Who were the Phoenicians? A Quick Look at Phoenician History

In this program, we'll take a look at the coastal Canaanite people whom the Greeks called the Phoenician. Though the Phoenicians left behind many inscriptions, few of them give any details with regard to their long and illustrious history. For that, we often have to consult Assyrian, Biblical, Egyptian and Greek sources. This video will reconstruct the their history and introduce you to the famous Phoenician cities of Byblos, Sidon, Tyre, Beirut and Akko (Acre). In other episodes, we'll take a look at other aspects of Phoenician life, culture and literature.

    Hi everyone, a couple of you asked how Tiglath-Pileser I could have hunted a narwhal, which is not native to the eastern Mediterranean. To be honest, I also didn’t know the answer and why some of the books I have identify the nahirus (the word used in Tiglath-Pileser’s inscription) as a narwhal. I thought I’d look into this and it turns out that in the Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, the word nahirus has been translated as “narwhal”. This obviously doesn’t confirm that the animal in question actually was a narwhal, and my guess is that the authors of the Assyrian Dictionary (who are not marine biologists) didn’t have a better word to describe this mysterious creature whose true identity is still unknown. Thanks to all of you who keep me sharp by asking such questions!

    A hippo in the sea? Maybe the Assyrian king got confused and ended up in the Nile. The idea that the "sea horse" was a narwhal seems unlikely to me. Firstly, an animal with legs is unlikely to invoke the memory of horses. Secondly, narwhals are found in circumpolar waters, not the eastern Mediterranean. Finally, the quoted passage doesn't really imply the "sea-horse" was slain from a boat. The Assyrian king could have killed it on land. If the Romans could bring hippos from Egypt to Rome for gladiatorial combats in the Flavian Amphitheatre, then the Phoenicians could bring a hippo to the Canaanite Levant.

    This video was great. I appreciate your particular attention on Phoenician art, since it's not realy studied that much. Wich is a shame. Yes, they took influence from all the surrounding cultures, from Grece to Egypt, but they still had an admirable skill with the use of bronze and ivory. They were also the masters of glass, making thousands of intricate glass beeds for their jewerly. Oh. About that Baal king. His name did not necessarely took influence from their gods. Baal was a generic term that meant MASTER. Wich is a rather fitting, but redundant, name for a king. 🤷 There is only one thing in the video that confuses me... The narwal... How did a narwal reach the mediterranean sea...? And how did the historians made the conclusion that the sea horse was, of all animals, a narwal...? Am I missing something here? 😕

    Hey, great to hear from you! Yes, Baal (sometimes written Ba'al) also has been translated as "lord" as in a feudal lord. About the narwhal, that's a really good question that others also had and so last night I was doing some research on why Pritchard and others call it a narwhal. I think I may have found the answer to that. In the The Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago the word nahirus which Tiglath-Pileser I uses has been translated as narwhal. It might not actually be one but that's how it's been translated, and so some books I now see are identifying it as such. Though no explanation is given for why that word was used, it is an older translation and perhaps it was once thought that maybe an extinct species of such an animal once existed in that part of the Mediterranean. I'm going to see if I can find a more recent translation of the word. Thanks again for stopping by, stay safe!

    @Star Star The phoenicians borrowed elements of their artstyle from Ggrece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. This was because the phoenicians built various colonies near already existing greek colonies in places such as southern Italy. This interest in greek art was very clear in Carthage. Wich abandoned almost completely their old middle eastern artstyle, in favor of a very ellenic one. This is clear from the various busts of Tanit, and the various sculptures offered to the temple of Baal Eshmun. The phoenicians shared stuff with the greeks indeed, especialy their alphabet and the use of the stars for navigation. But they took inspiration from the greeks in the art department. 🤷

I know the Sumerians were the first but besides that, the whole line of them between Minoan Crete and the Indus Valley are confusing mostly because I wanna know what they were in relation to the others. I just need periods and snapshots of the world around them to remember and I want to judge them like everyone else. I just mean the general region, not all over the world like this fraction would be Crete to North India.

