The Ascent of Civilization - From Germanic Tribes to Carthage & Arabia | Extra Long Documentary

Essequibo: Hidden River | Extra Long Documentary - • Essequibo: Hidden Rive...
The Germanic tribes, rooted in Central and Northern Europe from the 6th century BC, were once dismissed by Romans like Tacitus, who depicted their homeland as a grim realm of forests and swamps. Yet, their impact on civilization is undeniable. Similarly, around 3,000 years ago, settlers from present-day Lebanon established Carthage in modern Tunisia, a grand metropolis with a world-renowned port. Meanwhile, since the 8th century, the Arabs, originally a disparate group bound mainly by language, brought knowledge of the ancient world to Europe in fields like medicine and math. Their unity was realized under Mohammed, who abolished polytheism and unified Arabic tribes in devotion to Allah.

My Stonehenge era relatives (3100 BC to 1600 BC) three are Balari and one a Pict. They lived in Amesbury and within 30 miles distance of Stonehenge at the time of it's construction. The Balari were a Nuragic civilization from Sardinia, which lasted from the 18th century BC up to the Roman colonization in 238 BC. they worshipped wells as the most holy of places. The Picts also worshipped wells in similar fashion, and were smeared as well demon worshippers by the Catholic Church thousands of years later. The Phoenicians helped found cities in Britain, and helped build Stonehenge. A Carthagian coin minted in Sardinia was found near Bath, UK, it is dated 300-264 BC, an incredibly fortunate find as it is irrefutable evidence. Bath is built around hot springs. Stonehenge is a Gate to the underworld, and spas places of healing. I have dozens of ancestors buried around these mystical places.

There are English subtitles for the German parts, if you turn them on, but they're huge, + block the whole bottom half of the picture! We just can't win with this show. That's such a shame, because in some ways it's really well done. It's just sad. Either you can't understand all the foreign dialogue, or the subtitles prevent you from seeing it, both ways you miss half the show. Now if the size of the subtitles could be reduced from MASSIVE to normal, maybe then they'd have a show worth watching.

Ovid spread the story of the child sacrifice .. after Rome stole the Carthaginian empire’s mercantile process .. the Roman’s even went so far as to forge Greek texts. The latest archeological study of the sites show a rich culture in Carthage that remembered their children in cemeteries in a world where death for mother and child during childbirth was very high. Rome destroyed Carthage and prevented its rise and competition with information warfare - no one wanted to do trade with the child sacrificing Carthaginians. Rome did the same to the Jews after stealing their religion.

[@lefeuvivant]

Les Francs n’étaient pas allemands, ils parlaient à l’origine une langue également connue sous le nom de vieux néerlandais. Le plus grand champ funéraire franc, les tumulus sur le Donderberg près de Rhenen qui contient 1 100 tombes franques, est situé aux Pays-Bas. Le plus grand trésor carolingien a également été trouvé aux Pays-Bas près de Dorestad. On peut donc dire que les Francs étaient hollandais. Cependant, Charlemagne est né dans le nord de la Gaule, donc en France, cela le rend français. Les Francs préféraient aussi clairement la culture, la religion (christianisme) et la langue gauloises-romanes à celles des « Allemands » et firent la guerre aux Saxons allemands. Aken était à l’origine Aix-la-Chapelle, une colonie romaine dans le nord de la Gaule. En termes modernes, vous pouvez dire; Charlemagne était un Français d’origine hollandaise qui détestait les Allemands.

[@Hooibeest2D]

Charles the main was a Frankish king of Germanic decent. There wasn't such a thing as France or Dutch in that time. And Dorestad was a Viking town most of its time. Anyway the Frank's have little to do with France. And so Charles the main has little to do with France. Also the Dutch are Germanic and old Dutch is a German language. So no Charlemagne wasn't a Frenchman!

[@lefeuvivant]

@@Hooibeest2D Oud-Hollands, ook bekend als Frankish, was geen Duitse taal, wel Germaans, maar Germaans is NIET hetzelfde als Duits. Dorestad was HET handelscentrum van de Karolingen in het noorden van hun Rijk, en pas na het uiteenvallen van het Karolingische Rijk, na de dood van Lodewijk de Vrome, viel deze stad ten prooi aan plunderingen door de Vikingen, maar dat overkwam zovele steden, zelfs Parijs, dat maakt Dorestad GEEN Viking stad. De Franken hebben alles met Frankrijk te maken. De Franken trokken vanuit de Lage Landen Gallië binnen en bevrijde het land van de Romeinse bezetter. De Franken namen de Gallo-Romaanse taal (wat tegenwoordig het Frans heet) en Gallo-Romaanse cultuur over terwijl zij constant oorlog tegen de Saksen (de Duitsers) voerden, hetgeen boekdelen spreekt. Het is daarom absurd om de Franken in deze documentaire Duits te laten spreken, Nederlands zou beter zijn ten tijde van Clovis, maar tegen de tijd dat Karel de Grote verschijnt spraken zij waarschijnlijk al Frans.

[@lefeuvivant]

@@Hooibeest2D En het is deze Frankische erfenis die de Fransen en Nederlanders met elkaar verbind. Immers beide volkeren hebben een neiging naar rebelse vrijheid (Frank en Vrij, nietwaar?), terwijl de Duitsers helemaal in paniek raken als de regeltjes niet stipt opgevolgd worden als gevolg van het feit dat Duitsland als land in 1870/1871 door de Pruisen gesticht is (het brein hierachter was de Pruisische minister-president Otto von Bismarck, met de koning van Pruisen als de Keizer van het nieuw gestichte Duitsland). De oorspronkelijke Pruisen waren een Baltisch-Slavisch volk dat onderworpen werdt aan het gezag van de Teutoonse Ridderorde. Het gevolg van deze Pruisische invloed is tekenend voor de Duitse psyche die tot aan 1945 aan een bijna religieuze verheerlijking van het militarisme leed. En tot op de dag van vandaag zijn Duitsers (voor Nederlanders tenen krom trekkend) slaafs onderdanig aan gezag. Daarom is een groter of machtiger Duitsland heel slecht nieuws. Het Bourgondische la belle vie à la française maakt ons Nederlanders veel gelukkiger dan de Duitse ganzenpas.

[@dukeon]

The concept of France didn’t exist at the time of the Franks. “The Franks emerged into recorded history in the 3rd century ce as a Germanic tribe living on the east bank of the lower Rhine River.” -Encyclopedia Brittanica. Hell, just read the Wikipedia article (or any reliable source that has citations) on “The Franks”. It’s not secret knowledge.

[@lefeuvivant]

@@dukeon On parle effectivement de la France à cette époque, que signifie à votre avis le mot latin Francia (le nom latin du royaume des Francs à cette époque) ? Clovis fit de Paris la capitale de son royaume de Francie. Personne ne nie que les Francs sont une tribu d’origine germanique, y prêtez-vous attention ? Les Francs saliens (c'est ce dont nous parlons ici) sont descendus des Pays-Bas jusqu'au sud de la Gaule. Ils chassèrent les Romains mais adoptèrent la langue, la culture et la religion prédominantes en Gaule et menèrent la guerre contre les Saxons allemands. Charlemagne ne parlait probablement plus le franc et c'est pourquoi le document divisant l'Empire franc a été rédigé en ancien français et non en franc.
