@fionagibson7529 Рік тому
The only option is the auto-generated kind. Those are prone to making mistakes, but the real problem is how they’re presented. With normal subtitles words appear in groups, so usually about 7(ish) words are visible. This lets people read ahead, making them aware of what to listen for, and it’s less jarring to read a phrase at a time. Auto-generated gives a word at a time. As it’s spoken. It’s disjointed and makes it hard to focus on the video.

A great history lesson, I noticed that the Phoenician alphabet you showed has many charactors similar to the British Coelbren alphabet which according to some originated with those British settlers that were called 'strangers=Welsh' and arrived circa 1500 - 1800BC, but who may have had people in these lands even earlier. Laurance Gardner seems to have identified the geneology of those from ancient Egypt to Britain through mariage and likely a certain amount of entourage/settlers to accompany them. See his Grail Kings books and youtube lectures.

@alfredosauce1 3 роки тому
@@Veriox22 it's a complex question as most Lebanese these days identify as Arabs and believe some family oral traditions claiming a Yemeni origin origin. However modern DNA testing has basically debunked all those stories and has shown that most of our genepool is indigenous, directly descended from the older Semitic peoples (Phoenicians/Canaanites, Israelites, Arameans etc) that lived in the region.

@@alfredosauce1 I am glad to hear that. I find it really interesting how, despite all these centuries, the phoenicians have kept their genes and despite their religion, they are able to identify as phoenicians. Glad to see they are not extinct like the sumerians, babylonians, etc.
@CaptiveReefSystems 3 роки тому
Forgive me if this is too personal a question, but... as you mention Christmas (& some accurate insights regarding the ancestry of the region), I am curious if you are currently living in Lebanon and practicing Christmas in a religious context (as a Christian), or just in the sort of "generic" and "commercial" sense that has become dominant here in the US? Happy holidays, everyone! ♥️

@@alfredosauce1 way I see it, most Lebanese are Arabs in that they're culturally Arabs. The Arab world contains hundreds of millions of people, the vast majority of those people aren't directly descended from Bedouins, they can't be as the Bedouins dwarfed in numbers compared to their neighbours. I believe allot of cultural integration went off to form the modern Arab world, it's not a single homogeneous nation but a cultural one.

It’s somewhat interesting to have such smart ancestors. I come from Lebanon and I visited Sidon, Tyre and Byblos multiples times. Crazy that all these amazing things happened just where I live. I’m so thankful that you created this documentary as it did indeed surprise me that Phoenicians went all the way to Britain. This small part isn’t mentioned in our history books btw 😅 It’s just so sad that there isn’t much written about their culture and the interesting part is that they didn’t call themselves Phoenicians but the Greeks called them that way. You made me also interested to go and visit Carthage!!
@PhatymaFakih 2 роки тому
it is really interesting! I'm from Lebanon too and I feel so attached to my history and I would like to know who really were our distant ancestors! It is likely that much of the Phoenician population migrated to Carthage and other colonies following some conquests, but that doesn't really mean that all Phoenicians migrated from their land, e.g. Lebanon! Also DNA testing has linked this ancient culture directly with the people still living around Tyre, in Lebanon. super interesting!

the modern Lebanese person has nothing to do with the phoenicians, for they have all been slaughtered and sold into slavery by the babylonians, hellenics and by the hundreds of foreign empires that invaded and settled this land. The last phoenicians standing were in carthage and its colonies before they too were slaughtered and sold into slavery by the romans. So you are a hot soup of greek, arabic, turkic and canaanite ancestry, not phoenician

I've always had the feeling that Greek and Phoenician culture influenced each other a lot, because the writing systems are similar, both tended to be maritime powers with city-states early on, and in general some of their art reminds me of Greek art as well. I wonder it might be more than Phoenician and Greek culture blended together after the Phoenicians were absorbed into Alexander the Great's empire, much like Roman and Greek culture blended together later on? We know for sure that Greek culture didn't exactly disappear when the Romans conquered Greece, so it's conceivable that our idea of what Greek culture is also includes elements of Phoenician culture. Even in those early days, those cultures around the Mediterranean interacted and shared quite a bit.

