Wow what are the odds I have been obsessed with carthage recently and not only that I’ve been trying to look for a naval video specifically in this channel and here we are lol

18:23 It's really fantastic to be able to understand the Punic language, even barely. I speak Modern Hebrew and "Adirim" is now plural for "Adir", "Great One" or just "Great" or "Awesome" if used as a adjective. "Rab" or "Rav" in Hebrew is still used to indicate seniority, as in "Rav Aluf" - Senior General, the hightest rank in the IDF. "Mehanet" sounds alot like "Mahane", Camp or Base and Sheni means "Second", so that would probably be something like "Second Officer" translated. I am doing this without any sources, so if anyone actually knows better, do tell!

Wow! History that very few of us know about. Many thanks for all the research and labor that went into this presentation!

One of the best videos I've seen in my entire life. I LOVE Carthaginian history, and it is so interesting to think about how much different the world would be had the Punic Wars 1.) Not happened (unlikely, obviously) 2.) Turned out differently (possible) Or 3.) Culminated in the first war, forcing both empires to turn their attentions to other holdings in the long run, the Romans toward the East and North, and the Carthaginians toward the West and possibly even South. We know Carthaginian sailors sailed around West Africa, so it is possible that they would try to extend their imperial grip to West Africa!

@lausdeo4944

Жыл бұрын

Option #3 makes an interesting alternate history. Perhaps, Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean continue as Roman, whereas Western Africa forms an enlarged Carthaginian Empire. I could see contests for control of the British Isles, and possibly (on the side of the Carthaginians) exploration/colonization of the Western Hemisphere.

@ice8348

@@lausdeo4944 Absolutely. Exploring the Atlantic was extremely difficult even for Atlantic powers in our timeline until the invention of the Caravel, yet Carthage voyaged completely around West Africa hundreds of years before the death of Christ, let alone the end of the Western Roman Empire. In such a scenario, we might actually see much less of a bloodbath in the Americas (which in this timeline would likely be known as the Barcids, or something adjacent to that), as the wave of disease that weakened the Americas up for Spanish domination would have came without the capacity for intercontinental empire and, more importantly, cannons, to bombard coastal cities. The Natives would be able to repopulate, and would likely make fast friends with the Carthaginians, who were usually heavily interested in economic ties rather than war. This could butterfly out in any number of ways, but would likely lead to the development of urban centers on the coast of the Americas FAR earlier than in our timeline, and would bring about the sharing of scientific achievements between the continents, leading to a very different New World, one where it is scientifically and economically on pace with the Old World. Just imagine the art, culture and science that would come out of something like that.

I've never seen the topic of ancient navies discussed in this level of detail. Very well done. Thank you so much for this.

This video impressed me. I never before saw such a deep dive into the Carthagenian navy (or dive down to, for those ships that went down). This video broadened my horizon, thanks.

Please make more videos about ancient sea battles detailing the tactics. Amazing video as always!

Absolutely phenomenal documentary on a woefully underrated topic!!

Amazing video! Love the longer format, would be so cool if we got one on medieval southeast Asian navies since they are so underrepresented but so important to their history or Indian navies like the Chola.
