Part.3 - The Phoenician Imprint

[MoniksIsland]

History shows us that the Phoenicians colonized Malta in about 800BC. A Semitic race, they occupied the islands until their successors, the Carthaginians

[SemiticDiscovery]

The Phoenician Canaanites carried J2 Y-DNA aswell as J2 Y-DNA. The Amorites who carried J1 Y-DNA migrated north into Canaan in 3000 B.C and intermixed with the J2 Neolithic Syrids. J1 Y-DNA + J2 Y-DNA = Semitic Phoenician Canaanite civilization. Modern Phoenicians/Canaanites live in Lebanon , Palestine , Coastal Syria , Malta , Tunisia , Sicily etc. The Phoenicians were a Tribe of The Canaanites and they were related to the Philistines. Ultimately , they were Amorite (Western Arabian) in Origin.

[GoliathofGath]

If they were related to the Philistines then you cannot call the Phoenicians Semites. Philistines were not Semites.

[no14oraltorah]

Genesis 10:15-19. Sidon, son of Canaan. Sidonites (Phoenicians) descended were Canaanites.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

I am Palestinian originally, and I cherish our Canaanite ancestors, and I don't like how there isn't enough talk about them, but we also have a lot of Greek and Arabic heritage. We are mixed.

[oramikleepunk]

Do you believe the canaanites were hamites?

[3atreees]

Palestina.

[PhoenicianGoddess]

DR. SPENCER WELLS is right! The Phoenicians, The Caananites, and today's "LEBANESE" are all the same people :)

J2 (M172) Y-DNA = GENETIC MARKER OF THE PHOENICIANS & LEBANESE

[cursodearameo]

Malta con leche

[stagitt]

oh. so after all it might be true that the maltese come from the phoenicians.

[kataeb4ever]

not all maltese come from phoenicians....majority of Malta is Phoenician AND sicilian...thats why some have "phoenician" names and some have Italian names

[kalindoscopy]

VIVA MALTA!

[PapyrusSaga]

oh great so afrocentrics can stop there shit with there claim that phoenicians were black lol

[KushaDwipa]

Modern Syrians come from the same stock as Iraqis and other Euarasians. This has nothing to do with Phoenicians, Philistines Canaanites or even Amorites who are all still living in the Yemen, Hejaz and Oman under similar names.  Anakha, Nakhawil, Nakh'l Amurat, and Murad. They are dark and red brown like the Cedars of Lubnayn in the Yemen. See Kamal Salibi's, THE Bible Came from Arabia.

[patrickblake]

phoenicians-the true superior race. HAILS!

[eveningwind]

Spencer said, The DNA is found in Levant coast, Syria , Jordan and elsewhere in the Middle East. Expected.

[YaLibnanTV]

Ron Paul is for the people! Ron Paul for President!

[CatsupIslam]

"Carthage" was rebuilt by the Romans , Was the most important coastal position due to the fact whoever ruled Carthage could block the flow of trade.

It was a Phoenicians who was the first to Sail through the Gibraltar and into the Atlantic.They were also the first to refine clear glass.

[thefrightlane]

A truly awesome vid. Thanks for posting.  I was hoping that someone would take a closer look at genetic evidence for migrations in the classical and early medieval period. Now, it seems it is being done.

[YaLibnanTV]

Yup, it has been completed since 2004. Now they started a world wide Genetic study. To find out all of man kinds' migration.

[kahlousha]

what does he mean by North Africans, North Africans are of all skin colors? There was more "nomadism" before the bordered world. I hope they use the money to show how there is no race instead and that we are all humans with histories of migrations, movements, containments, proving that we all have the same genes and focus on spreading that we are humans who have the same roots.

[YaLibnanTV]

Thats the point of this study, their new study is where did we all come from. In the end we all come from eachother, were all humans, and if are genetic code says something else, then it isnt takin anything away from who we are but simply adding on. By the way this footage is for the Phoenician study which was completed a long time ago, and this was before the study was completed but they stuck to the same conclusions!

