@@thedstorm8922 "At about 16:40 on 9 April 1942, the Luftwaffe dropped three bombs on the church, and two of them deflected without exploding. However, one 50 kg (110 lb) high-explosive bomb pierced the dome and entered the church, where a congregation of more than 300 people was awaiting early evening Mass. The bomb did not explode, and a Royal Engineers Bomb Disposal unit defused it and dumped it into the sea off the west coast of Malta. This event was interpreted as a miracle by the inhabitants, and a similar bomb is now displayed in the sacristy at the back of the church, under the words IL-MIRAKLU TAL-BOMBA, 9 TA' April 1942 (meaning "The Bomb Miracle, 9 April 1942")."

Tunisia is the most underrated country in the whole world. They have everything, amazing landscapes, a beautiful culture, rich history, great food, a beautiful dialect and gorgeous people and obviously freedom and democracy something rare in the arab world.

So far I've been to 19 countries and only one outside Europe - Tunisia. That was way back in 2008 and 2009. It's still by far the most memorable trip I had - first love, ruins of Carthage, camel ride, Kairouan mosque, dune buggy ride through the Sahara, Sidi Bou Said, and so on. I was really sad to hear about the struggles and hardships the people had to go through after 2010. I will always remember them as very hospitable, polite, kind, cheerful and knowledgeable. I really hope to return to Tunisia eventually. Much love from Serbia.

And today you can still find the Serb Orthodox Church that they have built for the community and they have been a part of Tunisian society since! 😁

As a Sicilian, Tunisia is not only my favourite African country but also the one i feel closest to. My family is originally arabic and phoenician too. I see Tunisia (and much of the Maghreb) as just as Mediterranean in culture as us Italians, Spaniards, Greeks etc... We share so many cultural ties, including one of our best regional(ized) dishes of Sicily, cous-cous. I love how colorful everything is, I love how they never forget their culture and history but i also love how they don't let the past dictate how a modern society should be run. Tunisia is the bridge between the European, Arab and African worlds, as most places in the Mediterranean tend to be.

Great episode. Much love to Tunisia! Just one thing: The Romans did not cover Carthage with salt. The only existing record where this alleged event is talked about is in a book found in Oxford that was practically invented out of nowhere. The Author of said writing knew the Bible from cover to cover, and in it there is a passage where it is told of an ancient city covered in salt after its destruction, and for some reason he wrote that the Romans had done the same to Carthage.

true he actually mixed it with other story but in history Tunisia (Africana) know to be the land of the richirest roman Senators and who ever control it would be the closest to te empror or even the empror himsekf (rome had a lot of tunisian emporors)

[@CSWELL1886]

CARTHAGO DELENDA EST The myth likely originated from Roman propaganda and a war tradition. Rome detested Carthage especially after the Second Punic War so wanted to wipe them from existence and show the consequence of opposing Rome to any potential rivals. If they claimed to have entirely destroyed Carthage (salting it), it warned rivals of Rome's wrath. Carthage had traumatised and humiliated Rome at times and Rome wanted said humiliations to be forgotten forever. So if Carthage was "destroyed", so would the memory of their humiliations. A tradition in Rome was that they would have a patch of "enemy soil" in Rome and when they went to war they would thrust a spear into said patch to symbolise the beginning of war. It is possible that they covered this patch in salt and therefore (by this logic) covered Carthage in salt.

Your timing on releasing this video couldn’t be more perfect for me. I’m writing a fiction novel about a girl trying to haphazardly survive the French Revolution and she’s half Tunisian. This week I’m working on the chapter about her full-Tunisian mother, and I’m in the midst of learning all about 18th century Tunisian and North African history and geography. I’m trying to make the story as historically and geographically plausible as possible despite being fictional, so if you have any recommendations on Tunisian research resources I’d greatly appreciate it! Long live Tunisia! I hope to visit one day!

@@John-pk9rw If you are Tunisian speak Derja w'warrilna rou7ek... Or are you more interested in Role Playing and spreading Amazign Supremacist Propaganda? Did the 300 people that lynched and burned Djamel Bensmail (God rest his soul) alive ask for his 23andMe report? You are not Tunisian and all you are interested in is appropriating the culture of other people because you have none of your own.

