Truly a brilliant video! The Phoenicians are making a comeback! I have to admit that most Northern Europeans know very little about this remarkable civilization that revolutionized our humanity by giving us their Alphabet and Europa who was a Phoenician princess from the very ancient city of Tyre ( in today’s Lebanon) . I learned about the Phoenicians when I went to study Spanish in Spain, that’s where I found out that they have founded half of the Spanish and European Mediterranean cities in Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, not to mention Malta, Cyprus and Turkey. Phoenicia spanned all of Lebanon, some town towns in Syria and Palestine. They were the world most brilliant navigators, traders, craftsmen and inventors. What surprised me was to find out that Pythagora’s parents were Phoenicians and same for Thales, the father of philosophy! Western institutional colonialism and imperialism is a corporate chicanery ( fourberie, ruse) The solution can be reached by getting organized and putting Public Pressure Of course they ll get hostile attacks

When I moved to my current apartment about a year ago I noticed a bunch of curious graffiti around the neighborhood. It reminded me of some stages in the evolution of the alphabet that we covered in a typography course and I ended up figuring out they were Phoenician characters. It was a fun puzzle figuring out what they were and translating them (Though actual texts were just transliterated Hebrew). Somewhere around here there must be a language nerd who's quite pleased with themselves.

Phoenician Alphabet descends from proto-sinatic script that was found in Lower Egypt and that script probably descends from Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

GOOD MORNING! Thank you for today's show! You seem a little nervous yet. lol, which is normal. Relax and let the words come out a little slower? Otherwise, great job! Are you going to be covering topics on human evolution, ie, neanderthals and such? Or are you staying with human cultures? Keep up the great work!

Wouldn't the dearth of archeological evidence about the Phoenicians call into question the originality of their innovations & inventions? What if much of their culture was derived from people who might have sought refuge in their land? Was the breath of their craftsmanship too much for a relatively 'decentralized' society,and comparatively speaking how large was their society? These are open-ended questions.

Phoenicians still exist , they are the Christians of Lebanon .. they first converted to Christianity in the Byzantine era (the Rûm Orthodox and Rûm Catholics today , helenized liturgy ) , a large portion of phoenicians kept worshipping Baal,Adonis.etc. untill the 4th century when the Monks of Saint Maroun came from Syria and converted them to christianity ( Known today as Maronites , their contributions to the Crusades earned them communion with the Vatican ,Maronites still use the phoenicians dialect of Aramaic in the liturgy ) [Aramaic was made the langua franka of the Levant in the 3rd century BC , it replaced Hebrew , phoenician and Assyrian ]

Oh my, let's see here . . . Alexander did not "go straight for Tyre", as part of The Persian Empire (the true aim of Alexander's war of conquest) it was, quite naturally, a target. Too, Tyre was one of the few harbors available to Alexander capable of keeping his army supplied. The Hellenes hated Alexander his forebearers and successors, they never considered the Macedonians as "Greek". The emergence of the Greek alphabet (alpha beta) is more complex than simply saying that somebody(s) on the mainland just took the Phoenician alphabet, rearranged it, and PRESTO!! The development of the vowel is another story entirely. Finally, if you want to lecture, or be seen as a historian, or history friendly commenter, clean up your language - "shit" and 'stuff" whilst no doubt cute to your school chums have no place in what I assume is a serious presentation. Same for the giggling. Cheers!

Jesus Professor, go polish your monocle! The idea that you can't take someone seriously because they swear or laugh is a YOU problem. I don't think she claimed "presto!" and the Greek alphabet appeared. This is a 14 min video, giving a brief over view of the subject, it's not an indepth university course. Though it is intriguing and inspired me to look deeper into the subject. Finally, Your sanctimonious pearl clutching and condescension, whilst no doubt "cute" to your chums, has no place in the KZitem comment section. 😉

Hey, you seem like a halfway cool and reasonable person. I liked the couple of episodes that I watched from you. Can you please answer a question for me? Why in the living fuck has no one gone back and plugged all of the ooparts that are millions of years old, and where they were found into a graph, along with all of the human ancestors and were they were found, when they are creating their inferred paths, that early humans supposedly took? Until then, none of the paths are going to be even close to accurate, and its frustrating to me that I even have to say this. They found a 400 million year old hammer, and just ignore it. They found a man under a rock that was dated to 300 million years old, and pretend it doesn't exist, even though it was studied and is in an actual academic paper. There's a huge list of artifacts like that, and the saddest thing is there shouldn't even be a list of you want to call it science, right? You seem cool. Im not mad at you. Please for the love of God, or Darwin, or whatever you believe, fix this.

I agree there isn't one map or history of the human race that covers all our current knowledge, and we have to piece it together ourselves with facts and items gleaned here and there.
