Hello my friend. I send my love and prayers to the people of Lebanon.

You left the important colony of Malta! The Phoenicians settled in Malta around the year 700 B.C. They were creative merchants, expert seafarers and adventurous explorers. They used the Maltese islands as a stop on their trade routes. They built a Punic temple to Astarte at Tas-Silg site incorporating upstanding remains of an earlier prehistoric temple.

Second, in Ancient Greek mythology the presence of Phoenicians is significant. Kadmos, a Phoenician is said to have founded the historical city of Thebes in Greece. The name Europe is according to the Greeks a Phoenician name. So , modern civilization ows a lot tp the Phoenicians. And it is rather ironic that the continent which would become the main Roman powerbase bears a Phoenician name. Thank you once again for this excellent presentation.

Phoenicians were black ethiopians please be careful my friend. No debate I can do this all year.

Anybody noticed the resemblance and the similarities between the ancient island city-state of Tyre, which had a powerful maritime empire, and the modern island nation-state of great Britain, which has been a great maritime and sea power for centuries?

The great French writer Colette (first woman writer to be honoured by the Academie Francaise) was originally named "Sidonie" - from Sidon. The name is regaining popularity, as indeed are the Phoenicians, those elusive, talented, brilliant merchants, quintessential mediterraneans.

After watching the presentation for a second time, I would say that you answered your own question about the settlements of Cerro del Villar and Malaka. The trade for minerals was established at Gadiz and the eastern coastline was much more fertile for the development of the vines and olive cultivation. It takes many decades for the roots to be productive and they have to be nurtured for a steady viable crop. Hence some generations of farmers would have to reside in the area before this commodity could be profitable. The Phoenicians would have to establish a settled colony before the wine and oil could be harvested. That would also need skilled workers for the production, no doubt transferred from the Sardinia colony.

"Kalvabeite" means Calfpasture (calf-chewing/biting) in Norwegian referring to where young calves would first be placed securely before being let loose among the herd. And a "pasture" is usually a small lot surrouded by stone-walls constructed from the stones that slowly work their way up through the soil. So you could say that each letter of the Alphabet represents a particular shape of your mouth (constructed pasture) and how your tongue (calf) is situated within it. This theory also makes for an intuitive bridge from pictoral language into Alpabetical language. Odin (Wotan-az, "waterbird") is a version of Thoth and would be the SAME source as where the phoenecians got their language.

@@moodist1er That’s big talk from someone who can’t spell “Dude.” The prof explains clearly that scholars mainly use Egyptian, Hebrew, and Greek sources because there aren’t nearly as many Canaanite sources available. Every culture builds on previous cultures. And the Hebrew texts he mentions far pre-date the Roman occupation of the area (which the Romans renamed Syria Palestina). Also, the term “Israel” is used to describe the kingdom by the ancient Assyrians in a war text, independent of Hebrew texts and centuries prior to Alexander, let alone the Romans. So I guess it depends on how you cherry pick your “historic record.” BTW I notice you don’t critique his use of Greek or Egyptian sources, which also built on more ancient cultural traditions. Or critique the academic world’s use of the Greek name “Phoenicia” rather than the names the peoples of Canaan called themselves. There’s a difference between the way contemporary scholars use ancient sources and the way religious apologists do, even if they reference the same sources. BTW there’s a strong contingent of archaeologists, linguists, and other scholars who assert that the ancient Israelites were a group that originated in Canaan, who escaped the general collapse of the Canaanite cities and settled in the central highlands of the area, away from the coast. Or are you too blinded by bigotry to care?

It also contains historical events that we can cross-check with records in Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, etc and confirm happened. It's not absurd to look at the Biblical accounts of Phonecia, their closest neighbor and frequent ally, and try to sift out some truth. Certainly it shouldn't be taken as absolute though. As with any Iron Age record (or any other period for that matter), the more attestation you can find from different groups, the beter.

The Phoenicians formed the Mediterranean as we know it today, because of their alphabet and trading network. Indeed they built the foundation of the western world.

