My favorite bit about that aspect is that, as I'm aware, "Carthage" (aka Carthago according to the Romans) meant something close to "New City" in ancient Phoenician, but in Punic and later latin, their largest Iberian colony was Nova Carthago, which would mean that the name of the city was "The New New City." It's not all that crazy a naming convention either. A lot of cities are named "the new city" in their respective languages. Novgorod in Russia, for example.

Yeah if a country has such an extreme ass timeline confusing shit like this happens. P.S. The main cultures of byzantium were Greek, Pontic and Latin, but the Latin culture is a fuckfest so now the Hispanic, Italian and Greek cultures have Latin in them, and Latin has Italian and Greek culture in it.

Old Man Khaki Greeks are not Greeks by Greek people. They are Hellenes. Greek is a Latin term for a group of Byzantines called the Graecans. I don't know why the whole nation has been given this name. My grandfather who is about 90 calls himself Roman. We are from Cyprus. If you go to Istanbul you will see Greek writing saying Vasilia Romeon which means Roman Kingdom. Julius Ceaser's last words were spoken in Greek according to alot of sources. He said "You too my son?" To Brutus. I think if you were able to go back in time you'd find that people did not label themselves with the modern day terms we use today.

Lebanese talking here: I believe that the region I came from changed hands so many imes that it is impossible for us to identify ourselves to any specific culture or people. However, I proudly call myself a phoencian. Because i consider them as the closest to what modern lebanon is now and in addition they are a very high achieving civilization. In addition to that, I think that labeling ourselves as phoenicians is much more rewarding on a political, social, and therefore economical scale than labeling ourselves as arabs.

Hi, thank you for this video highlighting some aspect of our history. Am Tunisian and i take great pride in my Carthaginian heritage, but also in all other cultures that crossed our lands.Tunisia has been always a much coveted land for it's strategic location, hospitable climate and ample riches(in agriculture mainly). So this invited many colonists and conquerors throughout history, taking this into account let me humbly clarify something:1/ Tunisians identify themselves culturally as Arabs but anthropologically that's far from the truth. 2/ Arabs contribute a low percentage to the overall gene pool of the country as shown in recent studies with north African , Iberian and European(heritage of Romans,Vandals and others)genes taking the majority of percentage. I invite you to dive deeper into the North African history to see more of that diversity in us and our neighbors, thank you so much for this work i look forward to you future endeavors.

There were many Punic cities in North Africa and Spain which continued their lives as normal after the destruction of Carthage. Later, many Phoenicians moved to other places which were prospering, like leptis Magna, birthplace of Septimius Severus who was part Punic.

Your videos are really well researched and informative, nice channel Masaman!

Manuel Rivera yes DNA does determine who the descendants of ancients are.

The Greeks are fuming about the results and those discoveries. So if anyone doesn’t agree with the swiss research about the DNA of the Macedonians and thinks the Macedonians are Greek.... which goes against all historical knowledge, maps and DNA... Then the Lebanese can’t claim to be descendants of the Phoenicians... according to Greek logic.

Amazing! Another excellent video. Thank you.

I almost agree with this entire video of yours for once. Excellent.

"And despite having some victories under the infamously zany general Hannibal of Carthage." I'm sorry, but this was hands down the most painful line I've ever heard in a youtube history video. That "infamously zany general" you're referring to was arguably the greatest general and strategist of all time. Hannibal the great's entire nearly 20 year campaign against the Romans was defined by constantly defying almost impossible odds, marching a hundred thousand soldiers(not to mention thousands of noncombatants)on foot over a thousand kilometers, through hostile gaulish territory, while being pursued by a roman army, over what was thought to be an impassible natural obstacle, into the heart of the roman republic, where despite being vastly outnumbered, out equipped, out supplied he brought the greatest power in the Mediterranean world to it's knees. Those victories you downplayed were Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae. If you Google "greatest ambush battles of all time" the first three results are Trasimene and Cannae and Trebia in that order. In the course of those victories, which took place over less than two years, Hannibal's multiethnic multilingual army, which he pulled together from all over the western Mediterranean killed over 120.000 Romans, a staggering number by the standards of the time. His victory at Cannae in particular, in which he managed to surround 85.000 Romans with an army half that size, and slaughter 70.000 of them is still studied at military academies around the world over 2000 years later. If you're going to make a video about the Pheonicians, have some respect for the greatest Pheonician who ever lived.

Maltese language can decipher all of the Phoenician alphabet, for example alef means feeding the animals hence the letter A was originally depicted as a bull. Some scholars think it means an Ox since there is a word similar to it in Syriac. Also Delta comes from Telta which in Maltese means one-third and Rhobus derives from the word Robu which means one-fourth. I don't know why other fractions were not included like Tomna (1/8) etc.

For nearly all letters, the first entry was a Phoenician character. But I do have a question: At one point you claim that "Phoenician DNA" can be found in certain peoples in certain places. How do we know what Phoenician DNA looks like? Have we really taken DNA samples from corpses found in ancient Phoenician cities? Anything else would be pure speculation IMHO.

It could have been nice to see on the video how Phoenician legacy made its way to America (you know, our continent) and, although unrelated to Phoenicians, it constitutes a living legacy: Phoenicians founded Carthage and when this colony grew in importance an power, they founded a new city in Spain as Qart Hadasht (Phoenician, meaning 'New Town') the same name as the original city of Carthage until the Romans took over Spain re naming it as Carthago Nova. This name would remain and would evolve into the current Cartagena and when the time for Spain came to sail the oceans (just like the Phoenicians) and connect the entire globe for the first time in history making almost every region aware of the existence of each other, they took the Phoenician legacy with them naming different cities they founded along the way as Cartagena both in America and Asia being Cartagena de Indias (which was meant to be understood as the American Carthago Nova) in Colombia, the most famous one outside Spain.

Answering your question. I guess a huge part of someone's ethnicity is tied to how he/she/they choose to identify themselves...and this is valid for every group of people in the world, some Egyptians would consider themselves Arabs, other would prefer nothing different than just Egyptians...some Basques would rather cut an arm off before calling themselves Spanish, others are more than fine to recognize the nationality in which their beloved ethnicity manifest itself...some people choose for that reason to use a composed word to display both the aspects (e.g. Iraqi-Kurd, Swiss-Italian, Russian-Jew, Spanish-Roma, etc...). In the end of the day, ethnicity is as much of a self reported concept as it is a anthropological one... Thank you for your wonderful work! 🙏🏻

Like the most Moroccans, Algerians, Tunisians, Libyans, Egyptians, Syrians and Iraqis, Lebanese are also not originally Arab, but the descendants of the ancient Phoenicians, Jews, Greeks and Romans.

There were only a small number of leftover Hurrian and Hittites whom soon after the second wave of Aryan migration into the region assimilated with the ancient Medes. Claiming Kurds for being Hurrian and Hittites descendants is like saying Persians are also Elimite descendants, which is not historically correct.

You forgot to mention that we get the word phonetic from the phoenicians. Their alphabet is believed to be the first use of symbols to represent actual sounds; instead of pictographs like hieroglyphs or Chinese characters, which represent ideas, and have no set pronunciation between languages. For example: China and Japan both use the same character system; but, apply their own spoken languages to the symbols. Useful for a multi-language empire; but, cumbersome and much more reliant on memorization than a phonetic system.