[montella2007]

Umm, well they wont be doing that since that isnt the case. We all have unique genetic and cultural histories showing a great diversity. Yes we share alot of our ancestry but we also have significant differences and experiences. North Africans are not of all skin colours, not the ABORIGINAL ones, i.e. the Berbers and 'Arabized' Berbers who mainly adopted Arab culture/language.

[exterminators]

Phoenicians are from lebanon, siria, jordan but all are arabs

[talton76]

maybe u dont know whats is the difference between christian arabe and muslim arabe so wake up

[patrickblake]

lebanese people are NOT arabs!

[iwinlaw]

I've tried to tell so many people that Lebanese Phoenicians aren't Arab and they look at me stunned. It is as if they think all people from the middle-east come from Saudi Arabia and the all the other cultures like the Assyrians, Coptics, Phoenicians didn't exist. It is really ignorant of people. I guy they don't want to admit that western civilisation should be grateful for its development because of the middle-eastern cultures.

[Assy84]

eeeerm.... nowadays all middle easterns believe they are arab...(except israelis of course)... so really it doesn't matter what you might state as being arab because of historical reasons. The mixture of races in middle east has taken place since the beginning of time. What you said makes therefore no sence

[JusticeAlliance]

Yes, you are very correct and your message is very insightful. Westerners definitely don't want to admit that a portion of their cultural foundation has middle eastern roots.

[kahlousha]

researches like this contradict themselves by proving they we are all originally from Africa, so we have a common denominator and then prove or try to prove that there are races and indigenousness, etc as in this comment by YaLibanTV: "Dr. Spencer Wells explains that they do not see a significant genetic influence in Lebanon, like Syria..

[YaLibnanTV]

Its already spoken for.

[kahlousha]

? I think the concept of indigenousness is still connected with the idea of a closed group of people who are different from "us" and who kept themselves away from the civilized world. How can we conclude that these indigenous are not so pure of a breed, maybe they are not all the same as these researchers see them. There are always gaps in genetic research, there will always be. What is new or surprising about this research?

[YaLibnanTV]

Check out there website above, their is a link.

[kahlousha]

this "scientific researcher" confuses Muslims with Arabs, Muslims are group of people who share a religions and they can be/could have been then spread around the world; Arabs are a group of people who share/shared the same land of origin. Why does he refer to the African as indigenous if we all come from Africa by the end?

[YaLibnanTV]

The Arabs are he ones who started Islam and created it to where they invaded and mix in some places.

[kahlousha]

Sorry, I have trouble being convinced by this supposedly researcher who self-assuredly say, " Carthage is modern day Tunis. Carthage is NOT modern day Tunis. It is still there and it is/was always been Carthage. Where did he get this information from? It was the former capital of Tunisia (coast of Barbary as it was called then) during the Phoenician time. And Tunis was Carthage's suburb. Now it is the opposite, Tunis is the capital and Carthage is its northern suburb.

[YaLibnanTV]

Carthage is a Phoenician word, it means "New Land" it was destroyed in the third Punic war by the Romans and the other colony below it in Tunis. Name changing is just all politics, like Lebanon was once considered the ottoman empire, and even Syria, when back then syria was consideraed Canaan and so was Israel untle the Assyrians and Israelites invaded. You have to put this all into context when doing a genetic study.

[Lidra]

Spencer Wells is such an intelligent man. I have so much respect for him. Thank you for posting this!

[nicky25malti]

I'm from Malta and sometimes I ask myself how come, we are white people? that answered my question, "partly"

[YaLibnanTV]

I love Malta! I would like to go there some day. Yeah, I think about it to, but me and you, were Mediterranean people, so we are light brown, even in North Africa, off of the shores, they are not all white nor all black. But, if I go in the sun, I'll tan easily and I won't burn. This clip is an interview before the study was completed. They later confirmed these facts; you can watch documentary "Quest of the Phoenicians".

[armenn88]

Now that's the kind of videos that we need to see much more often, thank for filling that gap in our culture.

[YaLibnanTV]

Thanks, I appreciate your support and understanding of the subject.