"... _tell_ being the Arabic for the ruin-mound." I must admit I'd thought of _tell_ in Arabic as 'hill', though it obviously means 'ruin-mound' as a technical archaeological term in _English._ Well, here's Lane (who tells us that _talla_ means 'to throw down'): Quote: تَلٌّ, accord. to Lth, [and accord. to general present usage,] *A mound, or hill, of dust, or earth, [or rubbish,] pressed together, not natural:* but this is a mistake [if meant as an explanation of the proper application], for with the Arabs it signifies *a natural hill:* En-Nadr says that it is of the smaller sort of إِكَام [pl. of أَكَمَةٌ]; it is of the height of a house, or tent, and the breadth of its back is about ten cubits; it is smaller than the أَكَمَة, has fewer stones, gives growth to nothing good, and its stones are compacted together exactly like those of the أَكَمَة: (T:) [the mound, or artificial hill, above mentioned, is what is meant by its being said,] the تَلّ of dust, or earth, is well known: and the word signifies also a heap of sand: (M, K:*) in both of these senses from التَّلُّ signifying “ the throwing upon the ground” anything of a corporeal kind: (M:) also *a hill (M, K, TA) overtopping what is adjacent to it:* (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَتْلَالٌ (M, TA) and أَتُلٌّ (TA) and [of mult.] تِلَالٌ (T, S, Msb, K) and تُلُولٌ. (TA.) A2: Also *A pillow:* pl. أَتْلَالٌ, which is extr.: or the pl. signifies certain sorts of cloths, or of garments: (K, TA:) or, as some say, of pillows. (TA.) تَلَّةٌ [inf. n. un. of 1, by Golius erroneously written تُلَّةٌ, and wrongly explained by him,] *A single act of pouring [&c.].* (T, K.) B2: *A single act of lying upon the side.* (K.) A2: See also تَلْتَلَةٌ. That sounds to me like the English "mound" in general.

Where is Ugarit in your account? Your maps all seem to stop just south of the site. But we have several Ugaritic libraries, and know quite a lot about their society. Seems to me that Ugaritic seafarers would have had good motivation to travel when their city was destroyed. Ugarit was the terminus of the silk route, and the nearest Canaanite city to Cyprus. It was the interface with the Hittites (Hatta).

Having studied the Phoenician exodus from the Levant to Carthage, I have yet to read/hear any definitive explanation of what was the final straw that drove them out of the Levant for good.

Very good lecture. But he didn't mention genetics. The Canaanites, and especially the Phoenicians were white. They were Levantine/Caucasian. This is important because a lot of people try to appropriate our Phoenician heritage, including Black Nationalists.

Phoenicia's influence is certainly remarkable. However, its influence on ancient Hebrew culture is exaggerated here. Recent archaeological findings such as the Mt Ebel led curse tablet are examples of how the Hebrew developed otherwise. It is also curious that a significant omission is that a key used to determine if an archaeological site is Phoenician in origin is the presence of massive graves from infant sacrifice. This typical practice of Phoenicia was abhorrent to the Jewish religion.

So the Tabernacle is Canaanite architecture?

All of a sudden, people didn't have to memorize hundreds of symbols to learn to read and write which becomes a far more accessible skill. The addition of vowels changes little by comparison.

NB: The Phoenicians did a great job of their homeland, while we, the modern Lebanese, ruined it.

The phoenicians left no culture. No one has adopted their alphabet except for the greeks! That means something. Because they were just traders and sacrificed children

Well they worked bloody hard while being 'just traders' as you say. They built the Temple of Salomon, they invented glass, modular ship-building. The silver Shekels used in the second temple were minted in the city of Tyre. They discovered Africa and the word 'Gorilla' is actually Phoenician. They founded Cadiz, Sevilla, Barcelona, Palermo, Lisbon... They indeed gave the Alphabet to the Hebrews, the Iberians and to the Greeks who later passed it on to the Romans and the Vikings etc. So as you can see, we would not have the pleasure to read your interesting words without the Phoenicians. But I take it your specialty is rather the times of the dinosaurs...

@@mago9450 what do you find so special about it. They didn't found any cities just commercial branch which later became cities. Glass invented the Egyptians, coins the Lydiens. They adopted the script from Ugarit. And their other discoveries have only been revealed today. So no culture transfer. And the most important, they sacrificed children!

@@tyranosaurusrex8781 I regret to say your account has zero credibility. You don't even know that Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23/24 - 79), called Pliny the Elder detailed how the Phoenicians invented glasswork and that Phoenician cities were manufacturing glassware to the whole Mediterranean. You don't even know that today in Sarafand, Lebanon (old Sarepta), there is still glassware manufacturing based on traditional Phoenician techniques... People get educated before writing.

@@tyranosaurusrex8781 well I suggest you first go and learn what the word 'Culture' means and maybe we can educate you with that as well.

Cheek the Alfabet in Albenian, The Alfabet of Elbasan, Dhaskal Todri, Alfabet, is the saem with this Alfabet, Foenic,

I think civil freedom caused the bronze age collapse. Wilderness freedom and civil freedom are quite different.

I just found that his use for the bible as a historical fact and some of its characters as real, while this is still up for debate and most likely not true, is biased and unethical..

archeology should not be about trying to prove the bible or your religion is "accurate" and that patriarchy is the only form of existence

The Phoenisians Are The Canaanites ... All The Syrian Coast from Gaza South in Palestine ( Not Israel ) till The Northern Syrian Coast ... They Are The Same Nation ... Phoenicians is Their Greek Name ...

Phoenicians are Lebanese from Lebanon

Phoenicia is Lebanon.

AMAZING. ....AMAZING but hidden that the phoenicians were black ethiopian people. They began carthage and we fully know of carthage. Beautiful hidden history.

Only fraught in America where they still believe in Bronze Age sky gods