The Greeks took the alphabet from the Phoenecians, who invented it and spread it via their trade. The Mycenaeans didn't have an alphabet--their script is now known as Linear B and it's a syllabary not an alphabet. City-states were also the norm back then--Carthage, Rome, and Babylon were all city-states that conquered and subjugated whole empires and so we stopped thinking of them as city-states. So those two similarities are pretty easily explainable. But yeah cultures definitely mix, and there's no one definition for "Greek" culture. If you asked Plato whether Alexander (a Macedonian) was Greek (Έλληνας), he would have likely said no. But we also know that Alexander brought Greek culture when he conquered the area, because 150 years later the Maccabees struggled against Hellenized Jews during their revolt. So there were almost certainly "Hellenized Phoenicians" to the north as well. Although, it's worth noting that Tyre (mother city of Carthage) was about half-annihilated by Alexander after he took the city, so native culture obviously took a hit as well. Kings & Generals just did an awesome video on that battle you might be interested in: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cWiaonp4hYGlpqc.html

Another great episode , love the footage of dartmoor n cornwall in the intro. Ive downloaded loads of your work as i think its a great channell ; the graphics, maps, footage and such all wrap well around any topic you approach, but what i like is the pace the music, and that its not done by some huge corporate media channel, its all handled by our british friend doing the narration, n he's on minimum wage ! you really care about what you do , and its appropriate enough for kids to, who seem to respond better to your pace, than all the flashy stuff that plagues youtube.

There just isn't a whole lot of literature on them. Most docs on the Phoenicians seem to just circle the question of child sacrifice because there is alot of archeological evidence to dive into on that front. Totally sucks tho. Seeing that photo in this vid of those ruined shipyards made my head spin. We will never really know who these dudes were unless there is some hidden cache of miraculously preserved papyrus somewhere.

Thank you for the lecture! As mentioned at 6:24 and seen also on the map shown the PHOenicians lived along the coasts. It has to be that they were most likely the gods of the waters, instead/besides the gods of the letters. Most of the words that are related to the ancient ethymons: PO, PHO, PA, PHA are in connection with the waters. Example: PO-table, dis-PO-mania, hi-PO-PO-tamus, PO-t, PO-ol, PO-nd, PO-rt, PO-ur, eva-PO-rate, PO-lar (all 3 states), PO-seidon, Meso-PO-tamia, PA-cific ocean, PO-culum (latin pot/cup/glass), PO-tomac river, river PO (the longest in Italy), PO-ros (old name of the Black Sea), a-PO-teka (latin PHArmacy), PO-wer, PO-verty, PHA-RA-O (cycle "O" of water that is moved by the heat of the Sun/RA/RAdius), PA-gan (PO-gan as used in many C. European countries; they had the knowledge of the power of waters this is why they got ridiculed; same thing happend with the BAR-bars, who had the knowledge of the atmosferic powers, later on were named barons), mono-PO-lium, PO-tential, plenty-PO-tential, omni-PO-tential, PO-pe, PO-st (watr fasting), a-PO-stole, PO-ntius Pil(r)ates, macro-PO-lis, PO-pul-ation, a-PO-calypse (I am not a native english speaker but i am almost sure that the word "lypse" once was related to shortage, deficiency; just like in the eclypse). In the Revelations John is giving us a hint where to look for the answer: fiery, sharp sWORD coming out of the mouth. We should of pay much more attention what we are creating/destroying by logos!
@istvanmargittoth4268 2 роки тому
and I forgot to mention one of the key words: PU-mp, which in many languages is PO-mp or PO-mpa, from where derived the word PO-mpous/extravagant/overblown, just like the Crystal PA-lace. For example the firefighter in Romanian is PO-mpier (PUmping the water) + POseidon' s tri-dent has to refer to the 3 states of the water/PO (PO--ur, eva-PO-rate, PO-lar) + A-PO-llo / Á-PO-ló (who was the deity of healing, light, music, revelations, poetry, archery) in Hungarian means literally healer/nurse, where music has to refer to healing with ORGONE sound/freqvency and the light to the light healing as seen for example in St. Joseph church in Lancaster, the ARCH and bow has to refer to VAULT/ARCHitecture and also to ARCHives (baptizmal letters, sheet music collections), revelation/Bible, POetry/psalms and verse (vers/HU=PO-em and also ív/HU=ARCH, thus: ARCH-ive= ARCH-ARCH or ív-ív). Those gods at Babel sure confused the languages, and as such also our perception.