[@Umkarz]

​@@John-pk9rw If you are such an "indigenous" guy how can you not speak the language that everyone speaks in our country? Or is belonging to a nation only a matter of a DNA test result to you? Is that why you burned the kid Djamel Bensmail who was trying to put out forest fires alive? To prove how much of a Good People you are?

[@Umkarz]

​@@John-pk9rw I don't speak "Tamazight" because Tunisian Derja is a mix or Arabic, Berber, and other languages. Eastern Berbers have existed continuously in Tunisia for thousands of years and are a distinct people and not "Amazigh" in the least way. Almost all Tunisians are "Arabo-Berber" like almost all of the English are "Anglo-Saxon". The Amazigh Alphabet was phased out in the 6th Century when its own people decided to switch to writing Latin while not an Arab man was in sight, that is a historical fact. The Amazigh Culture has no books, movies, series, or pop-culture to explore. Since I am not an Algerian mountain man there is no interest for me to learn it or speak it, much like a Scotsman has little to no interest in learning Welsh. Tunisia's History as a DISTINCT territory starts with the Phoenecians and Punics, not the "amazigh" and that is an easily verifiable Historical fact. Have a nice day. It feels good to speak the language of the country you were born and raised in, and that 99.9% of your people speak that same language... An amazing feeling really, and enough for me.

[@Umkarz]

@@John-pk9rw Listen John I know it's hard to accept but you will never "get" Tunisia. We don't lynch and burn people alive on camera in Tunisia during modern day witch-hunts like what happened in the Djamel Bensmail case... We're a peaceful and educated people. As for "trying again"... I don't need to. As I have said, a simple internet search could provide you with a diverse set of Academic Sources, none of which support your claims, and many of whom support my points. Also Algeria IS Arab... And it seems that it will remain so for the foreseeable future, sadly for you, I might add. I know you have a strong fixation on so-called "genetic studies", but those are still work-in-progress, proprietary, and the pool that they use in Africa and the Middle East has a known European bias that is acknoledged by many academics. Again: A simple search of any of my points will prove my point and hopefully dissipate any misunderstandings you might have. Tunisia is Arabo-berber, or Berbero-arab, however you want to slice it... But it does not have a strong identitarian Amazigh presence. That is just a simple fact of life that you will have to cope with, sadly for you. Let me say this AGAIN: The "Amazigh" people decided to abandon their own alphabet (NOT their spoken language, I say this again so that this fact may properly enter your brain) under Rome for the more popular Latin script. No Arab forced them to do it... Out of curiosity, I would also like to ask you... What is your favourite "classic" Amazigh TV series or Novel? Could you perhaps name one that was written before 1999? I'll wait. May I suggest that there is some latent anti-semitism holding you back from looking at sources with a neutral eye? Perhaps it is time to start doing some "soul searching" instead of "DNA searching" my friend. Good luck and have a good one.

You can say for sure...

[@pseidee]

@@roatskm2337 I think I can answer as a Turkish. So to be honest if you go to a non-touristic city it might be hard to communicate but you will most likely find someone who helps or be able to communicate with google translate at the end. Most of the old people dont know english except the ones from touristic cities. And young people are getting better everyday. But I recommend you to go to touristic cities. In Antalya, İzmir, İstanbul, Ankara and in all Aegean coastline, I dont think you will have any problems. And ofcourse if you go to a specific touristic place that is not in a touristic city, (such as Sümela Monastery in Trabzon, or any natural beauty in anywhere in Anatolia) there will be people to help you there.

[@Devillunar]

@@roatskm2337 It depends on a lot of factors. The rural parts, Black Sea Region and Eastern Turkey generally don't know any or very little English. In big cities like İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir you can find people that speak fluidly/ semi fluidly. The coastal regions to the west and south probably know good English, because they are touristic regions. Of course you would have much better chance of people speaking English in any region from a younger person.