    I loved this video as it is very well documented yet allow me to add some details based on archaeology and historiography: The hypothesis that the sea people intermingled with the locals has been revoked by genetic analysis. there is no trace of any of the sea people markers in the remains of the Phoenician cities , and the colonies where the sea people established themselves did not survive for long (Akko for example was in the hands of the Tjeker by the time of Wenamon and 200 years later it becomes a Tyrian outpost) . And there is a clear evidence that there was a certain hegemony if not an attempt at a united kingdom by the the duo Tyre-Sidon : we see it clearly in the policies of Ithobaal both in colonization of the coastline and in the political marriages, and you see it clearly in the text of the "annals of Sennacherib", as in the fact that almost all colonies in the Mediterranean were the work of Tyre-Sidon. you may see references in this subject in the works of Maria Eugenia Aubet "The Phoenicians and the west" as well as in the works of Maroun Khreish .

    Very informative: thanks. Phoenicians were great sailors and traders. They would lay out their goods on the docks or beach near a city and then send up a smoke signal. They would then retreat to the ship. The locals would inspect the trade goods and leave a payment in gold or silver and then withdraw. The Phoenicians would come out and either take the payment or, if they felt it was inadequate leave it And return to the ship for an other round of negotiation. The first phonetic alphabet, actually an abjad, (no vowels) is attributed to the Phoenicians who spread it to the clever Greeks who added vowels. (800 bce) These first phonetic symbols were extracted from Egyptian hieroglyphs.

    I wonder what the connection between Pre-Phoenicians before the Bronze Age Collapse and Ugarit, a bit north of the Phoenician area was. After all, Ugarit had a form of a north-semitic alphabet rendered in Cuneiform, while the Phoenicians had their own north-semitic alphabet.

    The word "Phoenix" (Φοινιξ) is a Greek word which root is the word Φοινος - Phoenos = Dark red as a result of the fire that Phoenix bird uses to renew its self . For the rest about the origins of the Phoenecians etc i will not comment because is clearly subjective too the date one chooses to interprete the facts of history . One true fact is that the history of the general Eastern Med area is not so young as the bronze age !! :)

    The whole Phoenicians trade thing was NOT about wood and etc...mainly. They did sell off lots of cedars, but ended up trading mostly amazing commodities. It was was about "color" "oils" "wines" Healer plants", "cloth" "Yummy dried food" and countless other commodities that were amazing back then. Lebanon Canaan Cities were traders and they linked the world for tens of centuries.

  • @HistorywithCy

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi, thanks for stopping by. So they don't mean the small marine animal that we today call a seahorse. The Phoenicians called the creature nahiru, but in Akkadian there is word to describe such an animal. Remember, the Assyrians before Tiglath-Pileser I were completely landlocked in what's today northern Iraq and had never in centuries never ventured to any sea, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf or other, so they had no idea what type of animal this was or how to describe it properly. At the same time, it is described as having a tusk or wiith ivory, which in Akkadian is a different word than tooth. Given it's description, the animal in question is believed to have been some sort of extinct marine mammal like a narwhal or perhaps some extinct species of narwhal itself. We know that a few marine mammals that were present in Roman times that are now extinct, so it's believed that this particular creature could have been one of them. Anyway, that's the only explanation I've read. Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it...stay safe!

    Let me amend one of my statements. In double checking for accuracy, I did find a fossil taxon of the Family Monodontidae which was recovered from the Mediterranean basin. However, it is of Early Pliocene age (roughly 5 million years before present), and it was assigned to the Subfamily Delphinapterinae (Beluga whales). Further, the fossilized skull was recovered, and had no trace of any 'toothy' protuberances.

    @@HistorywithCy Casatia thermophila is the genus and species. It was described in the August 2019 edition of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Interestingly, the paper contends that the Family Monodontidae, which presently only includes the Beluga Whale and Narwhal which inhabit Arctic or Boreal environments, may have originated in warmer habitats. There is another extinct Monodontid, Bohaskaia monodontoides, which inhabited the Pliocene waters of Virginia and North Carolina. It was named after a fellow I worked with at the Smithsonian. No protruding canine 'tusk' on that one either though.
