Hi Gabriel, fascinating history, no real mention of Hannibal, the greatest general of the era, he was a major problem for the Roman legions. Hannibal is known to have sparked the 2nd Punic war by traveling over the Alps and the Pyrenees mountains with 100,00 troops and forty elephants, an incredible military feat. Hannibal is mentioned of course in the movie Gladiator as a fierce warrior. The walkthrough the Carthage Colosseum reminds me of the scene in Gladiator and Spartacus the Thracian Gladiator trained by the Romans and later rebelled against them.

Flocks of birds fluttering by, fat chickens running clucking by being flustered, Merchants Merchanting, and the languages spoken, the smell of cooked fish, goat, and garam wafting through the air... It's a far cry from what I see and hear... A lot of clutter, and where is the dang docks! My bad you got the Docs in the end... Still the magic looks gone from that place, the spirit's certainly are😢

5:45 The Acropolium of Carthage Groundbreaking - CE1884 Completed - CE1890 The Acropolium, also known as Saint Louis Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Louis de Carthage), is a Roman Catholic church located in Carthage, Tunisia. The cathedral sits on the peak of Byrsa Hill, near the ruins of the ancient Punic and then Roman city. It was built atop the ruins of an old temple dedicated to Eshmun, the Punic god of healing. The edifice can still be accessed from the basement. Since 1993, the cathedral has been known as the "Acropolium". It is no longer used for worship, but instead hosts public events or concerts of Tunisian music and classical music. Currently, the only Roman Catholic cathedral operating in Tunisia is the Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul in Tunis. Hussein II Bey authorised the French consul-general to build a cathedral on the site of ancient Carthage, to determine where it would be situated, and to take all the land necessary for the project. His words were: We cede in perpetuity to His Majesty the King of France a location in the kingdom, sufficient to raise a religious monument in honour of King Louis IX at the place where this prince died. We commit ourselves to respect and to make respected this monument consecrated by the King of France to the memory of one of his most illustrious ancestors

Wikipedia: The Eighth Crusade was the second Crusade launched by Louis IX of France, this one against the Hafsid dynasty in Tunisia in 1270. Hence, perhaps, the Catholic church and Templar-style sarcophagus. Also, I noticed a peacock depicted in a mosaic. Peacocks are native to South Asia and India thus indicating the importance of Carthage as a trading centre.

People who built that town must have been crazy patient, like builders of the pyramids, chiseling all those huge blocks of stone, and building that town and the temples. How did they even manage to do it? Those blocks are quite big and heavy.

The ancient Carthage has a vast intensity of history. Before the Roman settlement, the Phoenicians had a conflict with other civilizations, the Assyrian, Babylon, Greek even the ethnic indigenous Berbers formed an alliance with Romans and defeated them.

I suppose you're aware of the background noise your video camera is making.

I don't think the camera is creating any background noise, you might be thinking of the sound of the cicadas in the background throughout much of the video.

19:31. Possibly a cemetery resulting from child sacrifice. "Children - both male and female, and mostly a few weeks old - were sacrificed by the Carthaginians at locations known as tophets. The practice was also carried out by their neighbours at other Phoenician colonies in Sicily, Sardinia and Malta. Dedications from the children's parents to the gods are inscribed on slabs of stone above their cremated remains, ending with the explanation that the god or gods concerned had 'heard my voice and blessed me'." - University of Oxford

أساطير رومانية لتشويه سمعة قرطاج ، الرومان المجرمين أحرقوا قرطاج لشدة حقدهم . سرقوا كل العلوم و الكتب و ترجموها دون ذكر المؤلفين الأصليين . لن أصدق روايتهم التاريخية .

i was in a 2 week vacantion in Tunisia and all i can say is that it baffled me how little the tunisians know about Carthage. Their religion really wipped out all sence of history pr belonging to that place out of their minds. the perfect example was that taxi driver who had no ideea what you where talking about. Tunisia must be the most estranged country of their own history on the face of the earth.

Gabriel why don’t you buy a guidebook that explains what the statues you discover are. If you expect us to watch advertisements to see your adventures, I don’t think we’re presumptuous to hope you do a little (easy) research.