One amazing thing about the Phoenician abjad is that, with the exception of some far-eastern and african writing systems as well as the Inuit syllabary, all modern-day writing systems are either descended from it or, as in the case of the Ge'ez abugida of Ethiopia and Eritrea, somewhat related to it.

They weren't talking about theories, which lack evidence to stand up to question. While it is speculated, for instance, about the inuit, we cannot actually prove that they even met, and even had they, it would have been the people who predates the inuit people(btw) not the inuit people themselves. If your going to reference theories please read up on them. Even a google search shows that info in first result. (I checked)
@AuroraLalune 3 роки тому
It is more likely the fact our brains recognize patterns created a similar one, or that the neanderthals and other such pre humans that make up our genetics, had a language and perhaps writing at some point and both could have had shared ideas of such that passed down even without contact. One theory is just as outlandish as the other. We need evidence. Not wishful thinking and theories. Evidence. Carbon dated hold it in your hands evidence. The things I said are just as outlandish as the theory you talked about and just as unproven. Possible. Especially given we have proven they at least did have the understanding to do cave drawings etc, and there is theories about more but again... It could be a remnant. Like how hobits and dwarves and all the things imagined in popular fiction reflect quite stunningly people that not only pre dated humans as we exist, but are what eventually resulted in us via mixing with one another. An argument for cell memory could be made. There is more evidence we are related to trees(they actually found where we share dna with trees) than there is that the inuits and Phoenicians ever even met. Just because someone wants it to be true doesn't make it so. It's actually very interesting. Remember. A theory means something is unproven. It doesn't mean it true just because you like it or it's popular for being what a lot of people want to hear. Facts don't care about our feelings. They simply exist. This said. History and anthropology gets very interesting. Actually kiddo often watches stuff that gets into evolution and science otherwise with me and I've my own theory based on what we know- like what of no idea is a new idea? What if it's all in our dna?

There were various sorts of changing interactions and exchanges between Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks and others. The influence of Phoenician culture did not end quickly or suddenly. The father of Pythagoras, Mnesarchus, was a merchant from the city of Tyre. Thales was of Phoenician descent and a descendant of Cadmos. The founder of Stoicism, Zeno of Kitium, was of Phoenician origin. These can be viewed as literary and cultural examples of ancient thinkers directly related to Phoenician cultural influence, but who were called Greek in the 20th century due mainly to cultural habits related to Euro-centrism. Several ancient scholars were very likely in the cultural sphere of influence of the city of Carthage. The city of Berytus (Beirut) had an important law school that lasted until the 6th century.

However , I did acquire the top of an urn , with one complete handle , and an opening of about 90 mm . While now living in the south east coast of South Africa , there was a find a few years ago that hinted about ancient travelers passing the coast , or coming to grief !

I did a presentation on the Phoenicians for my Masonic lodge a couple of years ago. Their cultural motto was 'make money, not war', which for the Bronze Age Near East was a remarkable thing. Imagine being in a coastal village in southern Gaul. You see a squad of ships sailing in your direction, and immediately prepare the defenses. Then they get closer and you realize, 'oh thank Toutatis, it's Phoenicians.' They're not going to sack your town and kidnap your families, they're just going to sell you dyed cloth, fine glassware and other luxury goods.
