As someone born and raised in Tyre, which we call Sour in the local language, i appreciate your work so much! Sometimes i walk around the old ruins of Tyre and look at people around walking and not realizing what they are standing next to!

[@elguido]

Nowadays Tyre is a peninsula and not island anymore. As far I understand it was precisely because of the bridge Alexander built. It changes the sediment deposition pattern and expanded the bridge. Fascinating stuff

[@HistorywithCy]

Yeah, I saw that when looking at it in Google maps...would love to visit one day, so much medieval history there too! Hope all is well with you and thanks so much for watching and continuing to support the channel!

[@bethbartlett5692]

Yes, I recently learned of this. *Talk about "leaving an impression".* - Alexander, the "Aggressor" (can't bring myself to accept the title as it is attributed to his campaigns of War, his Great can definitely be found in his Higher Minded efforts, aka "the Library"), (what he allowed in Persia, tarnished his triumph).

[@KAZVorpal]

Wait, is that not included in this documentary? I'm just starting it, and barely feel like it's worth finishing if it's not going to cover such an important detail. Essentially, Tyre's safety as an island was a key component in the ability of the Phoenician movement to survive so much Mediterranean upheaval. Alexander, destroying Tyre, broke the core of the culture. That led to Carthage, the largest remaining Phoenician center, to poorly carry on until its more aggressive attitudes got it conquered by Rome. If not for the destruction of Tyre, the Phoenician culture may have survived. Not acceptable to overlook that part.

[@alexanderyagiela1724]

​@KAZVorpal good point. Worth the watch, you seem like prick

[@pinchevulpes]

Cy to add to your excellent report The Tyrians refused Alexander’s bid to sacrifice in the main citadel because symbolically that would mean he had true dominion over the city (ancient superstition/tradition ) instead offering him the temple in the old Tyre. It wasn’t exactly Herakles either it was Melkart the supposed Phoenician equivalent. Great video!!

[@chuckensmith]

I’m pretty sure that causeway remains to this day, expanded upon slowly over time, turning the island into a peninsula.

I was listening to the History of Egypt podcast today, and it was heavily focused on the letters from the governor of the city of Byblos, Rib-Hadda, who was constantly petitioning the king of Egypt for aid against a rebellious vassal, Abdi-Ashirta & sons, but was (seemingly) often ignored. Felt really bad for the guy... Great vid as usual. Byblos in the future I hope? :D

[@HistorywithCy]

Thanks! Yes, will definitely do Byblos and read some of those letters between the pharaoh and Rib-Hadda, also might do something on Abdi-Ashirta and Aziru, more when I get to the New Kingdom of Egypt which should be later on this year. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

[@DarrenGedye]

Yes, people often talk of Egypt having an "Empire", but their xenophobia meant it was more of a hegemony and Egypt didn't give a toss what happened there so long as the tribute kept coming.

[@YadinZedek777]

Citium (Citium) is the Latinised form of the Ancient Greek name Kition (Κιτιον), which is itself the Hellenised form of a Phoenician name attested in the forms 𐤊𐤕‎ (kt) and 𐤊𐤕𐤉‎ (kty), among the names of other Cypriot cities, and considered to refer to Kition. The town with the name Kittim in the bible, used by the Hebrews to designate all of Cyprus and even lands further west. Literary evidence suggests an early Phoenician presence also at Kition which was under Tyrian rule at the beginning of the 10th century BC. Some Phoenician merchants who were believed to come from Tyre colonized the area and expanded the political influence of Kition. After c. 850 BC the sanctuaries [at the Kathari site] were rebuilt and reused by the Phoenicians." Ptolemy I conquered Cyprus in 312 BC and killed Poumyathon, the Phoenician king of Kition, and burned the temples. Shortly afterwards the Cypriot city-kingdoms were dissolved and the Phoenician dynasty of Kition was abolished.

[@hermescarraro3393]

oh, you are gonna talk about all the important Canaanite cities? That's freaking dope! Will you talk about the city of Jericho and Moab too? About Moab... I am still confused about its identity. On one hand it's obviously a Canaanite city with clear sign of canaanite beliefs and culture. However, the Israelites called them canaanite sometimes and sometimes they didn't. In the book of Joshua the Moabites are left alone during the conquest and their land is "called land of Moab", presenting it as a separate land from Canaan, even tho they are clearly canaanites, a big canaanite state, yes, possibly a small empire, but canaanite none the less... It's confusing. I know that Canaanite is a rather deceptive word, cause they were never a unified people. But still, it's like if the persians called most of Greece and greek citystates "Greece", but called Athen "the Athenian state", making it separate from the rest of Greece in their literature out of nowere. It's just... weird...

[@HistorywithCy]

Yes, will definitely talk more about Canaanite cities, Byblos will be the next one. As for Jericho and Moab, that's a good question. I think (and I could be wrong) but a lot of speakers of western Semitic languages in ancient times get lumped together as Canaanites. I think in the case of Moab, it could be considered a Canaanite state/people since I know that their language was just another dialect of Canaanite, not something different like Akkadian. I personally would classify Moabites as one of the several Canaanite peoples, but to be sure probably want to confer with a specialist in the field. Hope all else is well on your end and thanks for watching!

I wonder the true nature of the Phoenician cities to each other.

[@bfrehksdhf]

I love how thick modern historians are today. It shouldn't take six years of 'mandarin school' to figure out the obvious: - The Phoenicians, as claimed by contemporaries like Herodotus, flourished due to early control of shipping, but also by piracy and the monopolization of religious, trading, and governmental powers under one trading network through her colonies, like some proto-Hanseatic League. They were sailing the 'high-seas' while the Gyppos were still figuring out how to float a dingy down the Nile. - All the Sea Peoples origins have links to Phoenician colonizers. The Sherdan with their horned helmets and solar disks (think Ba'al/El). Thebes, Argos, and Mycenae all have founding links to Phoenicia. Crete/Minos was so obviously founded by Phoenicians the historians have to be getting paid off at this point to ignore this. At least they admit Cadmus was Phoenician. - Then these mysterious "Sea Peoples" go around and sack the entire world, EXCEPT for all these Phoenician trading cities and colonies abroad. The Egyptians have a special relationship with the Phoenicians, since they were the ones supplying the cedarwood for Egyptian temples, hence they are spared. - Immediately after this, the Phoenicians start their Golden Age. Meanwhile their cousins, the Israelites, are founding their 12 tribes and securing the Phoenician hinterland, sporting similar names that the Egyptians were calling the Sea Peoples. Wesh-ash (Tribe of Asher), Dan-yen (Tribe of Dan). ... .. - " BUT WHO WERE THE SEA PEOPLES?!" *facepalm*
