⁠@@Ahmad-oh6icthis you actually got wrong. Cananites are a subgroup of the Phoenicians. Phonecians were a vast spans of people, and many lived in both Judea and Jerusalem and later many became Jewish. DNA sampling suggest that ancient Phoenicians lived on to what is today people living in Israel and Lebanon. The Palestinians of today are not so much unified group of people. Many came to the region in the 1800s from both Jordan and Lebanon, as part of Arab immigrants. Some Arab tribes lived in the region longer and an often be defined as we today call Palestinians, even though they at this time did not have a unified name for the people in the region. This is important as the idea of one group having a claim over another doesn’t really match on in either of the Jewish or Arabic cases. But have ties there, both population were exchanged over time and expelled at different ages. The original people are long dead, and only ancestors who are a mix of so many cultures and ethnics since then, are alive today. If an argument of the area belonging to solely belonging to Arabs, then similiar claims must be true for the European crusaders and their offspring that for a long time lived in the region. Same as the Christian population who often is called “Christian Arabs” or “Christian Palestinians”. Remember, these Christian have longer ties to the region as they never left, and DNA studies reveal a much different profile than Muslim Arab counterparts, indicating a separation much earlier. In other words, this conflict is not Arabs vs Jews, it is not natives versus invaders.

Jerusalem was a Canaanite city before being invaded by David. Phoenicians were also Canaanites. They invented the alphabet. Must compliment the author on a brilliant non-political balanced presentation, his excellent graphics and on his last positive humanitarian comment.

@zilonguser you forget the Bible is a religious text, not a history. Bless your heart 🙏🏽

Loved it. Wish there were more people who would in light others on this topic

Great video that answers so many questions. Biblically, Canaanites were descendants of Canaan who was the lastborn son to Ham, who was also lasborn son to Noah. Canaan's most notable brother is Nimrod known to be a skilled and mighty hunter, other off-biblical sources names Nimrod as the one who spearheaded the building of the Babel tower and later founded the ancient Babylon city. It is also worth noting that Ham, the father to Canaan was also nicknamed Canaan.

Canaan was the son of Shem, NOT Ham. I have no idea how you people keep getting this wrong

Very good summary of a region that is always in the news. 👌 Thank you.

"Peleset who are members of a band of baffling, bad time, boat-bound brigands..." good alliteration, here have a like!

Thank you for the great description

First time viewer. I really enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Nora, I am very happy you find new interesting things each time :)

amazing video, artstyle and easy to understand, keep it up!

Very informative! Thank you for this interesting history of Canaan!

Great video and historical/anthropological lesson!

Very thorough and great representation of how long and to what extent Egypt ruled the area (which is often greatly underappreciated). My only critique is that you stopped a few centuries too soon. A brief discussion of what happened to the folks in the region...even if just to provide summaries of various theories, would have made this stronger. Right now, it ends as if everyone disappeared at once.

Hey @Epimetheus! Have you ever considered doing a video on Old Europe and the Cucuteni-Trypillia? Many would consider them to have built the first cities hundreds of years before the Sumerians

The Sea People: "A band of baffling bad time boat-bound brigands" I'm dying! But seriously, thanks for another well produced informative video.

I would like to appreciate how in this video each section of geographic location and factors are described in a very simple and easy way. Absolutely amazing job done.. I am a student as well as a teacher of history.. And I always try to learn from these kind of videos and learning tools to, how we can describe history and geography. ♥ Thank you.. Much appreciation from my side.

Thank you for covering the history of the ancient middle east in such detail.

I'm starting to get the idea that you really like the Bronze Age Middle East

I mean, how many people on KZread even talk about the Bronze Age? One of the biggest reasons I'm subscribed to this channel is because it is a lot of quality content about the Bronze Age

This explanation is the first I hear which concludes literally everything in one small episode regardless of religion, language and holiness I needed ten days just to go over every single piece of information you had produced here. you are a genius. Thank you

Explaining with the topography/terrain really illustrates the significance of it.

Love the focus on the terrain and strategics of the region

I love Epimetheus's art style

Great story. So the fighting started many many years ago... Conquer and control was probably their motto at that time. Thanks for this information.

Your channel is a blessing

I like this geographical/topographical kind of episode. Would love to see one on Anatolia and Transoxiana.
