phoenicians is what the Greeks used to call them.
Same in modern names u cant say masr in english u should say egypt
Lobnan =lebanon so its greek or roman names because the different of languages
They called themselves Kena'ani .
In this video whos talking is not one of them 🤔
Apparently they (carthage) were the first to sail along the west african coast trading Things for gold of the coast of west africa
You are one true piece of historian. You don't mock nations based on war results like The Armchair Historian and your arguments are connected between each other and very interesting. Keep it like that!
Giving city names in punic / phoenician along the more well known outside naming would have been informative without costing more than a second.
I love these videos about all of these ancient civilizations, anything past Justinian bores me (except the mongols and the Byzantines) so the older the better!
Da funk you said about Justinian?
@@andrewchedid7310 That anything AFTER him is boring.
I disagree, Basil II is bae.
There some good stuff past Justin...chck Rosalia for exmple, she's the new hot thing.
Anything past Justinian bores you? Sounds like you don't appreciate South Asian and East Asian history very much, then, because medieval India and China had large prosperous empires, like the Chola dynasty of southern India that conquered much of Southeast Asia, or the Tang dynasty of China that invaded northern Korea, retained northern Vietnam, conquered much of southern Mongolia and eastern Central Asia, and fought the Tibetan Empire.
Eric Connor I’ve tried to get into eastern history and mythology but once you past Mesopotamia I just lose interest.
