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

[MrHichammohsen]

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!

There’s so much history in the near east it almost makes me Tyred…

[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!!

I recently was reading Ezekiel and came across the Lord's destruction of, thanks for the docu coverage, just rapping my head around it looking for possible consistency

Another awesome video. Would love to see the series continue with Byblos, Arados and eventually Cartaghe!

[kennyursohot]

It's insane to me how much ancient writing we have. I want to read it all.

[Imperiused]

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

[chuckensmith]

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

[PoliticalFuturism]

This is another great video Cy! Excellent work, as per usual. Ancient Levantine cities are always fascinating to learn about. I'd love to see you cover more!

[starkilr]

I’ve been looking forward to this. Trying to work out a story involving Agenor and his rise to kingship following both the myths and history. Not always easy.

Keep up the good work, Cy

Phoenicia is the old Lebanon. I visited more than 80 countries and Lebanon is one of the top 3 most beautiful countries I ever visited.

[BonesyTucson]

Good stuff! Thank you for putting this together.

[JohnDoe-yqml]

The Phoenicians are very interesting thank you for this.

[Iambrendanjames]

Another History with Cy video! I am here for it! haha. I find pre-Peloponnesian war history is what catches my attention the most. Probably because the lack of remaining records leaves so much for want.