The people there were so friendly to us, everywhere we went, people thanked us just for visiting their country. We felt so welcome there. Other Tunisian metal bands to check out include Dividing the Element and Myrath. Kafon is also a well known song artist in Tunisia, though some of his songs have been controversial. The grand mosque in Kairouan is one of the holiest mosques in the Islamic world, but if you look closely at some of its pillars, you will see Christian crosses. These pillars used to construct the mosque were probably taken from an ancient Byzantine structure!

As a Tunisian the episode is great despite some inaccuracies, the represenation of Tunisia is excellent but i think what makes a Tunisian a Tunisian wasn't quite represented accuretly and that's understandble since the country has tons and tons and tons of history the video will be longer and some parts are complexed. some inaccuracies are : 1) La Galite جالطة and les Canis (2 islands) جزر الكلاب are two different islands in the north. 2) there are other variants of Kosksi considered as classics as Kosksi bel l7am (Meat typically sheep) and Kosksi bel 3osben ( with sheep stomach wrapped in intestines but some governorates do it differently you can find it mainly in the Sahel region (Sousse or Monastir and their suburbs) 3) as a Tunisia i've never seen a Ski resort in Tunisia. (Yes we get some snow in some northwest parts of the country) but i don't think there is a fully-fledged resorts for that. Overall, despite some true interpretations like the identity crisis, The complexed and chaotic political strucutre and enviorment in the past 10 dark years etc.. I genuinely liked the video. there is more of Tunisia than this but good effort on the episode, it's not easy to find stuff about Tunisia and Barbs come to Tunisia one day and explore it personally.😁

Another thing, maybe there's no "an actual tribalism" in the coastal regions but it exists strongly in the southern parts and in the western mountains near the Algerian borders. Also the some words like "sabbat" it's actually an arab word not Spanish since almost all arab countries use this word. Honestly I've felt that there's some kind of "inferiority complex" comes out from both of these guys in order to show Tunisia like more western.

Great video, been waiting for it for a while ! Big up to Sami & Ahmed ! 📙Few important additional information : Carthage under the lead of Hannibal Barca came the closest to beating the Roman republic and have occupied all of Italy but the city of Rome. Tunisian football is very influenced by Italian football culture. Some of the cities in the east have to this day neighborhoods called Sekili or the Sicilian, with the majority of people coming from sicily historically, namely in the 80s. The east and the west have very contrast values, namely regarding liberalism and conservatism, and some cities like Sfax and Djerba have quite different cultures and customs. Tunisians are known to be very flexible on learning languages, besides having to learn Arabic (very different from Tunisian), French and English, they also have to pick another language in high school in order to graduate (Italian, Spanish or German). Following the attacks in Sousse, Tunisia saw a shift of tourists from French and German tourists to more Russian tourists, and most of the people working in the tourism industry picked up russian in a year's time (Namely in Sousse, Mahdia and Djerba) Ons Jabeur, currently WTA #2 is the most popular athlete in Tunisia and you can go to small cafes/bars in small cities and you will have people that know nothing about Tennis watching the full game Tunisians and Moroccans are not that close, at least not the same level with the Algerians, namely in the past 10 years because of some incidents (Football, political influence, a sort of trade shifts etc) Tunisia is also where Saint-Augustine was born and where he got his education. Tunisia is hosting the summit of Francophone countries with all the leaders of Francophone countries in September 2022 in Djerba. Indiana Jones was also shot in Tunisia (Tozeur) Tunisian culture has a strong culture influence from countries in the region, namely in the 2000s (Italy, with Rai Uno being one of the only TV channels available in the 90s, Lebanon and Egpyt with the influence of thier music and movies, France, namely with the culture influence of the expats there) As a Tunisian from Djerba I want to clarify that 1. The ethnicity/Religion numbers are very inaccurate, there are more than 2000 jews in Tunisia 2. The 98% Muslims is very inaccurate and very outdated, In Tunisia, 31 percent of all ages define themselves as not religious according to a more recent survey 3. A higher percentage identifies as berber, namely in the following 10 years
