Tunisia as a whole has actually more Roman ruins than Italy as the arid, dry weather makes preservation much easier than in Italy. Tunisia bears the marks of multiple empires spanning millennia and is worth visiting, not just the capital, but even the desert hides secrets and fun that most tend to ignore as they make their way to Spain or other tourist destinations.

The runins you think are Roman are actually Carthage's ruins, which is why there are more of them, as Carthage has about 500 years of history until Rome unified on Italian territory and symbolically destroyed the main government buildings in Tunis during the wars that country subjugated. The winners wrote the story as if they had built it and taken over everything that was already there😊

I feel like Tunisia as a whole is such an underrated country, I'm so glad you're covering it!

I loved visiting Tunisia in January this year. Carthage is an amazing place with do much history. My favourite place i visited though was the magnificent colloseum at El Jem ! I was literally the only tourist there ! Did you go there ?

I love hearing people that are knowledgeable and passionate about history, talk :) Beliz seems like a wonderful tour guide! This reminded me a bit of my visit to Viminacium in Serbia, a giant Roman city of which only 3-4% has been unearthed. What's quite sad is that the archeological park gets very few visitors and funding from the government so I'm not sure if it will ever all be uncovered...it doesn't help that's difficult to reach without bus or car but I'd definitely recommend it for anyone that is visiting Belgrade!! Knowing that millions visit the ruins in Rome while there are so many Roman remains outside of Italy that get very little attention is quite sad, I hope more people will go out of their way to explore the less conventional ones :) Excited for what's next in Tunisia!

One of the best historical places in the world

Nice to see someone else whose brain can’t quite get the correct language out at times - thank you for including that part! Thank you also for a wonderful introduction to Tunisia!

So refreshing to relive so many places I visited so many times. Lovely format! I'd have rather like to see a real market instead of genocide-supporting Carrefour. Greets to Tunisia and free Palestine! 🍉

There is DNA evidence that the remnants of the Carthaginians sailed to South America, specifically Peru. There are villages in Peru with no history of European contact that have blonds and redheads.

You know it's wild, I work at the dock from which you came, I took care of the cars there, I go to every place you show here while jogging, it's such a interesting way to re-explore my own world

Great choice of location and amazing video, as always. On the terrible issue of alleged infanticide in Carthage, it is believed to have been Roman propaganda to justify their harsh treatment of the Carthagenians.

@@audioupgrades No, that’s simply not true. We have Roman sources, we have many Greek sources, we even have Phoenician or Lebanese sources. We have archaeological evidence all over the Mediterranean. We have lots of archaeological evidence. Moreover, the idea that only a very few children would be buried in a special cemetery for no reason at all makes no sense. If the kids had been cremated because of an epidemic, there would have been many times as many skeletons in the cemetery as war found. The son of the chief rabbi of Rome wrote a book explaining how occasional child sacrifice likely persisted as an occasional tradition in the Carthaginian diaspora of the Roman Empire for hundreds of centuries after the fall of Carthage.

It was very enjoyable to watch

You should definitely visit the Baltic country’s! I’m courantly on a trip around the Baltic Sea (only by ship and train). I would recommend going with the night train to Warshaw and than hopping trains trough the Baltic (from Riga there is a overnight ferry to Germany). It’s such a beautiful region and there is so few touristic places even in the main city although they are SO beautiful!

My heart aches when the tour guide narrates the story written by the enemy of Carthage and the Ministry of Culture does not correct the history of Carthage, which is full of forgery, even though research and radiocarbon dating have confirmed that these theaters, monuments, and baths are older than Rome and that they were built by the Carthaginians. Unfortunately, no one corrects this forgery and distortion. Even the Carthaginian construction method is different from what is found in Rome. Anyone who has visited the two countries knows the difference because the Carthaginians were the most skilled in construction, architecture, decoration, and sculpture, and to this day they are still the same in Tunisia.

Welcome in my country 😊

19:35 - The reason the security informed you that you are not allowed to take videos there is because Tunisians are boycotting Carrefour and other brands and stores due to their funding of the genocide , but in general you can use your camera anywhere in tunisia

Carthage was founded at least in 1700 BC because the age of the Carthaginian monuments dates back to that time and Herodotus mentioned that Carthage was founded in 1300 BC and as for the Carthaginians, genetic analyses confirmed that their origins are from Tunisia. As for the rest, they are just myths of the Romans and Greeks.

Yeah carrefour didn't allow you to film bc they thought you were protesting with the rest of us in Tunisia lol. I think most comments covered what I wanted to say. I just want people to keep in mind that civilizations kept moving those stone evry time a new conqueror set foot in the region (and we ve had way too many conquerors lol). So for instance the water utilities were Carthaginian inventions - I say invention bc I think Carthaginians gave a great deal of theil attention to waterflows, and it is said they invented plumbery too- but then they were reused by the next rulers. Same for the mosques and medina walls, they used stones from these ruins. I hope your visit will take you to native architecture, the Amazigh have been around all of these cultures and still maintained their own.
