History of the Phoenicians

The Phoenicians (1500--300 b.c.)

Who Were the Phoenicians?

[imemyself]

Phoenecians were great navigators and the first in so many ways! Salute and greetings from the Vikings.
We hope Libanon will rise again to past greatness as traders and diplomats like their magnificient ancestors.

Shopping with the phoenicians back then was like shopping on Amazon today.

I have Phoenician ancestry! I liked watching this and learning about my history:) I also have Greek, southern French and Italian. I'm a proud Mediterranean!

Far, FAR superior to other video offerings concerning the Phoenicians. Excellent, and well worth the watching!

I am very happy to watch this as a Phoenician! Thank you for sharing this!

[OnlyMyPOV]

I grew up watching the great Lebanese Danny Thomas and his daughter Marlo Thomas. Wonderful classy people.

Hi im from México and many experts here believe that Quetzalcoatl diety was a Viking man, but I believe it is more possible he was a Phoenician person, who shared knwoledge like Architecture, (Pyramid making), Astronomy, agriculture (commerce of crops) and many other wonders the Americans learned from this Cultural Exchange

you can't be ancient people without silly hats.

[elbertderf]

im proud to sell Phoenecian Blinds wholesale.

No wonder why Jews are such good businesspeople they lived right next to these guys.

I'm by Cape Town, South Africa. Evidence incidentally has been found here of Phoenicians having been here. One doesn't hear much about that, even here.

They went to Ireland and England for tin to make Bronze.

Africans were using gold as money, as it is still used, not because they had "little use" for the precious metal. It's use is to trade!

[lukelee]

Nobody thought there was 'an end of the world'. The greeks knew the earth was round and they proved it using a stick, a well, and shadows.

[arthurroberts]

Though phonicians may have settled Lebanon as well as several other area's in the Mediterranean, not all people of phonician decendent are lebonese alot of us are Sicilian as well and have absolutely no ties to Lebanon

[lightbearer]

you can judge the accuracy of the video, by 2 things

1. it claims that the proud Phoenicians took their name from the greek word for red.
2. Gibraltar, and pillars of hercules are the same place,

The older doco's are always the best
