I like that is an increasing attention to talk about geography in the narration before entering on cultural and sociological aspects. Epimetheus is really perfecting his craft.

[@introtwerp]

[@k.c1126]

This focus on the geography is particularly important for locations like Canaan, since so much of the area's history is heavily influenced by its geography.

[@Tiger_Fanatic]

Well think about it it’s in the center of the “known world” between Europe, Asia, and Africa. In addition, the Bible says that the area is “a land of milk and honey” which means that it has lots of resources and riches. So, it has been prime real estate for many a empire in history. Except the Romans, who called the area a wasteland essentially.

[@Tiger_Fanatic]

@Ghost Ghost The Jewish-Roman wars is what I think you are referring to. Those were three wars. That does not stop them from saying that Judea was a wasteland. Judea was nothing to the Romans. They didn’t understand the conflicts there.

[@Tiger_Fanatic]

@Flavius Ibrahimius well I misunderstood. But the video is about Canaan. And people fought for Canaan for millennia too. So, that’s what I thought. It was a misunderstanding.

[@scintillam_dei]

It's the only place between three continents. Without America, the center of the world is in Central Asia, but with America which is closer to Europe than Asia (except for Alaska), the center of the world goes to Israel, where God chose to have his throne, the middle of the biggest desert region in the world from the Gobi to western Sahara. It is also between seas (Red and Med. of course). It is perfectly situated for the Messiah, but the Anti-Christ shall rule before Jesus returns.

[@scintillam_dei]

​@@Ahmad-oh6icthey ain't most Palestinians are arabs

[@maybethebaby4263]

⁠@@Ahmad-oh6icthis you actually got wrong. Cananites are a subgroup of the Phoenicians. Phonecians were a vast spans of people, and many lived in both Judea and Jerusalem and later many became Jewish. DNA sampling suggest that ancient Phoenicians lived on to what is today people living in Israel and Lebanon. The Palestinians of today are not so much unified group of people. Many came to the region in the 1800s from both Jordan and Lebanon, as part of Arab immigrants. Some Arab tribes lived in the region longer and an often be defined as we today call Palestinians, even though they at this time did not have a unified name for the people in the region. This is important as the idea of one group having a claim over another doesn’t really match on in either of the Jewish or Arabic cases. But have ties there, both population were exchanged over time and expelled at different ages. The original people are long dead, and only ancestors who are a mix of so many cultures and ethnics since then, are alive today. If an argument of the area belonging to solely belonging to Arabs, then similiar claims must be true for the European crusaders and their offspring that for a long time lived in the region. Same as the Christian population who often is called “Christian Arabs” or “Christian Palestinians”. Remember, these Christian have longer ties to the region as they never left, and DNA studies reveal a much different profile than Muslim Arab counterparts, indicating a separation much earlier. In other words, this conflict is not Arabs vs Jews, it is not natives versus invaders.

Very informative! Thank you for this interesting history of Canaan!

Very informative, with a nice message at the end. Glad I subbed.

Very thorough and great representation of how long and to what extent Egypt ruled the area (which is often greatly underappreciated). My only critique is that you stopped a few centuries too soon. A brief discussion of what happened to the folks in the region...even if just to provide summaries of various theories, would have made this stronger. Right now, it ends as if everyone disappeared at once.

Explaining with the topography/terrain really illustrates the significance of it.

Thank you for this well researched presentation about the Levant.

It's finally making a lot of sense. The Bible recounts a lot of references to the sea, fishermen and fish. Fish and bread was a staple diet within that region. And to be able to conjure it would mean one that can catch many fish. It's very likely the farmable land produced an abundance of fish and bread due to it's coastline and farmable land.

Hey @Epimetheus! Have you ever considered doing a video on Old Europe and the Cucuteni-Trypillia? Many would consider them to have built the first cities hundreds of years before the Sumerians

I like this geographical/topographical kind of episode. Would love to see one on Anatolia and Transoxiana.

An exellent summary of the history of the crazy region in which i live. Respect!

[@dennisotieno6830]

Great video that answers so many questions. Biblically, Canaanites were descendants of Canaan who was the lastborn son to Ham, who was also lasborn son to Noah. Canaan's most notable brother is Nimrod known to be a skilled and mighty hunter, other off-biblical sources names Nimrod as the one who spearheaded the building of the Babel tower and later founded the ancient Babylon city. It is also worth noting that Ham, the father to Canaan was also nicknamed Canaan.

Canaan was the son of Shem, NOT Ham. I have no idea how you people keep getting this wrong
